Fonts not appearing properly at runtime.

Hi Experts,

I am using Adobe Ineractive Forms to generate a certificate.The issue is that irrespective of any font i use in the designer , it <b>only shows Arial font</b> at runtime.

It shows the proper font in the PDF preview tab of designer,but at runtime it shows only arial.

I am using it on development environment , can that be an issue? Are all the fonts only available on production licensing?

Hi,

the font must be know on the ADS Server and the ADS Printer device type.

The device type configuration stands in a *.XDC file.

In device type "POST2" are only following fonts available: Arial, AvantGarde, Bookman, Courier, Helvetica, Marigold, NewCenturySchlbk, Palatino, Symbol, Times-Roman, Wingdings, ZapfChancery and ZapfDingbats.

Does this mean only the above mentioned forms will be displayed at runtime? What can i do to use different fonts at runtime also?

Hi,

fonts must be installed in the ADS fonts manager:

Great.So no configuration to be done at the client side for the fonts?I mean een the clietn machine needs the font package to be installed? Or just installing it on the server is enough?

Hi,

installing the fonts on the server should be enough.

Dieter/Virag,

Do you have to reboot the server after you install the fonts in the windows server where ADS is running? I've added the new font into the windows server, but the print out still not picking up the fonts. Before I asked tech. team to reboot the server, I would like to know if that the reboot is mandatory.

Iwan

I've asked my BASIS team to reboot the server and it works fine now.

Hi Virag,

According to me it should work on a development enviroment. When the pdf document is created it should embed the choosen font(s) (except 2 default fonts Myrid or something like that). I didn't see this issue before.

Kind regards,

Maarten.
