Hi everyone,
I am following the PAH instructions for using the XML config file to set the font settings in our PAH PDFs, but I am not seeing any results! Still getting same font in my return that doesn't seem to be specified anywhere...
Currently, the XML in the file is as follows:
<FontSettings>
<!--global defaults--> <add key="_FontFamily" value="TimesRoman"/> <add key="_FontSize" value="12"/>
</FontSettings>
with appSettings "USE_LABEL" key with a value of "true"
But no change! I also tried specifying the PDF Template (ex. "2179_FontFamily" instead of "_FontFamily") and still no change.
Also probably worth nothing that if our appSettings USE_LABEL key is set to "false", the PDF does not respect the settings in the Adobe file.
Any advice? Thank you!

This was quite fiddly to set up, and didn't work for us until we set per-field, perf-PDF settings, e.g. here are our values for one PAH ticket design PDF:
<!-- pdf 2207 -->
<!-- perf dt -->
<add key="2207_6647_FontFamily" value="Helvetica" />
<add key="2207_6647_FontSize" value="16" />
<!-- perf desc -->
<add key="2207_6649_FontFamily" value="Helvetica" />
<add key="2207_6649_FontSize" value="12" />
<!-- Salutation1 -->
<add key="2207_6651_FontFamily" value="Helvetica" />
<add key="2207_6651_FontSize" value="12" />
<!-- Order No -->
<add key="2207_6655_FontFamily" value="Helvetica" />
<add key="2207_6655_FontSize" value="9" />
<!-- Customer Number -->
<add key="2207_6652_FontFamily" value="Helvetica" />
<add key="2207_6652_FontSize" value="9" />
<!-- Base Price -->
<add key="2207_6667_FontFamily" value="Helvetica" />
<add key="2207_6667_FontSize" value="9" />
<!-- Ticket No -->
<add key="2207_6659_FontFamily" value="Helvetica" />
<add key="2207_6659_FontSize" value="9" />
hi Chris - thanks for your response! So to be clear, you set font and size for each dynamic element on the PDF template?
and then, i'm a little confused by the directions - above that, do you ALSO need to have a global config setting and a per PDF config setting? or is what you have provided the extent of your formatting?
thank you!!

Yes. Each dynamic element in each PDF, just like the example I pasted in.

Within the FontSettings we have a global default, and one per-PDF setting, but I don't think they're ever used, e.g. the one per-PDF entry is for a PDF that doesn't exist.
The (very lengthy) per-PDF, per-element settings were what did the trick for us.
Hi Guys
You can also set the Use Label value in the font settings. This will then use the formatting from the PDF document rather than the default font.
<add key="USE_LABEL" value="false"/>
Thanks
Nick
So I feel really goofy asking this question but I'm fresh into the position of Tessi Database Manger and I'm really learning as I go. I'm trying to do the font fix for Mac devices and I seriously cannot find the TIM. I know what I need to do when I find it to apply the fix but I just cannot figure out how to get started. Please help!
Hi David,
TIM is included in the installation package downloadable from TASK. It is fairly typical to keep these files and other administration-related ones on a fileshare somewhere on your network.
