Re: font embedding and encoding, ANSI vs CID
Clay, Since I wrote this I did the same test without the encryption and I get the same results. This is really another team's code, and they tried and failed to get the FOP encryption working. (I'm not really sure what the problem was). I had been using iText for a while and so I used that. I too would be interested in any comparison's, but first I need to tackle this one :) - dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/15/2004 12:12 PM Please respond to fop-user To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: font embedding and encoding, ANSI vs CID On Jun 15, 2004, at 7:57 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: SNIP'd > I am using iText to post process the document to encrypt it and > prevent editing, etc, perhaps it is the combination of CID and > encryption, I'm not really sure.

I hear it's nice (although I haven't used it yet...). BTW, it would be nice to get feedback how it compares to using iText for the same task. Comparisons would be appreciated based on: speed; functionality; implementation; ease of use; resulting file size: and anything else you can think of!

Re: font embedding and encoding, ANSI vs CID
We use only ANSI because the CID takes much longer to render. Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] ank.com To 06/15/2004 09:57 [EMAIL PROTECTED] AM cc Subject Please respond to font embedding and encoding, ANSI [EMAIL PROTECTED] vs CID he.org Hi, I am using FOP 0.20.5 to create PDF's and have some questions/problems with my approach towards font embedding and encoding. I need to embed the fonts into the PDF to ensure a consistent rendering across various systems because they are legal docs distributed to the public via the web. I was originally using the default CID encoding, but the FOP FAQ describes some problems with the CID encoding, and worse than those, when I print it using adobe 4.0 it is completely mangled. ( It looks like the fonts are scrambled, many different chars, sizes, etc ). I am using iText to post process the document to encrypt it and prevent editing, etc, perhaps it is the combination of CID and encryption, I'm not really sure. At any rate, I need to keep the encryption. When I use the -enc ansi option when creating my font metrics file everything looks and prints great, but the entire font(s) end up in the file, making even a 1 page document 742KB. (Obviously it depends on the number/size of the fonts in the doc). I seem to be in a pickle. I need to support Adobe 4.0, encryption, and font embedding, but don't want to pay the price of extremely large files. Is it possible to get FOP to only embed the font partially even if I use ansi encoding? Does anyone have any recommendations on how to deal with this scenario? I don't know much about the CID vs ANSI encoding, which do most people use, and is there a recommendation on when to use what? I have read the FOP pages, and looked through the email archives, but have not yet been able to find much guidance here. Any help is greatly appreciated!
