PdfViewer not showing documents with Identity-H encoding

[Branislav]

Hi,

I am getting pdf files in a byte array form from the MS Reporting Services PDF Rendering Extension 11.0.0.0. Fonts are embeded and everything works fine, but if there are some special characters like letters with apostrophe the document is not displayed. If I save that document and open it with Adobe Reader it looks fine. The only difference that i'm aware of is that this documet has also an embeded subset of type 'TrueType (CID)' with encoding 'Identity-H'. Verdana is the only font in the document. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance

Branislav

Hi Branislav,

We will appreciate it if you can send us a sample document in order to investigate this issue. You may try to open a support ticked and attach the file there.


All the best,

I'm also having issues with Encoding as Identity-H

The PDF looks fine, but on some client desktops they will not print properly unless we have the Fonts Embedded.

Embedding a SubSet increase our PDF file size 10fold and thought would be unnecessary with a universal font like Arial.
5 page report 37KB => 264KB

Is there any PDF Device information setting to change the Encoding to something like Ansi?



Thanks
Steve

Hi Kammen,

I want to change Font encoding from Encoding: Identity-H to Encoding: Ansi, to show few special characters in generated PDF.
I am using Telerik Reportin Q3 2014 8.2.14.1027 build  and deviceInfo["FontEmbedding"] = "Subset";

Is there any property through which we can set font encoding?.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Kumar,

Changing the used in the PDF file encoding is not supported by Telerik Reporting.

You can test using Unicode fonts, or special fonts installed on the client's machine or fully embedded in the PDF document. For more details check the Design Considerations for PDF Rendering article (Font Requirements).


I hope the above information helps you.

Hi Aziz, 

This is a very old post and a lot has changed since then. If you are having issues with a particular file I would suggest opening a new ticket for it. The ticket is a private thread where you can attach the file and we can use it to investigate the issue. The PDF format is complex and it is not obvious what can cause such issues.  

Thank you for your understanding.
