Embedding Fonts Into A PDF

Hi There,
I'm having trouble sending my files to the printers, my fonts is jumping...
How do i make sure that my fonts are embedded into my PDF file,
I'm using indesign cs5.5 Please can someone help me, I have distiller as well.
Thank You
Kind Regards

Can you check one of your problematic PDFs with Acrobat? Go to the Document Properties dialog and check the "Fonts" tab. That way you can verify if your fonts are embedded.
It's really straightforward: where Acrobat does *not* tell you a font is "(Embedded)" or "(Embedded subset)", that font is missing.
If you find you are creating files without embedding all fonts, you need to review your workflow. As I said above, you might have switched off InDesign's warnings for this.
Bear in mind it's also possible your PDFs are fine and it's your printer that needs to update.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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,

  • Rename embedded fonts in a .pdf file

    Is it is possible to rename the embedded fonts of a .pdf file?

    You can safely removed the system times and helvetica.
    http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
    If you use iCal, Mail and a few other Apple programs that use badges on the dock icon you will get a substitute font on the icon, but having another helvetica will fix that. You need 1 Helvetica of any type or Photoshop will not launch.
    The only fonts you NEED in OS X are Lucida Grand (used in menus), Last Resort, and Keyboard. The rest can be deleted. Apple says you have to keep Kana, but if you aren't working in any Asian languages you can remove it without system instability. To be safe and follow Apple's guidelines you can keep it.

  • How can embed fonts into a PDF? Additionally, how can I make so that the PDF then opens with the embedded font?

    I need to embed a standard font (such as Times New Roman) and make it so that the document opens with this font presented. I see information on embedding fonts, but nothing related to the second part of my question. Thanks.

    The second part is automatic. If you manage to embed a font (for example with Preflight in Acrobat Pro), then a PDF viewer should use that. In some cases a locally installed font of the SAME NAME might take preference, which is only a difficulty if a private edited font is used.

  • Trouble with Preview not using embedded fonts in a PDF

    I have a client I'm working with that is generating PDF reports for various organizations in various languages. They are using an Arial Unicode font but are using different encoding for some of the more unique languages. To ensure the report will be viewable regardless of installed fonts, they are embedding the font.
    Most of the languages are showing up fine in preview, but three languages are giving me trouble. Specifically Greek, Russian and Thai which are using encoding EL8MSWIN1253, CP1251, and TH8TISASCII.
    Basically the question is whether there is some toggle that will tell Preview to use the embedded font? Or something we can put into the PDF (the pdf is created using FPDF) that will allow a user to know which font/encoding they'll need to install in order to properly view the document? (I'm actually trying to figure that out myself...which font I need to install to get preview to view the document properly).
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Actually, I got that example to work... here are the changes
    I made...
    <mx:htmlText>
    <![CDATA[You can vary the <font size='20'>font
    size</font>,<br><font
    color="#0000FF">color</font>,<br><font
    face="Courier New">face</font>, or<br><font
    size="18"color="#FF00FF"face="Times New Roman">any combination
    of the three.</font>]]>
    </mx:htmlText>
    As I said above, I have found errors in the code of the help
    docs... this is yet another one of them. Usually its spaces in the
    wrong place, or no space at all, or missing ) or ], or a case
    sensitivity issue.
    If you got your custom font to display, that should work...
    but then again.. what should work, doesn't always.

  • Embedding fonts in existing PDF

    Is there a way to embed the fonts in a PDF? We often receive PDFs from outside sources that we don't have access to the native file. If the font is not on my system, I occasionally replace with a similar font, but it isn't always feasible. Any help would be appreciated.

    >Is there a way to embed the fonts in a PDF?
    Yes, and this is normal and recommended. You mean, though, I think,
    embedding late in the day. The PDF Optimizer can do that.
    > If the font is not on my system, I occasionally replace with a similar font, but it isn't always feasible.
    The font would need to be on your system to be embedded, though.

    I have this weird issue where I am using a component

    Open the library panel. Click on the button in the upper
    right corner of the panel to toggle open the library menu. Select
    'New Font'. A new dialog window named “Font Symbol
    Properties” will appear. Click the double-arrow button to the
    right of the “Font:” field in the Font Symbol
    Properties dialog. Select the name of the font. Then, give your
    font a simple name in the “Name:” field. Leave all the
    other options alone. Click OK.

  • Remove an embeded font from a PDF

    Hi Guys
    I have a bunch of PDF's where I need to remove a sertant font due to Copyright reason.
    When I use the PDF optimizer and unembed the font, it replaces the font with another all over the PDF, but when I open the optimized PDF and check the properties, it still says that the font is
    embeded.
    How can I completly remove the embeded font? and is there a way, where I can choose the substitude font?
    Another solution would offcourse be, to transform all the text to pictures, but the quality is simply to bad to use.
    I am using Adobe Pro IX for Windows 8.1 (64 bit)

    Why do you think it's still embedded?
    It will appear on the File Properties > Fonts list because it's defined as the typeface to use in preference when rending the file, but unless the entry says it's embedded, it's only a reference to the name.

  • I can't add chinese font into a pdf

    I have scanned a book and OCR it into an PDF file. I want do some translation work that change the English to Chinese. I only use the Touchup tool, It's so hard to do, I have to right-click-properties-change the font to Simsun(It's the only Chinese font I can find in the font list), and when I type one word, the font set back to the original Arial, I can't do it in this way
    Anyone have a good way to help me? I'll really appreciate your help

    You don't understand our thrust. PDF files are really not meant for
    editing! Only the most minor of changes can be made and even if you can
    change a single letter, you cannot expect the text on the page to follow
    its previous course. It might, but all to often it will not. I have
    seen changing one letter ruin several lines of text! It is always,
    always, ALWAYS better to create the document anew rather than try any
    serious editing. Even with minor editing it is better to recreate the
    document if possible.

  • Embedding fonts into movie

    Hi all I have a projector into which I embedded some fonts
    using the following commands: Insert>Media Element>Font. I
    chose the option to include the entire character set. After I
    embedded the fonts, all the spaces between the words in the movie
    shows up as square boxes. How can I fix this?

    Are you using a fancy, custom font downloaded from some free
    font website?... your problem sounds like there's simply no space
    character... the box is the default 'character glyph' used when the
    nothing exists at the position in the font file.

    By "embed PostScript code", do you mean add a .ps file as an attachment?
