Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 127294
ArialMT font has Symbolic flag in PDF
Last modified: 2017-02-02 09:50:22 UTC
Created attachment 85933 [details] PDF with font with incorrect flag The attached PDF file was submitted to Apache PDFBox https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3620 . It was created by OpenOffice 4.1.1. The font F10 in the acroform part (to be found at object 66 0 o, or logially at Root/AcroForm/Fields/[3]/AP/N/Resources/Font/F10, Root/AcroForm/DR/Font/F10, and others) has the flag 4 in its font descriptor. "4" means "symbolic font". This is wrong, "ArialMT" is not a symbolic font. The flag should be 32, which means it is a non symbolic font. The font flags are found in "9.8.2 Font Descriptor Flags" in the PDF 32000 description. The wrong flag results in bad rendering of the file in Apache PDFBox. Issue 87679 seems to be a similar problem.
Please: 1) attach the original ODF document used to create this PDF 2) provide information about your operating system 3) try to test with latest build 4.1.3
Created attachment 85934 [details] ODF with font with incorrect flag
I have attached the original ODF document used to create the PDF. I downloaded open office version 4.1.3, opened the document with the new version and save it again using it. I exported it to pdf with version 4.1.3 and the same result occured. My os is Windows 8.1 x64
I open your document and use TestFonts http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/testfonts Result: missing font with "Helvetica LT Std" Don't see "ArialMT" inside.
