Embedded fonts in PDF

[sebastian_hockmann2]

Hello

we need to embed our own font "Frutiger" in our AdobeForms.

I installed fonts (TTF) in the Adobe Directory already and

edited XFA.XCI File already but Fonts are not embedded.

I attached a screenshot of the File and the TTF Font.

Any ideas why this is not working ?

BR,

Sebastian

xfa.xci.txt.zip

In that thread there is a message by Gunnar  Mar Gunnarsson where he suggests steps to do what you are trying to do.

Try editing your xfa.xci file the way he suggests.

Dear Sebastian,

I checked your PS fonts from folder "Frutiger Next PC PS Single",

please see my steps below:

1) I copied this two folders from "Frutiger Next PC PS Single",

"Condensed" and "Standard" to ADS server folder /usr/sap/

<SID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/FontManagerService/fonts/customerMore information you can find in manual:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73ehp1/helpdata/en/4b/95ae9c26f26e83e10000000a421937/content.htm

2) I edited a custom_xfa.xci file (can be a xfa.xci file).

More information in SAP Note: 1815722 - How to embed specific font on

PDF output

3) I created PDF and fonts Frutiger are embedded.

Please check my PDF attached "sample.pdf". You can find there also my

custom_xfa.xci file.

Your question:

Where to find in TTF and PS (*.afm,*.inf, *.pfb) the font name to be

noted in xfa.xci?

Please look at SAP Note 1815722 - How to embed specific font on PDF

output -> Solution -> 1. Find out correct font name

If issue still exist please send to us second time an ADS font trace

information (SAP Note 1717189) and please create a PDF (print preview)

with additional info (template, data, ...) by the note 944221 chapter

"Generated PDF with additional information".

1. Call the Form Builder (transaction SFP).

2. Choose "Utilities -> Settings".

3. In the dialog box, choose the option "Very Detailed Trace" for

"Trace Level" under "Runtime Information".

After that generate the PDF and send to us.

Best regards,
