Sage 200 UKI Ideas Portal
Exporting to PDF from report designer does not embed fonts within the PDF, as the library Sage 200 uses does not support none-standard fonts. None-standard fonts are accessible in Report Designer and are rendered correctly in preview windows but when exported, the font is lost. This feature would allow for the use of non-standard fonts, such as Tourus Semibold.
| Idea Benefit | Improved formatting options |
| How do you solve for this problem today? | Use fonts available in Report Designer's library. |
| Product Variant | Sage 200 Professional, Sage 200 Standard |
For clarity, this is because for a PDF to display in a font not installed on the target machine, it needs to be embedded in the document. Exporting to PDF from report designer does not embed fonts within the PDF at present so this is specifically what your request is.
Very important to help keep Sage generated documents inline with company branded guidelines.
