Can Saffron embed TrueType fonts in PDF?
Saffron by default embeds all symbolic TrueType fonts used in the document but it doesn’t embed normal TrueType fonts by default in the PDF File. Saffron at runtime takes an option which when set it embeds all the TrueType fonts used by the document, provided the font is available on the system on which Saffron is running.

What is the ORB required on the client side?
Saffron is tested and works with JacORB v1.4.1, which is distributed along with Saffron Workgroup. The Server is configured to use JacORB v1.4.1.

What JRE is required for Saffron?
Saffron Server runs in Sun’s JRE 1.4. We recommend Sun’s JRE 1.4 or higher on the client side, but the CORBA client can also run in Sun’s JRE 1.3.

What PostScript can Saffron accept?
Saffron only accepts the PostScript generated from Dynalivery’s PostScript driver. Saffron Workgroup sets up a printer called “SaffronDesktop Printer” on Windows machines. When an application prints to this printer it displays a dialog box asking for the PostScript file name, in which the resulting PostScript is stored.

Over time, Dynalivery will remove these limitations and Saffron will accept arbitrary PostScript.

Why is the Text overlapping or getting truncated in SVG Files?
Saffron takes an option called “useCSS” for SVG, which when set should show the text properly.
