Can I embed fonts in a pdf document?

I wish to publish a Pages document and to do this I need to convert it to pdf and ensure that my fonts can be embedded into the pdf document. I am not sure how to proceed. How do you embed fonts in PDF from Pages 4.1?

Preview does a nice job of embedding fonts. You can open a pdf with non-embedded fonts in Preview and then print->save as pdf creates one with fonts embedded. I had seen this in MacOSX Hints originally and it works for me.
For seeing what fonts are embedded (or not), pdffonts is a very nice utility, which i think now comes with poppler, or you can build from their git.

Can 6i Embed Fonts in PDF?

Is it possible to embed fonts into the PDF outputs created with reports 6i? If so, where is there information on how to do this for 6i?
Thanks,
Kurz

As you say, you cannot generate a PDF directly with the embedded font, but I discovered a trick:
Use the IX library config file to embed the font in the postscript output when reports runs, then convert the postscript into PDF with an embed fonts parameter to ps2pdf or ghostscript:
ps2pdf -dEmbedAllFonts=true reports_output.ps
This will create a PDF with the embeded font, and with the IX library, you can use TTF fonts.
Can this command be executed somehow automatically by pasta or IX after the report finishes?

Can I embed fonts in exported Word docs in 09

As it says. Can I embed fonts in an exported DOC type document, in Pages 09, or 5.2 for that matter?
thanks

No, not in a Word document. If you export to PDF fonts will be embedded.

Change font in a PDF document

Hi there!
I would like to change the font on a PDF document 'cause I have to take out some parts of it (copy into a .doc or similar)
The problem is when I do it, the original font is not recognized by text processor (stranges symbols appear).
I´m trying to change the font in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but I can´t edit It; the programm says that (not exactly, ´cause its in Spanish)
"The font change has not be done because the chosen font and the document´s fonts codification are different and It cant be solved."
Clicking on pdf´s properties, I see these fonts:
R11
R277
R677
All them are "personalize" codification and type 3.
I hope some in this forum could help me, ´cause I really need to extract some text of this PDF for work stuff.
Thank you, and sorry about my bad english...

I see where you can see fonts in Acrobat 9 Pro under Document Properties. But the poster was trying to help guide you in the right direction. Don't be malicious towards people who are here to HELP you.
try reading this document:

and especially this one from adobe's knowledgebase:

hope that helps.

Particular font for entire pdf document

Can i set a particular font for entire pdf document while designing pdf forms in LiveCycle Designer ES?
How can i do it?

Each object has its own settings for font. You can set the object to the font that you want and then drag it back onto the palette. It will ask you to overwrite the current one. As you drag the object back into the drawing area the new font will be used. This is true aof all properties of the object and not just font.
This is useful if you are creating a new form, but if one already exists then the easiest way is to open the XML source (right mouse click on the Design tab and choose XML source. Use the search facility to find all occurances of typeface and chnage each one to the font that you want. Save the XML and then all objects will have the same font.
Make sure that you make a backup of th eform before you play with the XML. There is no undo once the cahnges are committed.

Not embed fonts saving as pdf

Hi everyone
Just a quick question.. before I start to dig myself.
We save our LC design forms in the source format .xdp. When we publish them we select File > saveAs and choose dynamic pdf.
but LC designer will always embed fonts in the pdf. We have to open our pdf in LC designer a remove 'embed font' under File > Form properties (this can only be fone to a pdf, so we need an additional save as ZZZZZZZ).
Question:
Anyone have solution on setting LC designer ud to not embed fonts when saving and xdp to dynamic pdf? is the a config file or registry setting to edit?
help is very welcome

hi Jyske,
What you can do is to add the following line in the .tds (template) files that Livecycle uses:
<?templateDesigner SavePDFWithEmbeddedFonts 0?>
and this just before the closing </template> element in the xml source.
You find these templates in the <Livecycle Designer Installation folder>\EN\Templates

I Need to Embed Fonts in my PDF

Hi,
I am trying to upload a pdf into a website but they say there is an error that's stopping the process from going ahead. Apparently I have to embed the fonts in my pdf first.
I've done quite a bit of online research and found several ways of doing this - none of which seem to be possible to me!
Is there a way that I can embed fonts without having to buy something? I have Adobe Reader, Digital Editions... but I have no idea if I have anything else (Acrobat?). I haven't deliberately bought it, but this is a brand new top-of-the-range, expensive laptop so I don't know if would have already been installed? Windows 8.2 means that it's harder than ever to navigate your way around the computer.
Thank you in advance,
zengirluk

I have Adobe Reader!
I just made a document in word and saved it as a pdf.
I have downloaded the trial version and gone through the steps as described here:
https://lvb.wiwi.hu-berlin.de/doc/embedfonts.pdf
Now about to upload to the website... I'll let you know if it's worked. I have a feeling it won't have because I don't have a printer and didn't print it out. The method described above wanted me to print the document out. However I don't want or need to. I just want to embed the fonts so the website accepts my document!

How can I transfer a docx. or pdf. document of microsoft word to the ipad?

Hello
How can I transfer my docx. and pdf. files using the newest edition of microsoft office word from my Laptop to the program "pages 09"?
It seems that pages can only import doc. files? To convert my files makes no sense because the whole layout will be messed up.
Hope someone can help me with this, or maybe apple is currently working on that behalf

Are you sure your posting this in the appropriate forum? you mention "Pages 09", but this is the iPad pages forum. (I know the link above does not say "IPad", but it is).
If this is on iPad:
Word doesn't open pdf files, only outputs them. Use Goodreader on the ipad to read any pdfs, or other pdf reader that is free.
I just tried opening a docx file on my iPad and it opened fine in Pages. Just had to replace a font that wasn't on the iPad that I apparenlty had used on the document.
If not on iPad:
Desktop Pages opens docx files fine, it did it before MS published the Mac version that saved as docx.
PDF's should open in Preview.

How to embed font into generated PDF?

Hi,
I have an issue with cyrillic fonts in PDF-file, generated from smartform using the following mechanism:
1. Run FM for smartform with ==> getotf = 'X'
2. Perform CONVERT_OTF retrieving result into a XSTRING.
3. Converting xstring content into a table using "cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix).
4. Creating mail to an external internet user with attached pdf ==> using "cl_document_bcs=>create_document..."
Smartform contains cyrillic content, based on HELVCYR (Helvetica cyrillic) font. Application server is based on Windows.
Everything worked well (for months!) for allmost all of the clients of our customer. Of course, some of clients have different OS-es (such as Linux, Mac OS, etc.), and then the problem starts - they doens't view properly the cyrillic content. English content (even numbers, etc.) are properly displayed. We found what fonts are used in the PDF, but my questions are:
1. Is it possible to embed the font into generated PDF-content?
2. If no, is it possible to generate PDF-content non-selectable (i.e. in some image mode) ?
If yes, how to do this?
Or is there any other way to workarround this issue - to be able to display mail with attached PDF-content with cyrillic on different OS-es? It would be better if it is possible without calling external converter...
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ivaylo Mutafchiev

Hello Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
There is no way we can control the fonts in the created PDF / while creating the PDF using the class cl_document_bcs in your PDF creation logic.
You can try some other approach of creating PDF from the Smartforms OTF stream data .
Try using the follosing FM for the PDF creation and sending email:
CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL
SO_OBJECT_SEND
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL_NEW (Try this but this FM still uses the class that you are using currently. But give it a try and see the results)
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Greetson

Is it possible to embed fonts in a pdf without all the tools?

I'm preparing a book manuscript for publication (self-publishing/print-on-demand) -- and trying my best to do it on a shoestring budget of zero.
It's ready to go. I designed the cover with Pages 2.0.2.
The manuscript is in MS Word X for Mac.
But...it looks like I need Adobe tools in order to embed the fonts before uploading.
Anybody know a way around this?
Thanks

If you print to PDF, all fonts that can be embedded are embedded by default.
Some fonts have copyright restrictions, that makes it impossible for Mac OS to embed them. Some print-on-demand services, like Lulu, have had problems with the way Mac OS embeds fonts in the past. I do not know if that is still the case.
You can check which fonts are embedded in the free Adobe Reader.

Incorrect font display in pdf document(web view)

Adobe helpers,
I am encountering a very peculiar problem with incorrect display of fonts in pdf documents when viewed in a web browser. Briefly, the problem typically affects the first page of a pdf document, the font being displayed as an unidentified mix of large and very small, skinny type. Other pages may or may not be affected, and if one back-clicks to the previous page the text often displays the correct font, so the problem is in some (but not all) cases non-persistent. The problem however is resolved completely if I uncheck the 'display pdf in browser' option under edit>preferences in adobe reader. Fonts I use include Arial, Cambria, Franklin Gothic Book, and Garamond; as straight-up pdfs, the documents look fine. FYI, I have Adobe reader X 10.0.1 (Win 7) and 9.0 (Win XP sp3) installed on two different machines. Firefox 3.6 and IE9 are equally at fault. FWIW, all the pdf documents begin life as MS Word or Publisher 2010 documents, which are converted to pdf within these applications before publishing to web. Since I can't control how people choose to view web pdfs, I'm concerned that display of the prone documents is impaired when viewed in a web browser.
Not sure if this is a reader, browser, or distiller problem but this seems a logical place to start looking for answers. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I've also had problems printing with Reader X.
When printing an attachment from an email in Outlook, if I don't open the attachment first, sometimes it doesn't print correctly as everything shows with the following number or letter. Example 12345 will print as "23456" and invoice will show as "jowpjdf". Even if I open the attachment, sometimes it will print the first page ok, but the next pages will "mppl mjlf uijt".
Never had this problem with previous versions.

Cannot Embed font into InDesign PDF

I am on ID CS5 Win7 and when exporting to PDF smallest file size get this message. I bought the font form Comicraft and used it before In Ilustrator without probolem, but this is my first time using the font in InDesign.
Now I am just trying to send a pdf for client review, and can probably find a way to bitmap the pages font. My main concern will be how can I make a pdf-X for final printing?

Comicraft replied back sayng that their fonts can be embedded. I believe my problem is that I converted the font to PC and Fontlab turned that option on by default for a .ttf font. Unfortunately looking into their liscening agreements I cannot convert their fonts to another platform, so will have to convert this ID file over to mac and work on my slower older mac system to finish off this client approved job.
I was surprised to find out that Comicraft allows
Once a design is approved for release I need to send this to a printer to print.
Can I?
Send a copy of a font to a printer only so they can image the file? This is what most all printers request, only very few accept PDF-X.
Embed the font into a PDF, and send the PDF?
Outline the font and send this legally (hate to do this cause file size gets so large, and occasionally I have them do small type changes).
RESPONSE: Any of those options are fine. If you send the fonts, please remind them to delete them when the job is finished.
thanks!
This probably differs per vendor, but wanted to share what I found out.
That's seems in direct contradiction to the information on the FAQ page. I did see on the site that they would sell you a version for the new platform for 20% of your original cost -- I'd opt to get an OpenType version.
