Replace fonts in PDF files

Posted on

Dear support,

I am very happy with VeryPDF PCLtool convertor. Beside this tool, we now want to use PDF printCMD  to print our invoices. I already have a license.

I have a PCL-file (attached you can find the prfile.prn) and a backgroud (Attached as Meel factuur2.pdf) With this command:
“
pcltool.exe -append 3 -creator "VeryPDF" -producer "VeryPDF"  -title "Factuur / Invoice" -author "VeryPDF" -templateatbottom -template Meel_factuur2.pdf prfile.prn C:\VeryPDF\pdfprint_cmd\temp\MeelFaktuur.pdf
“

That results into the attachment Meelfaktuur057.pdf. Perfect so far.

Now we want to print these PDF files automaticly (in a batch-file), by using PDFPrint.

for %%F in (C:\VeryPDF\pdfprint_cmd\temp\*.pdf) do "C:\pdfprint_cmd\pdfprint.exe" -printer "VeryPDF-Printer" -paper 55 -color 2 "%%F"

With this command I am getting a print towards the VeryPDF-Printer. This is a special printer. We are trying to use this "virtual" VeryPDF-Printer because this is a printer of the ABC company.

This ABC company prints the invoices, fold them, and put them in envelopes and ensure that they are delivered for us.

ABC InvoicePost has to be able to "read" / "scan" the information, some codes etc. When I print my invoices by PDFprintCmd, they are not able to read or scan my invoice-text.

Do you please have any suggestion about how to use pdfprint_Cmd (or together with PCLtool) in a way that makes them able to read / scan some Text on our invoices. They asked me to use a windows-format (windows Font I guess). I think I am using an arial font, but I do not know if this is a right Windows-format or not.

Do you have any ideas to fix this? Thanks a lot!

Greetings
==================================
Thanks for your message, the MeelFaktuur057.pdf file is readable in Adobe Reader, we can also copy the text from this PDF file to notepad, everything is fine in this PDF file.

It seems this is a limitation in ABC product, if possible, you may suggest them to support wide PDF formats.

also, we can provide a custom-build version of PDF Font Replacer software to you at additional cost, this PDF Font Replacer software will able to replace all fonts in MeelFaktuur057.pdf file to Arial font, this may solve this problem to you, if you are interest in this custom-build version of PDF Font Replacer software, please feel free to let us know.

Hello,

Thanks for your quick answers.  I already asked ABC about Wide PDF-format, but i don't have an answer yet.

I hope i understand your comments about Font Replacer. To check if i understand it in the right way, i have a little question: I already intended to send the Arial font in the PCL file (prfile.prn) for the invoice header and the footer partly. Only the body (where the amounts, taxrates etc. are written) of my invoice should be in a Courier font. So I intended to create the biggest part of my invoice in Arial Font . But was the example I send yesterday, really in the  Arial - font as i intended to send?

Or do you perhaps want to use Font Replacer to replace the Courier fonts into Arial.
How about the fontsize: Does FontReplacer also replace everything to one size?

If my "Prfile.prn" does not provide the right Arial Font (for the invoice header/footer)to convert in the PDF file, then I can also try to change the prfile.prn first.  So how Arial was my example really?

Greetings
==================================
Your PDF file doesn’t contain Arial or Courier fonts, you can open your PDF file in Adobe Reader, then you can check the Fonts used in your PDF document easily,

>>Or do you perhaps want to use Font Replacer to replace the Courier fonts into Arial.

Font Replacer will replease all fonts in your PDF file to Arial or Courier, e.g., replace A030-Bol to Arial, replace NumbusMono-Bol to Arial, etc.

>>How about the fontsize: Does FontReplacer also replace everything to one size?

Font Replacer doesn’t change the original font size, it will keep the original font size.

>>If my "Prfile.prn" does not provide the right Arial Font (for the invoice header/footer)to convert  in the PDF file, then I can also try to change the prfile.prn first. So how Arial was my example really?

yes, you can try to change the fonts in "Prfile.prn" first, and convert your PCL file to PDF file and check the fonts again, this may help you on this problem.

Autocad to PDF Converter

AutoCAD DWG/DXF to PDF Converter v2.2 software is fail to convert a DWG file to PDF file

Posted on

Dear Support,

Just purchased your AutoCAD DWG/DXF to PDF Converter v2.2 software. We have following questions for this software,

1.    After each conversion the application has to be restarted otherwise it saves the first converted file.  It does not clear its cache even when the previously converted file is taken from the list.
2.    Although all dwg files are the same version, the conversion returns a blanc page or inserts a blanc page in front of the drawing pages.

Firstly, we had the software installed on a Vista workstation and thought Vista could be causing the problems, so we installed it on a XP workstation, but encountered the same problems.
We would appreciate your feedback and solution as soon as possible, because we have to finish this project this week.

Kind regards,
===============================
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to you, can you please email to us your sample DWG files for test purpose?

VeryPDF
===============================
Thanks for your kind reply. I have attached two drawing files.  The first one is returning a blank page and the second one is converting okay.
===============================
Thanks for your sample DWG files, the "Induction Motor 6 Watt 60MM 36-37.dwg" file can be converted to PDF file properly, please refer to the converted PDF file in attachment.

AutoCAD DWG/DXF to PDF Converter v2.2 software is fail on the "Induction Motor 3 Wat 60MM 34-35.dwg" file, we will research this DWG file shortly, we will let you know as soon as we have any finding on this DWG file, thanks for your patience.

Advanced PDF – Unable to get -q to work on command line

Posted on

Hi there,

I recently downloaded a trial of AdvancedPDF from your website and it works great but I am having problems getting the output PDF file to open at 100% zoom.

I am using the command line: pdftools -i "C:\input.pdf" -o "C:\output.pdf" -q "100"

However, the PDF is still opening at 108%, please can you advise how I fix this?

I am using Adobe Reader X version 10.0.1.

Thanks.
================================
This is a limitation in trial version, the purchased version hasn’t this limitation, please don’t worry about this matter.

Partial conversion in VeryPDF PDF to Word Converter

Posted on

Hello -

I notice that if I open a document converted from a PDF file in Microsoft Word there is a progress bar in Word showing progress in converting the file.
This must mean that VeryPDF PDF-to-Word is converting the file to an intermediate form which Word then converts, not to genuine DOC files.

I have been trying fruitlessly to index "Doc" files made by VeryPDF PDF-to-Word in a third-party search engine (dtSearch) which apparently cannot read these DOC files. Another conversion program, however, can convert them to plaintext files. What is this intermediate form?

Regards
==========================================
Can you please email to us your sample PDF file for checking?

Hello -

I notice that your answer is identical to one that I received some time ago, relating to a different problem. You do not need to send me automated replies - they are no use to me.

I regret that I cannot send you confidential documents that do not belong to me.

My question related to how your software works so that I could understand my problem better. I assume that if VeryPDF PDF-to-Word Converter converts documents to an intermediate form you will know what form this is and can tell me. When I open the DOC file in a text editor or hex editor the text cannot be found. I assume that it contains instructions so that Microsoft Word can convert the PDF file. Is that correct?

Regards
==========================================
Thanks for your message, because we can't check your PDF file, so we can't determine where is wrong easily.

Is your PDF file created from scanner? If yes, you can download mini PDF to Word OCR Converter v3.2 from following web page to try, you can select "OCR PDF file (Language: English)" option to convert your scanned PDF file to editable Word document properly,

PowerPoint to Flash

pptconv image resolutions

Posted on

We have a powerpoint file that has images in it.  It looks great in powerpoint, but after converting to flash the images are very poor quality.  Is there a way to preserve the image quality during conversion?  We are using version 3.0.  The powerpoint is set for 16x9 to match the display.  Here is the command line we are using:

pptconv -width 1366 -height 768 -swfanmi 1 -swfdelay 1 -swfloop 1 -swfloadbar 0 -swfctrolbar 0 c:\master.ppt c:\master.swf

Thanks.
=================================
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to you, this is a known limitation in the current version of VeryPDF PowerPoint to Flash Converter product, we are planning improve the image's quality in the next version of PowerPoint to Flash Converter product, we will let you know after new version is ready, thanks for your patience.
