converting a pdf with japanese fonts

[time]

Hi,
I am trying to convert a pdf that has japanese in it into a jpg under windows 2003 server.
The pdf has some cid fonts
I looked at the pdf doc's property. Thefollowing is an example font in it:

MS-PGothic
Type: TrueType (CID)
Encoding: Identity-H
Acutal Font: MSPGothic
Actual Font Type: TrueType

I ran the following
Q:\PDFTools\test2\convert Q:\PDFTools\test3\36746514.pdf[0] Q:\PDFTools\test3\36746514.jpg

and got this error message:

I downloaded and installed the Japanese Font support for Adobe acrobat and can view the pdf with acrobat, but i keep getting this error with ImageMagick's convert utility.
Anybody know how i can fix this?

[anthony]

It isn't IM that needs to be fixed, but ghostscript that IM calls to convert PDF to some image format. It is also the source of the errors you are seeing.

Try
gs Q:\PDFTools\test3\36746514.pdf
to see the ghostscript output directly (on screen) return in the terminal window goes to next page.

When i try to open the pdf document with ghostscript.
This is the error I am getting.
Why is it not able to find MS-Mincho? I have the font installed.
How does it know which font (Adobe-Japan1) to substitute for?

Time!
Fedora 11...same problem

1) installed Japanese-support
yum groupinstall japanese-support

2) downloaded fonts from here
http://www.linux.ryukent.co.uk/show.php?id=24
That gives you MS-Mincho and MS Gothic (Microsoft TryeType fonts)

3) then I found a conf.d directory with cidfmap.ja file where you can specify the substitution font Adobe-Japan1 and Adobe-Japan2

Code: Select all

/MSGothic  << /FileType /TrueType /Path (/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msjapanesefonts/MSGOTHIC.TTF) /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
/MSMincho << /FileType /TrueType /Path (/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msjapanesefonts/MSMINCHO.TTF) /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;

/Adobe-Japan1           /MSGothic ;
/Adobe-Japan2           /MSGothic ;

that was it, gs would not complain about not finding a source

[anthony]

GS does not use true type fonts! It uses postscript fonts.

[white_raven]

you can kinda force it to use TryeType
example

Code: Select all

% comment out MSGothic 
%/MSGothic  << /FileType /TrueType /Path (/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msjapanesefonts/MSGOTHIC.TTF) /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
/MSMincho << /FileType /TrueType /Path (/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msjapanesefonts/MSMINCHO.TTF) /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
% lets use Arial Narrow instead of MSGothic or MSMincho
/MSArialn              << /FileType /TrueType /Path (/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msjapanesefonts/ARIALN.TTF) /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
% sub font for MSGothic is now MSArialn - we still need to have MSGothic or gs will complain 
/MSGothic               /MSArialn ;

/Adobe-Japan1           /MSGothic ;
/Adobe-Japan2           /MSGothic ;

Worked for me, finally I have good looking conversion for Japanese pdfs

Hi,

I'm having a similar error while converting a pdf file. I have tried various ways to fix it but I must have done something wrong. The problem just cannot be fixed. Can you tell me the detailed step of doing this? I have added the entry in cidfmap file but things just won't work. Thanks!

/TimesNewRoman << /FileType /TrueType /Path (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/times.ttf) /SubfontID 0 /CSI [(Unicode) 0] >> ;

gs myfile.pdf
