How to create PDF without embedded fonts from Indesign

Can anyone tell me how to create from Indesign a PDF that certainly does not contain any fonts I don't want to include? But that would appear in the same layout in a substituted font, including italics and small caps?

You can't, InDesign will embed the fonts for  you.
To unembed fonts you need Acrobat Professional. Go to Tools>Print Production>Pdf Optimiser
go to Fonts
And select the fonts to unembed.
You could select any text and change the Transparency to 99.9%.
Then in Edit>Transparency Flattener make a new one using High as a base for the new
Select Convert Text to Outlines.
When you Export to pdf, choose Adobe PDF 1.3, and go to Flattening, choose the new Flattener Preset that you just made.
And when you export it, any text forced through the Flattener will be converted to outlines. (this could violate the terms of the Font Licencing.)

  • How to export PDF without embedded fonts?

    Hi,
    I'm using CrystalReports with VS2008. I export a report in this way:
    rpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, filename);
    This works fine except it includes the used fonts. A older version of our export tool used Delphi and the vcl component which did not include the fonts. Including the fonts increase the pdf filesize in my case from 21kb to 70kb. Sounds less but the export creates around 1500 pdf on one day.
    Is there a way to export to pdf without embedding the fonts?
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
    No, and it's not all just embedded fonts. After CR 8.5 we converted everything to be UNICODE compliant. So as of CR 9 the size of the files, Printing as well as exporting, increased due to the unicode feature. All characters and bits of the files are now double byte in length with the resulting output being typically 4 or 5 times greater in size ( just a guess ).
    Only option would be to export as usual through CR and then use PDF API's to remove the fonts from the output file and resave the PDF.
    Thank you

  • Can I add some UTF-16 characters(4 bytes, like japanese character) in to PDF,without embedding fonts

    Hi all,
    I have some 4 bytes japanese characters, when I embedding the MSPMincho fonts to PDF file, the characters displays well, but can it works without embedding this fonts?
    Thanks and Regards

    Try this (not tested):
    import oracle.sql.CharacterSet;
    CharacterSet csDB=CharacterSet.make(CharacterSet.ZHS32GB18030);
    int byteLenDB = csDB.convert("your string").length;
    Note, ZHS32GB18030 is currently supported as the client character set only. You should better not define a database with this character set. (See: Database Globalization Support Guide, Table A-9). It looks like we have to clarify this, because DBCA lists ZHS32GB18030 and CREATE DATABASE accepts it.
    The DB character set does not seem to be available through any public API (though it is retrieved and stored internally). You have to query the database.

  • Print PDF without embedded fonts (for USPTO)

    I need to print PDFs that can be uploaded to the US PTO, and for them to be compatible they must not have any embedded fonts. I am using the Acrobat XI Distiller with the configuration file downloaded directly from the PTO website http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/portal/efs/uspto.joboptions, but the fonts are still being embedded. Is there any way to get the PDF distiller to not embed any fonts?

    The .joboptions file that your posting points to very specifically requests that all fonts be embedded, subsetted!!! 
    Thus, if you are using these joboptions to produce PDF, you are getting exactly what the joboptions call for.
    If someplace on the US Patent and Trademark Office website is telling you to not embed fonts and then provides these joboptions, then they are giving you conflicting information! 
    However, searching that website, I found instructions for PDF file creation such as at <EFS-Web PDF Guidelines> and the attached PDF file from the website.
    In fact, the US Patent and Trademark Office absolutely requires that you embed all fonts.

  • How to create PDF of only book from entire IBA file?

    How do I extract a PDF of ONLY the completed book from an unencrypted IBA file (which contains all related materials and is 568 MBs). Existing conversion to PDF methods convert the entire file. Thanks, Cora

    For clarity, when referring to the "actual book" versus the "entire iBA file", do you mean
    (a) actual book: text only
    (b) entire iBA file: resources other than text (eg images, videos)
    When creating a PDF from any kind of document (iBA, Word, etc) you generally get two main options.
    1. To create a PDF from all pages in the file, which of course includes all text, images, videos, audio etc
    2. To print to PDF, which allows you to specify pages. Obviously if the pages you specify also contain images and video for example, they'll come across in the PDF created too. There's no way around that. Images look great. Video just a black area on the page usually - it's static in PDF form afterall :)
    You mention that earlier PDF versions of your book are more in keeping of what you want. My first thought when reading this was that your book now has more resources added to it than earlier stages of development, as one would expect!
    I would suggest trying to be precise in your descriptions of exactly what you want to be included in a PDF copy of a file created in iBA rather than just repeating generic terms in successive posts.
    Hope that helps! :)

  • How to create pdf to be prepopulated from SQL Table

    I am having trouble generating a PDF that will add rows depending on the amount of records in my SQL Table. For example i am trying to generate a billing report on a monthly cycle. The data which i have in the table is for a certain client with a date range from 01/01/2010 - 01/31/2010. I need the table to gennerate rows for 15 different days and all i seem to get is the last record. Here is my Coldfusion Code
    <cfquery name="qBilling" datasource="PrintBilling">
        SELECT *
        From BillingRecord
    </cfquery>
        <cfoutput>
            <cfpdfform action="populate" source="billing.PDF">
                <cfpdfsubform name="Table1">
                    <cfpdfsubform name="Row1">
      <cfloop query="qBilling">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="Batch" value="#qBilling.batch#" index="1">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="Batch" value="#qBilling.batch#" index="2">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="Date" value="#DateFormat(qBilling.date,"mm/dd/yy")#">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="DateRange1" value="#DateFormat(Now(),"mm/dd/yy")#"> 
                            <cfpdfformparam name="DateRange2" value="#DateFormat(Now(),"mm/dd/yy")#">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="Documents" value="33333">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="PBcount" value="1252">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="PBpostage" value="999">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="Paper" value="5555">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="Price" value="1900">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="Rate" value="3.42">
                            <cfpdfformparam name="Type" value="SASAS-SS">
      </cfloop>
                    </cfpdfsubform>
                </cfpdfsubform>
            </cfpdfform>
        </cfoutput>
    The PDF itself is saved as a Static Form only because thats what ive seen as the common problem.
    Any help at all would be VERY much appreciated.

    I would make two summary tables that refers to the main table (the one you are currently sorting) :
    1) the first summarizes by color
    2) the second by model.
    It would be quicker if you can poast a screenshot of the data table and charts you are making so that any  examples are well suited to your specific case.

  • Need to create pdf with thumbnail pages from InDesign

    How can I create a pdf with multiple InDesign pages on each sheet (thumbnails)? I have snow leopard, cs6. Thank you.

    On a Mac, the way I like to do it is to start by generating a PDF from INDD. Open the PDF in Apple's "Preview" app. Ctrl+P. There are all sorts of options for layout — including "Pages per Sheet" under the layout option in the menu. Then, at the bottom left-hand of the print dialog box, you'll see the PDF button. After you've made your page-layout decisions, click PDF and choose your options for PDF delivery.
    In the instance documented with the attached graphics, I selected "Mail PDF." The thumbnailed PDF is created and attached to a new email.
    Maybe this helps.

  • How remove embedded font from PDF

    When I print to PDF on Mac OS 10.6.8 by default embed fonts to PDF-file. It add unnecessary bites to PDF-file (the file is huge size).
    How to remove this option of fonts embedding? Or how remove embedded font from PDF file?

    After opening dozens and dozens of linked files,I finally found the offending "empty line of text" in one of the AI files I placed in the INDD file. Open > Select All.... then check the font panel. With mixed fonts, it was empty, but if everything was the correct font, it was filled in. It was just one AI file.
    I want to thank you all for your great ideas and for sharing your experience. Onward, now.

  • Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?

    No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
    find anything that would match...
    I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
    and adjust position.
    Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
    Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
    swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
    http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
    claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
    Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
    3.3 SDK.?
    Thanks in advance

    Draw your text onto a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a Label), then rotate the image.

  • How to get collection of embeded fonts using plugins in acrobat reader?

    I am trying to create a plugin for acrobat reader to display embedded fonts on opened document and will do business logic afterward, but not sure whats the method to get the collection of embedded fonts.
    Please give me example of code snippet how to get collection of embedded fonts of opened document.
    Thanks

    PDDocEnumFonts() will enumerate the fonts in a document for you.  You will have to look at each font to determine if it's embedded or not.
    Don't forget that to build a plugin for Reader, you need a license from Adobe.

  • How to create pdf files with text field data

    how to create pdf files with text field data

    That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
    I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
    I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
    I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
    Any ideas?
