Re: Fwd: FOP 1.1 - Unable to copy/paste text is not working
Hi Luis, Thanks for reply. Yes, my editor can handle used font. If you highlight the text in the editor and set the font to Arial do you see any glyph? For PDF text - No For embedding this, May be I added embedding mode full later, after generating PDF, but in both the cases it is giving same results. The issue I reported was for non-Base14 font. You are using Arial which is Base14 font and FOP has full support for these kinds of fonts. Well as you said, I tried same functionality with Arial font also and found same issue in different form. Original Arabic text - هذا تعليق الاختبار. تتم كتابة الكلمات بشكل صحيح PDF Arabic text - ھذا تعلیق الاختبار. تتم كتابة الكلمات بشكل صحیح If I compare PDF and MS-Word files, it looks exactly similar but when I copy it to an editor(Font supported), the words look different (Glyphs are missing). You can check the above text. Why am I loosing text while doing copy/paste? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org

You can check the above text. Why am I loosing text while doing copy/paste? One thing to keep in mind is that some fonts do not include entries in the CMAP table for all glyphs that can be referenced by performing the character to glyph transformation process. In this case FOP, synthesizes a CMAP entry which is used in the embedded font, where this entry uses a dynamically generated Unicode value in the PUA (private use area). This latter is necessary since PDF requires specifying *some* character code (and not glyph index directly) when performing text drawing. If you then attempt to copy this text and paste into another editor that isn't aware of this dynamic mapping using the embedded font's CMAP, then you may lose that mapping information. One possible way to fix this, which I haven't investigated in detail, is to provide a separately encoding Unicode string that contains the original, pre-transformed text, and associate this string with the displayed post-transformed character string that may contain these dynamic PUA characters. The PDF viewer would then need to make use of the pre-transformed string when performing copy operations. However, I haven't researched this to see if PDF supports. Anyway, I suspect this is what is causing your problem. I've opened a bug on this at [1]. [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2204
Re: Fwd: FOP 1.1 - Unable to copy/paste text is not working
The two lines look the same to me. Maybe you copied and pasted the same content twice? The only reason I suggested Arial was because I didn't have your font and I know Arial has Arabic glyphs and it is known by all text editors. If you use a text editor (say, openoffice) and export to PDF are you then able to copy and paste from that PDF? If so, can you send that PDF and the one generated by FOP (with full embedding) so that we can compare them? On 1/30/13 1:44 PM, Neeraj wrote: Hi Luis, Thanks for reply.

Re: Fwd: FOP 1.1 - Unable to copy/paste text is not working
does your editor know about the font you are using? if you highlight the text in the editor and set the font to Arial do you see any glyph? I tried your example but with Arial, copied and pasted to OpenOffice and I am able to see the glyphs. now, not that this makes a difference for your problem, are you sure the output file you sent was generated with the fop.xconf you sent? in your conf file you have embedding mode full but in the output file it is being subset.
