Description rblackeagle 2003-07-16 02:08:40 UTC 
When printing a three-fold brochure (using the template on oooextras) to PDF,
the resulting file is unreadable by Acrobat Reader 5.0.  It gives an error 101
with no content.

The attachment includes three .sxd draw objects and an inserted
graphic.  If I leave the draw objects out, it exports the document
correctly as a pdf.  If I leave them in, it fails to make a readable
pdf file.  The inserted graphic is exported correctly.

The problem is the "Calligrapher Regular" font; its PS-Name literally
contains a space which is a no-no by Adobe's definition. Without the
the font itself i cannot say whether the problem is in the font itself
(a wrong psname entry in the OS/2 table of the font) or whether it
does not have a PS-name at all in which case we generate one out of
the family name. The fix is easy though; i can replace every space
with a '-' and all's well.
Comment 6 thorsten.ziehm 2003-07-16 16:27:44 UTC 
This should be fixed for OOo 1.1. But this is not priority 2 it is
only P3.
Comment 7 rblackeagle 2003-07-16 17:46:23 UTC 
I think you solved my problem.  I will be careful to select fonts
without spaces in their names for documents to be exported to PDF. I
would then consider it fixed if this will be fixed by 1.1.

Comment 9 philipp.lohmann 2003-07-16 20:08:40 UTC 
Thanks for the font to test. It really contains a PSName containing a
space which needs to be encoded; there is an encoding scheme exactly
for that. Ghostscript is a bit more picky about what needs to be
encoded than the standard recommends, so a little more is encoded now
than normally necessary.

fixed in CWS rc3vcl
