Hello! I have a weird issue. So, I have to PDFs. When I fill form fields in one of them and save, everything looks fine. However, when I append this filled PDF to another one, xpdf doesn't display the values anymore and complains about missing fonts:
Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'ProximaNova-Regular' Syntax Error: Unknown font in field's DA string Syntax Error: Unknown font tag 'ProximaNova-Regular' Syntax Error: Unknown font in field's DA string I'm using JRuby (9k), but I hope it's understandable for you. I put the source & PDFs in this gist: https://gist.github.com/iGEL/a8484f0bc44b03fa9de1 (Will delete it later, once the issue is solved) Other specs: pdfbox-app-1.8.10, openjdk 1.8.0_66, Debian Jessy inside of Docker As you can see, I use a special way to set the values. I had problems with German umlauts using setValue and it also sometimes fails (Possibly related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1550, the message is the same as in that bug) The COVER_PAGE.pdf and BIW_FORM.pdf are the templates I'm using, form_filled.pdf is just the BIW_FORM.pdf with 2 fields filled and merged is COVER_PAGE.pdf and form_filled.pdf merged together. The p in line 15 and 22 print out the DA value of the field and it's the same for both files: "/ProximaNova-Regular 9 Tf 0.019 0.305 0.627 rg" # form_filled.pdf "/ProximaNova-Regular 9 Tf 0.019 0.305 0.627 rg" # merged.pdf This font is according to pdffonts in both files: $ pdffonts form_filled.pdf name type encoding emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- --------- NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C Custom yes yes yes 124 0 *MHGLSX+ProximaNova-Regular Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 125 0* NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C Custom yes yes yes 126 0 MHGLSX+Facit-Bold Type 1C Custom yes yes yes 127 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 218 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 219 0 ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C (OT) Custom yes no no 8 0 ProximaNova-Light Type 1C (OT) Custom yes no no 9 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 251 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 252 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 254 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 255 0 FJORTL+ProximaNova-Light CID Type 0C Identity-H yes yes yes 165 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 259 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 260 0 $pdffonts merged.pdf name type encoding emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- --------- AYOVHV+Facit-Bold Type 1C Custom yes yes yes 131 0 AYOVHV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C Custom yes yes yes 132 0 AYOVHV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C Custom yes yes yes 133 0 AYOVHV+ProximaNova-Semibold Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 134 0 ProximaNova-Light Type 1C (OT) Custom yes no no 9 0 AYOVHV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes no 192 0 AYOVHV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes no 193 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C Custom yes yes yes 275 0 *MHGLSX+ProximaNova-Regular Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 276 0* NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C Custom yes yes yes 277 0 MHGLSX+Facit-Bold Type 1C Custom yes yes yes 278 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 437 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 438 0 ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C (OT) Custom yes no no 462 0 ProximaNova-Light Type 1C (OT) Custom yes no no 512 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 500 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 501 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 503 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 504 0 FJORTL+ProximaNova-Light CID Type 0C Identity-H yes yes yes 377 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Bold Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 451 0 NPQRGV+ProximaNova-Light Type 1C WinAnsi yes yes yes 452 0 Why are the field values not showing up and how can I fix that?
