Missing Glyph Error

[Blake Norwood]

Just wanted to put this out there in case anyone runs into it like we have in the past. The error below can be caused by the USPS4CB font from the post office used in IMB's. When that field is tagged with XMPie and populates, there is no error. But if you have it as part of a standard address block, and don't populate that field, you will get a compliance error.

"The operation was canceled due to PDF standards compliance error. Please consult support for further investigation. This error might have occurred because of a missing font or a missing glyph character."

That's why we stopped using font based barcodes and use the graphic barcode function native to XMPie. Default size is perfect USPS spec too.

How did you fix this issue? We just ran into this, can you create the barcode in UPlan instead of using a font?

[Blake Norwood]

If you're just trying to proof the file to the client, what we do is change that text to use Arial (or whatever other standard font) to create the proof, then change it back for the print file once you have data.

Example: XMPBarcode ("USPSIntelligentMail", |->[USPS_digits])

If I know the same document might also use NCOA addresses or short runs later I will wrap it in a 

If (isnull(|->[USPS_digits]))

""

else

XMPBarcode ("USPSIntelligentMail", |->[USPS_digits])

I will put text wrap around the image so when it disappears, the address moves up. I am usually centering on a 2D barcode for internal checks so it keeps everything inline.

Apply this to a graphic ador as it does generate an image. The nice thing about this is the image created is dead on to USPS spec. No funky tracking or playing with fonts sizes. Perfect every time!

cheers,

Bob
