To generate PDFs, you must configure Metadata Manager to use fonts that can represent multibyte characters in another language. For example, the default font for Metadata Manager is Verdana, which cannot represent Japanese characters.

Metadata Manager uses the font information in a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file when it creates PDFs. By default, Metadata Manager uses publish.css in the following location:

<Informatica installation directory>\services\MetadataManagerService\mmapps\mm\css

To configure the fonts for Metadata Manager, complete the following steps:

Open publish.css in a text editor and change the value of all font-family properties for all style declarations to a compatible font family. For example, for Japanese, make the following change:

<style declaration> {
...
font-family:Arial Unicode MS;
...
}

You can enter multiple font names, separated by commas. In general, Metadata Manager will use the first font in the font family when you export to PDF and all fonts when you export to HTML.

Save publish.css.

Verify that the Java Run-time Environment (JRE) for Metadata Manager uses the locale of the language you want to generate the PDF in. Typically, the JRE uses the locale of the machine it runs on.

Optionally, add the property PDF.Font.MultibyteList=<font names> to the imm.properties file. You can also enter multiple font names, separated by commas.

If you modify imm.properties, you must disable and enable the Metadata Manager Service for the change to take effect.
