Embed fonts in keynote?

I've searched every way I can think of, in help, manual here and other forum sites. This would appear to make it certain that keynote cannot embed fonts in a document for portability (as alas, ppt can). Can anyone give me a definitive answer?
I'm forced to do a presentation on an unknown AV setup on the road, with no time or access to import a font or two. So I can use text images (pixel) in slides, but many vector magic tricks are then unusable.

FYI: I have had to help folks who created presentations in Keynote (and/or Powerpoint) on a Mac try to port them successfully for a presentation on a Windows machine and I either recommend an "export" as .pdf file, which automatically embeds the fonts and their correct placement, or if it has a soundtrack, export as a clickable Quicktime movie, which also embeds the fonts.
There are drawbacks to both, but every Windows machine I've encountered has Acrobat, and many now have Quicktime. Acrobat for WIndows/Mac can be presented at Fullscreen and clicked with the spacebar or arrow keys for forward and back. Unfortunately, transitions are knocked out.
Movies in Quicktime can also be played back at Fullscreen, no space bar, but click and arrow keys, but not "all" transitions will come through, plus the Movie size can become enormous for transport.
Just my 2¢.

Is it possible to embed fonts in Keynote theme?

I've created custom theme for Keynote'08 and everything works fine.
My theme uses corporate fonts.
At the moment the theme is distributed with additional font pack and the user have to install both, but I'd like to simplify the theme installation process.

I was thinking about something like adding fonts to theme-files folder,
but well, I can live without this "feature".
Thx Your for the answer.

Embed Fonts in Keynote= PDF

I've created a Keynote presentation in the current version of the application, which uses two non-standard fonts, Chalkboard and Chalkduster. I have exported the presentation to PDF and put it on a web-server so other people can see it. But the fonts defaut to Helvetica or something, on machines which don't have those fonts installed.
Is there any way to embed or render these fonts so that the presentation appears as it does on the originating machine, when it is exported to PDF and viewed via a PDF reader on a Web Browser?

That's very civil of you! But unfortunately, the Keynote version as presented had a number of embedded MP4 movies, so it is much too big to email.
Actually on further investigation, if I create the PDF version and send it from my MacBook to the iMac, the fonts are embedded and do display OK. But, when I uploaded the PDF version (in which the movies were replaced with URLs) to the server via FTP, then the fonts wouldn't render properly in Firefox or Safari, when opened on the iMac. They would default to Arial, although with very odd spacing, which looked terrible.
On this occassion, I will not continue with trouble-shooting as it was a presentation for a very small audience and possibly nobody will even access it, however if I need to repeat this procedure I will look into it further.
FYI if anyone is interested, it was called 'A Brief History of Western Zen', given at the Buddhist Library in Sydney, and the url is http://www.dynamicdata.com.au/pdf/Brief%20History%20of%20Western%20Zen.pdf

Is it possible to embed fonts?

Is it possible to embed fonts into the keynote presentation? That way if the presentation is moved to another computer, the fonts will be the same?
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions, finfin8.
No, Keynote doesn't allow fonts to be embedded into the presentation. If this is text that you aren't going to change, you always have the option of converting it to .pdf using Preview.
Copy the text
Open Preview
Command-N
Save As... PDF
Then drop that PDF into Keynote, position it where your text should be and you don't have to worry about not having that font anymore (though the presentation will still probably throw up an error message stating that it needs it).

Embedding fonts in Keynote file for use on iPad

Is there any way to embed fonts into a Keynote file so they're usable/displayable on Keynote on iPad?
Or, is there a way to download fonts to the iPad?
I'd hate to have to recreate all my presentations with "stock" fonts.
Thanks in advance!

Embed fonts not available error (But they are available sysetm fonts)

Hello!
I tried to search and actually did found some answers regarding font problems, but they did not help. So I am explaining here my problem in hope that someone can help me.
My company bought a HP Xeon X3450 @ 2.8Ghz. @Gb RAM DD3 1333 with Windows 7 64-Bits version Professional.
We installed Adobe CS3 Suite on Windows 7 64-Bits version and the problems with fonts started.
We used to work with XP Professional before this new machine arrived and never had system fonts propblems with Adobe CS3 Suite.
Basically, what happens is:
When I try to open PDF files with embed fonts (system fonts susch as ARIAL for example) the program returns an error saying that the fonts are not installed/available, but checking the C:\windows\fonts, they are there and working fine on Office or other common application such as notepad for example.
I tried the workaround I found on these very forums of copying the fonts to the folder C:\Program Fils\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts and it still does not work.
Formated the HD and then installed Windows 7 32 bits (x86) and still have the same problems. All updates were made and applied to Adobe and Windows respectively for both 64 and 32 versions and the error still happens.
In resume, fonts are installed, they are system fonts but under Windows 7 64 or 32 bits versions they simply do not work when opening the PDF files with embed fonts.
-The PDFs had no problems before while running windows XP Professional.
-The PDFs open whithout any problems on machines with Windows Xp Professional.
-This is happening specifically in Adobe Illustrator CS3 and CS5 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and 9.
Please, I urge for help since we don't know what to do anymore.
Thank you all who took time to read this and forgive my terrible english, it is not my first language.
Best regards,

Andre,
What I believe you have is 2 different versions of Arial, you old machine probably contains the version you need.
By old version, I mean one could by true type(XP), and another Opentype (WIn 7), and the error comes up. Even though they have they same name (Eg: Arial Bold).
There are even old version of fonts that are both of the same font technology format and have different FOND ID numbers(Eg: Frutiger was one that I often encountered, but you don't see this problem that much nowadays).

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 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.
Regards,
Melon Chen

How to embed fonts in PowerPoint?

Is it possible to embed fonts in a PowerPoint presentation?

I just spent a half an hour looking through the menus and Help and I couldn't find an option to enable that feature. It doesn't seem to be available. But, that doesn't mean it's not possible. There are certainly work-arounds, like printing your slide show and then choosing to save as a PDF. The PDF could be displayed with Acrobat Reader on any computer and the fonts would be imbedded.

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.
Be well...

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.

Embed fonts in PDF

I want to publish a book on lulu.com which I created with MS Word for Mac. It must be in PDF format with embeded fonts.
Firstly, how does one save a file as a PDF?
Secondly, how does one embed fonts?
Thanks!

There are several ways to make a PDF. The best way is the one that will give you the result with the end in mind.
If you're wanting to make sure the fonts are embedded & be used for Printing, I'd suggest making the PDF according to the PDF X-1a standard. This standard is set to do all the things you should need for a printer, except for making sure your images have enough resolution for printing.
The full version of Acrobat Distiller has this setting as a default. It's much harder to make a bad file with the X-1a standard. Saving to a PDF out of Microsoft is risky sometimes because Micorsoft applications don't always translate in the most reliable way.
Here's a website that can allow you to do it:

How do you embed fonts in a Captivate 6 interaction?

I've created an interaction using AR Cena font (which is loaded on my machine), but when a colleague displays the published version on her computer the font I have used does not display. It is published out as a zip file and loaded into our LMS. Any suggestions or solutions would be great.

To answer your question directly, you cannot directly embed fonts used in an InDesign document into that document itself with the following exception. If you place a PDF or EPS file with embedded fonts into an InDesign document, those fonts remain embedded; you don't need to have any other copy of those fonts available to view, print, or export to PDF.
As indicated by another responder, packaging an InDesign document can provide a means of moving fonts with the document, albeit as separate files in the package (of course, limited to your licensing rights to those fonts).
