Hello to all:

It is sort of an old concept in Windows and Windows applications that may solve your issues.

The application must have a table of substitutes for fonts; and I'll bet there is something in the application's preferences, a configuration file, or through the Windows Registry that can specify which fonts get used as substitutes for which fonts. For example, a .pdf that used (but has not embedded) the "Helvetica" font would be substituted with "Arial" as they are almost near exact replacements for one another. You may have to manually specify which of your installed fonts you want to use in place of the ones used in the document that you do not have.

So, check in Configuration areas for your applications. I found mine several years ago with PDF issues in Windows 98 after doing some searches in early web search engines.

True Type fonts and numerous variations can be a great tool but....often issues arise with the many aside from default Windows installations.

I don't know if this is the precise error you're having, but in TMS 2018 we've found that any report using Calibri font will replicate things like extra "f" s (ex. format becomes fformat) so I changed a bunch of our reports to use Arial instead. Its unclear if this is a Crystal -> TMS issue or just a Crystal issue since we also got a new version of Crystal recently, but most of us prefer Arial anyway.

A workaround I've found for PDF export oddities (even ones that exist in Adobe/Foxit) is exporting to Word and then saving to PDF, its an extra step, but if you truly need fonts that aren't playing well or have orientation issues then there ya go.

Best,

I would second that advice. Using the Crystal Report export feature to produce PDFs brings issue with certain fonts, and other formatting issues. If you have Adobe Acrobat writer or the Foxit PDF program installed, they will provide better and more consistent quality for users.

Hi All,
I would try ‘printing’ to a PDF instead of exporting to one.
That usually takes care of formatting problems we’ve had.

In the report in crystal look at the box ‘dissociate formatting page size and printer paper size’ which is located under page setup.
Make sure the box is checked.
That has also caused us problems and once the box is checked, the formatting is fixed.

Good luck,
Julie

Hi Adrian,

We use TMS 2018 and have not had that specific issue but we have encountered a problem with the fonts not displaying characters correctly and with images not aligning on the PDF export of our reports - these issues were not previously present.

If you hear of a solution I would be very interested in learning about it.

Sincerely,

Sylvia,

Subject: Reports

Hi dear friends,

I find myself in a bit of a conundrum. It rutns out that when we generate a reporte on TMS 2016, the orientation of the report, once we export to pdf, shoud be horizontally and in fact, it is true in many of our computers, but only in two of them, the report comes up in the wrong orientation (vertical position) and the data show up  misplaced due this page orientation.

We reinstalled acrobat but it doesn't seem to make much difference.

¿Has anyone come across this and managed to resolve it?

Any idea or clue of what can I do to troubleshot this problem will be appreciated.

Thank you!
