I have AlivePDF with Flex, making a webapp. I've got version 1.5 of AlivePDF but can't seem to set the font:
myPDF.setFont( FontFamily.ARIAL, Style.BOLD );
this gives an error of "1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type int." Am I doing it wrong?
I'm trying to embed a font in my project by using url("font.ttf") rather than local("Font Name"), but it doesn't seem to pick it up. The font in question is called "Gotham Bold". When i view the details of the font, the font weight is regular, however when i use local("Gotham Bold") in the css i have to specify fontWeight: bold or else it wont pick it up. But when I use url("folderGotham-Bold.ttf"), and specify fontWeight: bold, it says that font weight is not found for that TTF. If i remove the fontweight, there's no errors, but the font is not applied to the text.
View 2 RepliesI have a flex component, a VBox, that has content inside it. Text components mainly.The VBox is holding a report that I want to be able to save to PDF. I am using AlivePdf to achieve this but the PDF produced is blank when viewed in Adobe reader (latest version).When I open the PDF in Notepad++ I can see that there is definitely content in there and the file appears to be structured correctly.This is the method I am using to generate the PDF:
private function doPrint(whatToPrint:UIComponent):void
{
var printPDF:PDF = new PDF( Orientation.LANDSCAPE, Unit.MM, Size.A4 );[code].....
I need to export charts and data tables to pdf file in flex application.For this we can user AlivePDF but i need to export to local not server.Can we export to local system prompting user to select the location to export?
View 2 RepliesI'm testing alivePDF 0.1.5 and till now everything's been fine. I'm super interested in the new function writeFlashHTMLText() cause it makes my life so much easier! xD I'm now trying to display the generated pdf in a browser tab/window instead of just saving the file (using the filereference class' save function). I saw that there was a PDF.save() function that allowed that specifying the argument Download.INLINE. However I don't want to use the save function of the pdf class cause I don't want to use a script.

I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf. I am taking the image inside a canvas. How do I control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that I take.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to use AlivePDF to save a chart into a .pdf file. However, when I try to save my chart, it ends up clipping half of the chart in the pdf so it isn't even fully visible. It seems that the screencapture that AlivePDF took to generate my pdf was too small.I am trying to get a chart from a sample to work with sample code for using alivepdf that I picked off the web.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flex 4. I'm trying to apply a embedded font in all Alert components of the application, to get the same style that all the app, of course. I code in my CSS file:
[Code]...
The font-family worked to all componentes, but not to the Alert component. In alert the text message and title got unvisible. If I change to other font-family it works correctly, just the embedded font doesn't work on Alert component. Anyone got this problem? Obs: The embedded font worked in all the app, just the Alert no.
In my application I'm using a custom embedded font for English (Helvetica New) which does not contain characters (glyphs) for chinese unicode range. In the application, wherver chinese characters are avaiable they are not displayed (suppressed) since they are missing in the custom embedded font. How can I make the flash player to use a fallback system font for the missing characters? And the fallback should be for the missing characters alone. For the Engligh characters it should use the embedded font.

View 3 Repliesadding the grid to a pdf with some other elements on there as well.text is not showing up in some cases. I've tested myself silly on the computers i own but there doesnt seem to be a problem.However, the person i made this for keeps saying text doesnt show up. I've seen the results of his instance of this tool and the keen, trained eye suggests that every row gets stretched out to the bottom (and beyond) of the page. A select all copy paste into plain text app suggests there is no text in the pdf (except for the text that IS showing up)

I am looking for a solution through which I can print the pdf without using any server side technology.
So I'm using AlivePDF to generate a 6 page PDF with a range of text and graphics. It's a fairly large PDF, prob 4mb when saved. I need to be able to pass the PDF along with a few other variables to a PHP script that uploads the PDF and then sends an email.
Because I need to pass the PDF data along with other information, I've been using a standard POST request with URLVariables, only I Base64 encode the PDF ByteArray before sending to avoid any sort of corrupt data. This works fine, except the Base64 encode operation takes ~8 seconds, and sometimes longer on a slower machine, causing a timeout.
I have created a style in which i am defining a font family.When i apply this style to label it reflects the font were as there is no change when it is applied to a spark button.I Tried various way to Apply font style but it doesn't work.Other properties work fine except font family. Even i tried creating skin class and set the font family style of label in it. While previewing the skin i can see the changes but when i apply it to buttonApproach 1

i've got a few fonts embedded and am using them in my mobile application, and they are all working, except for the ones i try to use for the "ActionBar". They work everywhere else, and substituting "Comic Sans MS" for "titleCGF" changes it to Comic Sans. So why won't it work with my custom fontFamily?

I'd like to assign this font to a TextFormat instance, but as you can see, something is wrong or missing. But what?
In my application, I allow the user to change the font of a text field. They use a combobox component to select the font. Can I change the font of each individual label in the combobox to match the font it is named? Like, Microsoft Word style.
View 2 RepliesI have a strange issue where a dynamic text field will not show a bold version of a font (Gerstner BQ) if the regular version is on the stage in a static text field.Remove the static text field and the dynamic text field displays the bold font correctlyI have created a test FLA to reproduce this and by turning the layer with the static text field on and off (Publish settings -> Flash -> include hidden layers [unchecked]), the issue is quite clearhis issue is so big for me that I have had to abandon a project in CS5 and start again in CS4 just to work around this.
View 19 RepliesI have generated an swf file that contains my embedded font of specified Unicode range, then I am loading this swf into my application. The code in the generated file for the font, automatically registers the font using the Font.registerFont method. I then load this swf file into my application, I never add it to the display list, I just created an instance of the file so that the code is executed to register the font.
Then I use the font name when I create embedded text fields and there you go it works... well it used to, I am not having any luck at the moment though. Sometimes it displays fine, other times it all appears cut off and I see a few pixels of the text I am trying to display.... Anyone else had a similar issue? Know what it might be? I have created a class below that I am using for the embedded font text, any issues people see with this?
[Code]...
I am working on a as3 project in which the user select a font from Combo Box and that font SWF should be loaded Dynamically and then i need to change the font of the Dynamic text field.
I have swf font files downloaded from [URL]
My question is that how can i load the font swf dynamically from server and add them to the library and how can i use that swf to change the font of dynamic text field.
if there are embedded fonts in library the i can access them using this- --
var fontList:Array = Font.enumerateFonts();
for( var i:int=0; i<fontList.length; i++ )
{
trace( "font: " + fontList[ i ].fontName );
}
But How to use dynamically loaded Font swf as a font type.
