Embed fonts in a Photoshop document?

A friend has sent me a photoshop document to work on but i dont have all the fonts he does. Its a pain trying to find and download them all.
Is there a way of embedding fonts in a document so he could send me the file and I could edit the text?
I guess this isn't a photoshop question but if he sends me the fonts I need from his font folder in his library, should that work?
thanks a lot
James

In theory he could send you those fonts as long as you delete them after working on his job.
Edit:
I write this because of all the Service Bureaus that you give your fonts to for output I realize that with submitting PDFs this becomes unnecessary.
As long as he uses the fonts only on that one job, especially if they were bought for that job does it matter who does the work?
they would need to be deleted after the work was completed, just like at a Service Bureau.

  • 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.

  • Font size in Photoshop document looks larger than it should be?

    I am designing a web site in Photoshop. No matter what font I use, the size looks too big. For example, I have to make my font size 6px in my photoshop document even though the actual font size i'm going to use on the website is 11px. My document size is 1024px by 768px. I am viewing at 100% and my screen resolution is set to 72 px/in. I have asked my instructor and he doesn't have this problem but doesn't know how to fix mine. Is there something in my preference i should change? I would really like to be able to use the actual font size in my document as I would for my actual site.
    Also, this happens in both of my PC and the Mac at school. Let me know if there are other information I need to say. Thank you in advance!

    Aside from what Noel said, keep in mind that font size covers the em box of a font, meaning its maximum upper and lower height, not just the visible content and that that relation is different for each font. In order to e.g. produce a 11px high glyph on a 72dpi device, the actual font may be designed with 14pt in mind and you will have to use that size.

  • Embed fonts using the Edit Document Text tool

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7c75.w.h tml

    Thanks Steve.  I guess it shouldn't be a problem then.  Both of the documents would have been created by aperture and therefore be of the same resolution to start with.
    One more question if I might:  I'm test-driving Acrobat Pro (don't know much about it yet).  I've been using Acrobat standard for simple things like adding/replacing pages.  Would Acrobat standard save at the same quality of the original document or is there some loss of quality there versus using Acrobat Pro?
    Thanks again,

  • Can't seem to insert a copyright symbol from any font into a Photoshop document

    - NOT a meta data question --
    I merely want to insert a copyright symbol, in text. I am designing the reverse side of a postcard for printing, it is all text layers, and need to indicate a copyright.
    I can not seem to find this symbol in any of the character sets of the multitudinous fonts I own. Nor have I found any easy way to see the character sets of these fonts. Must I create this as an image and import? Surely there is a more simple solution?
    At this point, I will accept the symbol in any font whatsoever.
    Thank you!

    Also open International Pref Pane. Check "Show input menu in menu bar" at bottom of the Input Menu tab window. Among the keyboard layouts, input methods and palettes turn on the Character Palett and Keyboard Viewer. Now they will be available from a menu extra near the clock.

  • Embed fonts late in existing PDF-document

    Hello,
    I already searched for hours to find a way to embed fonts in existing pdf-documents.
    I tryed it in these ways:
         1. Creating a PS-file out of the PDF-file and the creating a PDF-file out of the PS-file --> it doesn't work, because the PS-file can not be created
         2. editing the PDF-file via the adobe sdk wich is installed whith the AdobeAcrobatStandard9 --> I don't find a way to set the fonts to embedded
    I now that it is possible to embed the fonts while open the pdf-document manually and edit it with the TouchUp-Tool. But this way we can not handle, because we need to edit thousands of documents. So we need a solution wich works as a CommandLine-Tool or so.
    I hope anyone have an idea and can help me
    Thanks a lot
    Clemens

    Acrobat 9 Standard does not have the capability.  It is, however,
    available as part of Acrobat 9 Professional.  That solution can also be
    used as part of a Batch Process to address your volume needs.
    There are no command line options available.
    Also, don't forget that Acrobat can NOT be used on a server...

  • How to embed fonts in document for all users

    Hello,
    we are using a custom font for our documents. I know it's possible to embed fonts in document when saving.
    Is there an option to enforce this setting with a policy?
    I cannot find the right policy in the Office Policy templates.
    We are using Office 2013 x86.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, the option is document-based, we can't control this on the Policy level.
    If your request is to turn on this option for all new created documents. Since all new documents are based on the Normal.dotm template, a workaround is to create a new Normal.dotm template in which this option is checked:
    Browse to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates, open Normal.dotm, tick the option and save it as Normal_1.dotm, save it in the same location.
    Then rename the old Normal.dotm to Normal.old, rename Normal_1.dotm to Normal.dotm.
    Open Word and create a new blank document, you will see this option is ticked.
    To deploy this file for all users, we can write a startup script. The process is like: 1. Remove the old Normal.dotm, 2. Copy the new Normal.dotm template from a network shared location to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.
    I hope the information is helpful to you.

  • How to embed fonts in an existing pdf document

    PDF Documents I am creating and emailing to my clients are showing up missing bargraps and text. I suspect embedding is not working. Is it possible or even needed to embed fonts in an existing pdf document? Or, is that done during pdf creation? -MikeT

    You'd want embedded fonts with your PDFs so as to assure fidelity of your content.
    If my local machine does not have the font used in the PDF what I view may be / can be something "off" from what you mastered.
    Perhaps squares instead of language characters.
    Distiller job options such as High Quality Print or Press Quality embed fonts (Standard does not).
    For a PDF that does not have embedded fonts a Preflight Fixup can be used to embed fonts (even one for hidden text from Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact) OCR output).
    Need Acrobat 9 Pro or Pro Extended.
    The fonts must be on the local machine and "known" to the OS.
    The fonts must have no license restriction(s) that preclude embedding.

  • Use of fonts embedded in photoshop for commerical use? (Static content, like images)

    Hello.
    I am developing a Mobile game for Android, and I can't stop thinking about if i am in the clear when it comes to the use of fonts. I've searched the web, but can't really find a clear answer.
    I am using only font embedded in photoshop/illustrator, and only displaying them in static content, such as Images/logos. So my question is, am I in the clear, or do I need som kind for special license for this?
    FYI I am mostly using the MonoType Impact font. I stumbled over this though, its Monotypes Imaging EULA for fonts ( I think). It says :
    You may embed static graphic images into an electronic document, including a Commercial Product, (for example, a "gif") with a representation of a typeface and typographic design or ornament created with the Font Software as long as such images are not used as a replacement for Font Software, i.e. as long as the representations do not correspond to individual glyphs of the Font Software and may not be individually addressed by the document to render such designs and ornaments.
    Would appreciate any help, thanks!

    you can access them from <bpelx:exec> activity and you can pass these returned document to underlying java class.

  • Embedding fonts in Bridge (Photoshop CS5)

    Hi folks!
    I'm sorry for posting but I still have trouble with creating PDF via Bridge.
    I have sveral PSD-Files (CS5 made) using several image- and textlayers.
    Now I want to create multipage-PDF using Bridge that comes with PS CS5.
    Works fine so far but Bridge does not embed those fonts used in the PSD!
    Seems to me Bridge just merges all layers to one pixelbased image and saves it in PDF-format.
    But that's no good deal!
    In CS2 there was a much better solution in PS2 allowing to create multipaged PDF with embedded fonts.
    Is there any chance to embed fonts with Bridge?
    Plz don't tell me to use Acrobat or InDesign because I'm only using PS CS5.
    Thx!

  • How to embed fonts AND keep bookmarks?

    Hello, newbie here.
    I use MS Sql Server Reporting Services to generate a lengthy report, often over 100 pages. The report must be distributed as a PDF, and it must use some slightly unusual fonts, and it needs bookmarks. Reporting Services has a PDF rendering engine which can insert the bookmarks, but it cannot embed fonts (I'm using Visual Studio 2005).
    So after some investigation, I saw that I can embed fonts by converting the PDF to a Postscript (PS) file, then use Distiller to re-create the PDF with embedded fonts. A bit clumsy, but it works, EXCEPT that apparently the conversion to PS removes the bookmarks.
    So I am guessing that I'm going about this all wrong, and am hoping some one here can show me a better way. Oh yes, I have Acrobat 9 Pro and Distiller 9.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    You may be overcomplicating this. Hopefully, depending on which SQL report writer you use, you can configure it to embed fonts or at least a subset of the fonts at the time of the report generation. I have never had much luck with it outputting bookmarks so if you have mastered that, you have me beat. I took a section from my SQL report help on embedding fonts and and plagiarizing and pasting it below:
    Font Embedding
    When possible, the PDF rendering extension embeds the subset of each font that is needed to display the report in the PDF file. Fonts that are used in the report must be installed on the report server. When the report server generates a report in PDF format, it uses the information stored in the font referenced by the report to create character mappings within the PDF file. If the referenced font is not installed on the report server, the resulting PDF file might not contain the correct mappings and might not display correctly when viewed.
    Fonts are embedded in the PDF file when the following conditions apply:
    Font embedding privileges are granted by the font author. Installed fonts include a property that indicates whether the font author intends to allow embedding a font in a document. If the property value is EMBED_NOEMBEDDING, the font is not embedded in the PDF file. For more information, see "TTGetEmbeddingType" on msdn.microsoft.com.
    The Font is TrueType.
    The characters in the string that has the Font property set are Unicode, not ANSI. No font embedding occurs for ANSI characters.
    Fonts are referenced by visible items in a report. If a font is referenced by an item that has the Hidden property set to True, the font is not needed to display rendered data and will not be included in the file. Fonts are embedded only when they are needed to display the rendered report data.
    If all of these conditions are met for a font, the font is embedded in the PDF file. If one or more of these conditions is not met, the font is not embedded in the PDF file.
    Fonts on the Client Computer
    When a font is embedded in the PDF file, the computer that is used to view the report (the client computer) does not need to have the font installed for the report to display correctly.
    When a font is not embedded in the PDF file, the client computer must have the correct font installed for the report to display correctly. If the font is not installed on the client computer, the PDF file displays a question mark character (?) for unsupported characters.
    Verifying Fonts in a PDF File
    The fonts that are embedded in the PDF file are included in the Fonts property that is saved with the file, as metadata.
    To check if the font is embedded go to File/Properties/Fonts and see the status of the fonts, if they say embedded or subset embedded you are all set.
    lt me know where your process lets you down and I can try to help from there.

  • How to Embed Fonts and make Grayscale in Acrobat Pro 9 PDF

    I supplied my printer with a PDF but he says that I need to "Embed The Fonts" in the PDF.
    I made the original document in MS WORD and then I created the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 but nowhere
    along the way did I see anything that asked me to Embed The Fonts.
    He also says that the type is in RGB but it needs to be in Grayscale.
    When I created the PDF I didn't see any option along the way that gave me a choice between
    RGB and Grayscale.
    Any ideas how to achieve these two effects while going from an MS WORD document to a PDF using
    Acrobat Pro 9 please?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sorry to bother you with my problem but I wondered if you could explain a little bit more about things I didn't understand.
    1 - you said > On a Mac there is no advantage to using the Word plug-in.
    Do you mean that I can type directly into Acrobat?
    I thought that a document needed to be created in a word processor first before I could turn it into a PDF.
    Is that incorrect then?
    2 - > Create the pdf file a print file menu gives you greater control.
    I do apologize but I did not understand this statement either, could you please expand on it a little (to a non-techie.)
    3 - > If you use the Press job option setting, the fonts will be embedded.
    I can't find Press job option setting anywhere - I am using Acrobat pro 9 but there doesn't seem to be a menu with Press
    anywhere, could you please expand on this a little bit too please.
    4 - > If the pdf file has already been created it can be converted to greyscale using the Preflight or Convert Colors
    under Advanced -> Print Production.
    I understood this part and I executed it according to your instructions so thank you for that.
    Unfortunately I couldn't find out how to embed my fonts and my printer charged me $75 to do that
    so I was pretty upset about not being able to understand that part of your explanation.
    Since the printer was able to embed the fonts in a document that was already a PDF then it must be possible
    to embed fonts after a PDF has been created, is that correct?
    If that is correct then i don't know how I could not find how to do it because I looked everywhere for that
    ability but I could not find how to do it.
    I'd be very grateful for any further help you could give, thank you.

  • How to embed fonts in PDF Pack (Adobe X)

    I watched a video that showed a "preflight" button in the tool dropdown... I have to embed the Times New Roman font in  a document, but cannot figure out how.....

    The PDF Pack online subscription services Does Not Come With Acrobat (the desktop application).
    As mentioned you must have Acrobat XI Pro in order to run a Preflight that will embed fonts.
    Note that at Adobe's Acrobat product web pages you an make use of the link to download/install the free fully functional 30-day trial of Acrobat XI Pro.
    But -- if all you have is Adobe Reader and a subscription to PDF Pack you have no means of embedding fonts.

  • PDF printing failing to embed fonts

    I am an IT administrator over multiple machines each having various versions of acrobat (pro, std, 7, 8, 9, etc.).  We have a standard job options settings for all machines which forces embedding all fonts used in a document. We do this for compatibility with government entities (they refuse documents having font references without the embedding).  We recently transferred an employee to another machine and setup ver 7 pro on her machine, as she had on her prior machine.  We transferred all her different fonts to the new machine as well.
    When she now prints to the adobe print driver using the embedding job options we use on other machines, the resulting PDF contains references to Times Roman and Helvetica (without embedding) showing substituted fonts (which have been embedded).  I understand that without having the fonts on her machine they will never embed, however on her previous machine and other machines in the office the PDF printer merely removes the references and embeds the substitute fonts, giving us a compatible PDF with all embedded fonts.
    All the machines are using the same job options, so what setting am I missing that is causing this one machine to refuse to completely substitute the fonts and change the references to reflect only on the fonts which are embedded?  Where else are the fonts given instruction on embedding/substituting?
    I should mention, just in case, that these are all windows xp pro machines. Also worth noting: this behavior has occured on this machine with ver 7 std as well as pro, and I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled acrobat to no effect.

    Ok, good suggestions I did try the distiller default options before.
    More details:
    She is printing a form fillable PDF from her browser. (I have recreated the steps exactly and shown different results on 3 computers with 2 properly embeded).
    I have also taken the improperly embedded file and run it through another machine resulting in a properly embedded setup (replacing the non-local fonts with their substitutes without reference to original fonts and embedding the substituted fonts).
    Thanks
