Embedding fonts within a postscript file

Hi all, I want to know the best way to embed specific fonts within a postscript file. More specifically, I have several postscript procedures that will draw shapes, graphs, and make labels based on the user's input. Right now the font is hard-coded, and it works on my machine, but I want to actually embed some other fonts within the postscript so that no matter where the program is running, the fonts will work when the user prints the file.
Thanks!

--| Use Acrobat Pro's (starting with 9.x) Preflight that embeds fonts (if they are present and installed on the local machine).

Be well...

  • Printing a PDF document within a postscript file

    I know it is possible to print a PDF document from within a postscript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions.  Is is possible to print a single page PDF document multiple times as a booklet?  For example I have a PDF document that is a page of graph paper.  I want to print this PDF file 8 times in the form of a booklet.  Is this possible and if it is how would I code the postscript to do this?
    Thank you  in advance
    David

    Where do you know that “it is possible to print a PDF document from withint a PostScript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions” from?
    PDF is absolutely not part of the PostScript language itself. Nor is there anything in the DSC specifications that provides for printing a PDF document from within a PostScript file.
    Attached to this posting are the two existing pieces of documentation of DSC from Adobe. Neither references such a capability.
    DSC are simply “comments” within a PostScript program file which may be used by preprocessing software or external applications for various puposes, especially associated with prepress actions and placing of EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) in other graphic arts documents.
    Conceivably some implementor of some PostScript product may have provided some capability to embed a PDF file or to invoke the printing of a PDF file from within a PostScript file using custom DSC. However, this is certainly not part of the official PostScript language. I have also attached those specifications as well!

  • 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.

    Edit: One bug is the Type field. The type will always be the same as Document Color Mode (File menu). In the above example I am using a RGB jpeg.

  • Using italics within Htmltext with embedded fonts

    hi there guys, I've been trying to use embedded fonts within my htmlText. However, it seems like it only shows the bold/normal fonts and it ignores the italics. The italics part of htmlText shows up as normal weight/ normal style font.
    Here's what I am doing (am i doing anything wrong?):
    I embed my fonts within a .css file:
    @font-face {
        src: local("Verdana");
        fontFamily: myFontFamily;
        advancedAntiAliasing: true;
        fontWeight: bold;
        fontStyle: italic;
    @font-face {
        src: local("Verdana");
        fontFamily: myFontFamily;
        advancedAntiAliasing: true;
        fontWeight: normal;
        fontStyle: italic;
    @font-face {
        src: local("Verdana");
        fontFamily: myFontFamily;
        advancedAntiAliasing: true;
        fontWeight: normal;
        fontStyle: normal;
    @font-face {
        src: local("Verdana");
        fontFamily: myFontFamily;
        advancedAntiAliasing: true;
        fontWeight: bold;
        fontStyle: normal;
    Then i use it within this Text component:
      <mx:Text width="100%" color="blue" fontFamily="myFontFamily" f>
            <mx:htmlText>
                <![CDATA[
                    <font color="#000000" size="10">This text is 10 point black, <i>italic</i>, and <b>bold</b>.</font>
                ]]>
            </mx:htmlText>
        </mx:Text>

  • Hundreds of Duplicate Embedded Fonts in PDF Makes it HUGE

    Hello!
    I have a document (word docx file) that is over 150+ pages long. When I print to Adobe Acrobat Pro - it crashes. When I open the document in Preview, it looks fine - but after saving the file as a PDF, the file size is HUGE (over 250+ mb in size). It contains no images, and only a handful of fonts.
    The huge PDF file opens fine with Preview and Acrobat after saving it from Preview. So, I uploaded it to my printer's servers (Lulu, the document is a manuscript), and a few days later I get a RIP error during the printing process. Lulu reports they can not print the PDF.
    So, I spent many hours trying several other solutions - including saving as a postscript file directly - but the files always end up being huge. Finally, this morning, I thought to inspect the PDF file created by Preview... and I found that there were literally thousands of duplicate embedded fonts in the PDF file. Garamond, for example, was embedded over 15,000 times...
    I can't seem to get Adobe's postscript printer to work in OSX 10.5 with this file (it crashes due to a memory overload). Also, the Preview file always includes thousands of duplicate fonts embedded (is this a Quartz Filter issue?)
    ANY help would be appreciated. Basically what I want to do is have OSX produce a normal PDF with each font only embedded once.
    Anyone have any clues?
    (I've tried ghostscript, PDFshrinker, different quartz filters, etc... can't seem to figure this out...)

    I believe I have found the problem. Something from what you wrote made me think about how OS X fonts are really "pretty" -- after looking into it... the tech term is that OSX uses "ligatures" between characters in fonts that have them. Wel... ALL the fonts I use include these so-called ligatures, which can cause problems when the Word Doc is viewed on Windows machines... i didn't think this would matter with PDF's... but.. I went back into Word,switched to "publisher view" (which is the only way to access Word's ligatures option) turned Ligatures OFF and then produced the PDF as usual
    VOILA!!!
    The PDF was 80mb, and all the fonts were embedded ONCE each. After running Adobe Acrobat Pro's PDF Optimizer for Prepress the file dropped to 20MB!
    I've uploaded it to LULU... I'm fairly sure this will work
    THANK YOU for the discussion... I'm not sure what it was; (it was late at night)... but this discussion has really helped!

  • Kindle and embedded fonts

    I have studied things in this forum and elsewhere about the net regarding embedding fonts for Kindle mobi files with InDesign CS6, but nothing seems to work.
      Our Institute is prepared to pay for concrete help in this regard. If anyone is interested, I would send you the fonts and a few pages for trial. Kindly write to me at [email protected] and let me know what you would charge for a successful resolution to the problem.

    Font embedding is a very confusing issue because it depends on the capabilities of the EPUB reader. I really haven't had the time to learn all the fine points.
    I know that it now works correctly in InDesign CC if you're targeting iBooks, but I'm not sure it's guaranteed to work on other readers. With InDesign CS6, I believe you're using the correct workaround.

  • Embedding Fonts in PostScript and/or PDF

    Under 10.3 the Print dialogue had a Save As File option which allowed the embedding of fonts in PostScript. Choices were All, All but Standard 13 and such. This made sure that the PostScript (and generated PDF) files would render properly on systems with a different set of fonts.
    Under 10.4 this capabilty seems to be either lost of so well hidden that I have not been able to find it. Did I miss it?
    How does one embed fonts in PostScript and/or PDF files? Is there a Tiger options somewhere? Is this a case of having to use a third party utility? Like the full Acrobat set or something else.

    AFAIK, the system PDF creation always embeds fonts.
    At least in the few tests I've done, using the Save
    as PDF option in the print dialog produced PDF files
    that show in Acrobat as having embedded font subsets.
    Thanks. I checked with the same ressults but the problem I am having seems to be related to the Type 3 custom fonts that are in LaTEX generated files. The Type 3 fonts do not seem to survive being saved as PDF. They seem to cause some confusion in DEVONthink and I was hoping to get files that could be scanned by it.

  • When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement:"The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach." How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

    When trying to upload a PDF to an interactive site I get the announcement: "The attached PDF file references a non-embedded font Tahoma. Please remove file, embed the font and reattach."
    I could not get rid of the Tahoma font in the WORD file.
    How do I embed this, or in fact any other font ?

    Thank you very much !
    Indeed, I was unaware of the enormous number of options that can be selected when converting a WORD file to PDF.
    I went thru the settings and found the right one for embedding the fonts.
    Thanks again !

  • Save as PDF Files too large, Remove Embedded Fonts/Compress Fonts

    When I create PDF's using "Save as PDF" in Mac OS X, the file sizes are much larger than is acceptable for my application. For example, a recent PDF I created ended up at 1.7 MB and I need it to be around 150 kB.
    When I open the file in Acrobat Pro 6.0 and audit the file, I see that 94% of the file size is taken up by embedded fonts. I can then Optimize PDF with Acrobat Pro and remove the embedded fonts. The file size drops to around 145 kB.
    Is there any way to NOT embed fonts when creating PDF's with Mac OS X? Also, is there any way to compress with Mac OS X in a manner similar to Acrobat Pro?

    Hi LD,
    I don't think so that this is possible.
    I have the same problem to ... even when I open a existing PDF file that I downloaded from the net. It was 150 Kb an after I work in it to make same changes I save it an turns up to be 2 to 3 Mb or sometimes even more ...
    I open de PDF than in Acrobat pro and remove everything I don't want ... I select in Acrobat Pro an select 'optimise PDF'

  • When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts

    I got this error:
    "When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts."
    This strikes me as bad practice. I only want to use system fonts and document fonts will muck me up.
    That being said, I could not easily find a way to fix this with Acrobat Pro XI. I opened Control Panel (Windows 8) and found the printer and mucked around in the various ways to get to change the PDF settings (there are several ways, and some of them present the choices as bold and not just regular). I found two separate switches for "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and turned both off, BUT that did not work.
    Frustrated, I went back to FrameMaker and clicked File > Print Setup and then for the PDF printer, Printer Properties. There I found a THIRD instance of "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" that was set differently than the other two. This was the setting the error message meant. Change this one.
    Thanks for the convoluted UI, Adobe. What a pain, but there is the answer for all who follow after....

    > Windows 7 and Frame 7.2.
    This is not a supported configuration and probably does not work, due (I'm guessing) to driver API changes from XP to Win7, which would affect generating PDF and Ps output. This would affect Save-as-PDF and Print-to-Ps+Distill (unless you have a newer version of the full Acrobat product).
    As it happens, I'm going to attempt something similar: FM 7.0 on Win7 64 Pro. However, I'm going to install that old FM in "XP Mode".
    XP Mode is a 32-bit virtual machine running actual Windows XP inside Win7. It is (now maybe "was") available for Windows 7 Enterprise, Professional and Ultimate (but not Basic, Home or not-so-Premium). When XP went off support life earlier this month, Mr.Bill may have taken down the ability  to download XP Mode (or not, since some large enterprises are able to  purchase continued support for XP at some great cost). XP Mode never was supported for Win8. There are other VMs for Windows available.
    If XP Mode is still available, you also need a CPU that has hardware virtualization, which all recent 64-bit AMD processors do, but which is fused-off in many low end 64-bit Intel processors. AMD processors need a separate unobvious hot-fix patch installed before you do anything else about XP Mode.

  • Embedded fonts not appearing in ePub on Kindle mobi file

    I have embedded two fonts into the ePub file which are called throught the CSS using @font-face declaration.
    When I view the ePub in iBooks on my Macbook or convert it to .mobi to view on my Kindle reader (on mac still) I can see the fonts fine.
    However, the problem occurs when I send this file for my client to do the same on his mac, and the fonts do not show up.
    I don't even know where to begin with this one, so any advice, suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Hi Josh,
    Were you able to solve your issue with the fonts? I'm having the same issue but only when I go to publish the epub on Kindle Direct Publishing. When I view it through their previewer none of the fonts display. It seems like they display the default Kindle fonts. If you found a solution, please share
    Thanks,
    Sarah

  • Are there any libraries can be used to generate Type 1 font postscript file

    I am trying to create a Type 1 font postscript file. But I found it is hard to find the library to generate the Type 1 font postscript file. I just found a library named iText which can create the Type 1 font PDF file.
    Are there any libraries can be used to generate Type 1 font postscript file?
    Thanks!

    I don't see much benefit with the current ODI adaptors for planning if it is an EPMA type planning application.
    They have been specifically designed to work with classic planning applications.
    It certainly is possible to load into EPMA interface tables using ODI though there are no direct adaptors and it takes quite a bit of effect to get them into the correct format.
    Cheers

  • Embeding Fonts from TTF File

    Hi,
    I had a very basic question on using Embeded Fonts in SWF files.
    I have to use a Italic effect on a Arail Font text, for this should I use ARIAL.TTF and apply the italic effect on it or Should I go for ARIALI.TTF file?
    What is the difference and which is the correct way of doing it?
    I am acutally working on a PPT to SWF converter and I am not able to match the look at feel of the Italic or Bold fonts in PPT and SWF, any suggestions where I should look for help on understanding how fonts are used?

    Hi Peter,
         Thanks for your reply.
         I did some experimentation and found that I can embed the Arail.ttf file and apply FontStyle=Italic property in my MXML tag and it shows me a italic form of Arail font. But when I try to use the same embeded font using FontRange and specify FontStyle = Italic in font range the italic font is not shown on the UI. Why is there a difference in MXML and Font Range ?
         I understand that I should use ARIALI.TTF file for Italic fonts but the problem is that it increases the size of my SWF. And even if somebody has used a italic style for couple of words it increases the size significantly. I want to avoid that.
         Can you tell me why FontStyle on normal Embede font work from MXML and not from FontRange?
    -Saurabh.
