MICR font

[casolorz]

We have a PDF generated with an Amyuni printer which has MICR fonts in it. When we go to print the document with teh Amyuni printing code we can't get those fonts to print. Acrobat seems to print it fine on some computer although we see problems with Acrobat too.
Any ideas what we may be missing?

Hello,

Is the MICR font embedded in the PDF file or not?

Is this font installed on the system from which your are printing the PDF file?

Which version of the PDF Converter are you using to generated the PDF file? Are you printing it using the PDF Converter or the PDF Creator?

[casolorz]

I am using the printer that comes with the converter to generate the pdf and then I am using code we wrote with teh converter api to print that pdf on a different machine. We are using 2.5

The machine generating the PDF has the font installed and we are generating it by printing from various programs.

The machine receiving the PDF doesn't necessarily have the font.

I don't know if the font is embedded or not, depends on how the amyuni printer makes the PDF I imagine.

The PDF Converter Printer enables you to generate PDF files with embedded fonts or not, it is up to you to decide.

If you are printing to the PDF Printer from the User Interface you can set font embedding from the Advanced Tab of the printer Properties. If you are printing to the PDF Printer programatically you can add 16 to your call of FileNameOptions().

For more information please get back to the PDF Converter developer or end user manual.

Hope this helps,

Well I added the embedded stuff to my filenameoptions:
+ MultilingualSupport + EmbedFonts + EmbedLicensedFonts

and it didn't seem to work. Also if I try to open the PDF on acrobat I get an error. "Could not extract the embedded font"....[/img]

I think the font might have been bad because we tried a different MICR font and it worked fine.

Ok, so this is resolved I guess.

We are having this problem again. Looks like some fonts get embedded fine while other don't. Usually when the font doesn't work looking into the PDF reveals that the font is "partially" embedded.
These are our options:
BroadcastMessages + NoPrompt + UseFileName + MultilingualSupport + EmbedFonts + EmbedLicensedFonts + FullEmbed +EmbedStandardFonts +EmbedSimulatedFonts

Are we missing something? using 2.5 at the moment.

Thanks,

Hello,

Please remove embedsimulatedfonts from the list. Also if you don't have licensed fonts no need to call it.

Another option would be to try partially embedding the fonts instead of fully embedding them (i.e you need to remove FullEmbed from the list).

Hope this helps.
