Font-mapping table in ConvertPDF_FontMap.txt

You can set up a font mapping table in the ConvertPDF_FontMap.txt file.

If you add a font-mapping rule to this file, all occurrences of the substituted font are changed to the new font when you import a PDF, regardless of the font-mapping table in the Designer.xci file and regardless of whether the substituted font is available on your computer.

The ConvertPDF_FontMap.txt file is located in the installation directory and is empty by default.

Syntax

input_font=LiveCycle Designer ES_font

input_font

The name of the font used in the input PDF file.

LiveCycle Designer ES_font

The name of the font that is installed on your computer.

Asterisk (*)

Wildcard character. For example, the string *Cour* refers to all font names that contain the string Cour. Adding wildcard characters before and after the input_font name accounts for any slight variations in the name of the font in the form.

Question mark (?)

Single-character wildcard.

Example

*Arial*=Arial

*Helv*=Arial

*Cour*=Courier New

*=Times New Roman

Processing occurs in the same order as in the file. The last line in the example converts all remaining fonts to Times New Roman.
