Font embedding marginal value

Hey...
when i do an export from document to pdf-file, i embed all the used fonts. there is a margin value - automatically setted to 100 %.
i know, when i use 100 % only used characters got embedded as subassemblies.When i use 0 % the whole font type with all coded characters is embedded.
my question is: why should people embed fonts less than 100 %? Like for example 40 %. Because the effect is the same, isn't it?
Also the file size between embedding all characters or embedding just subassemblies is not so much different that i can see the advantage of embed only the characters that are used in my document. For me this does not make sense. I hope anybody can help me with these questions.
Thanks

There have been a few reasons to embed 100%, but the reasons are generally related to odd fonts used in form fields (best to stick to the Adobe default fonts) or for editing, that is generally not a good idea for PDFs. I use embed all as subsets. I embed all for those who may be using a viewer other than an Adobe product and might not interpret the fonts correctly (I have seen this in GhostView).

How do you define which character set gets embedded with a font embedded in the library (i.e. Korean)?

I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all
contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's
library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.
The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from
external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a
CSS object.
This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different
languages.
Everything works great with one exception: I can’t
figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime
sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean
characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text
display correctly.
I’ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and
re-exporting but that doesn’t work correctly. I’ve also
tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.
I’ve also tried the method outlined here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
to no avail.
I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to
embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in
the library but I have yet to discover what it is.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jim,
I know that it is easy to specify the language you want to
use when setting the embed font properties for a specific text
field but my project has hundreds of text fields and I'm setting
the font globally by referencing the font symbols in a single swf.
I have looked at the info you've pointed out but wasn't
helped by it. What I'd like to be able to do is to tell Flash to
embed a language specific character-set for the font symbols in the
library. It currently is only embedding Latin characters even
though I know the fonts specified contains characters for other
languages.
For example. I have a font symbol in the libary named
"Font1". When I look at its properties I can see it is spcified as
Tahoma. I know the Tahoma font on my system contains the characters
for Korean but when I compile the swf it only contains Latin
characters (gylphs) - this corresponds to the language of my OS (US
English). I want to know how to tell Flash to embedd the Korean
language charaters rather than or as well as the Latin characters
for any given FONT SYMBOL. If I could do that, then, when I enter
Korean text into my XML files the correct characters will be
available to Flash. As it is now, the characters are not available
and thus the text doesn' t display.
Make sense?
Many thanks,
Mike

Font embedding problem PPT plugin Acrobat 9 Pro

Hi,
having just updated to Acrobat 9 Pro I encounter a font embedding problem when using the PowerPoint plugin (PPT2007) to create a PDF of my presentation. I am working under Windows 7 (64Bit) and use fonts from Mathematica (Wolfram). The generated PDF shows problems displaying the fonts, indicating that they have not been embedded (although font embedding of these fonts is set in the options). The problem does not occur if I directly print to the PDF printer - here all Mathematica fonts are correctly embedded (but this has other disadvantages since videos/animations are not integrated). The problem seems to be specific to Acrobat 9 since under Acrobat 8 everything worked correctly as well.
Any ideas/solutions for that issue?
Thanks & best regards
Ralf

Perhaps you may need to upgrade to version 9.2 (Acrobat support of Windows 7 begins at this dot release)?
Be well...

Embedding fonts in an existing pdf that does not have the fonts embedded

Hi,
I have an existing pdf that fails to open on my ereader.
So I opened in acrobat x pro to see what might be the cause.
Selecting "file"--> "properties" -->"font" ( fonts used in this document) I can see that this pdf uses multiple windows trueType fonts and that none of them are embedded in the pdf document.
Now my ereader is linux bases, so I am guessing this might be a problem.
Being an ereader I didn' give me much to go on.
So i would like to embed all the fonts listed in this list into the pdf file and save it again with the fonts embedded.
I went to "file"-->"save as optimized pdf" -->"font"
But there both lists embedded and unembedded fonts are empty.
Why is this and how can I embed the fonts shown in the document properties into the pdf?
They seem standard windows fonts like e.g. ArialNarrow

I just looked a bit furder and actually checked wether the fonts existed and found the following:
I am using windows vista.
The fonts mentioned in the properties of the pdf actually exist in the windows installed fonts but
in windows they are no longer TrueType but OpenType.
So I am guessing this might be the reason they are not in the list of unembedded fonts in the optimizer window.
Is there an easy way to say to acrobat to replace one font ( not found on this computer) with another font that does exist and also to embed that font in the pdf document?

Font embedding works in 1.8 preview, not in 1.7.2

Hello,
I'm currently creating epubs and testing them in ADE. I am embedding Google Webfonts.
I'm finding that many fonts embedding using @font-face are ignored by ADE 1.7.2. However, ADE 1.8 preview appears to show them as intended. Incidentally, the fonts are always shown correctly on ibooks.
Could you please let me know what is wrong - is it a bug with ADE 1.7.2, or would there be a reason why it would not 'like' my Webfont TTFs? I've found at least one other user having a similar problem, apparently: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1725479&postcount=7
@font-face {
font-family : 'FanwoodItalic';
src: url(fonts/Fanwood/Fanwood-Italic-webfont.ttf);
font-style: normal;
h2 {
font-family: 'FanwoodItalic';
Thanks for your help.

Are the fonts obfuscated? If so, using what method?

Font embedding problem in PDFs

Since upgrading to Leopard from Tiger-
We are losing fonts embedded into pdfs, either saved through Preview or Adobe Indesign CS3.
The preview of pdfs, both in the finder windows and in Entourage email attachments are missing fonts too. Sometimes opening them resolves the issue, but not usually.
This has occured to both User and System level fonts.
We have cleaned the font caches, but this only provides a temporary fix.
We have tried not using our Suitcase Fusion and just letting FontBook manage the fonts on this machine, the problem still manifests itself.
The only change in the equation from a perfectly operational machine was the change from Tiger to leopard.
Any thoughts/help = greatly appreciated.
Matt

Update: Reader 8 on a PC displays everything fine, so it's a matter of updating

Need all fonts embedded in my PDF.

I converted a word document to pdf through pdf pack. How can I get the following fonts embedded in my pdf: arial MT, arial MT bold, and arial MT italic? Thanks.

Hi Cyn Tarr,
You can embed fonts using Adobe Acrobat.
PDF Pack cannot accomplish this.

How to extract Chinese text from font embedded text PDF?

This is actually font embedded text PDF (Used: type 1 fonts & custom encoding) and not scanned PDF, however I am unable to extract the "Chinese language" text properly and found only the garbled text when "Copy & Paste" (or save as RTF). Kindly refer the sample PDF attached for your reference.
Kindly advise how could I solve this problem.
Thanks in advance for your better solution.

As I was unable to upload the sample page PDF in my original thread, I have shared now in the following path. Kindly look into this and guide me how to extract the chinese text as UNICODE text.

CSS & AS3 Font Embedding

We have an application which is built like so:
Framework SWC
Application SWC
- Sub-application for web
- Sub-application for desktop
- Unit test runner
- etc.
The applications all share a look and feel including fonts. This was easy to achieve with Flex 3 using the trick with placing a defaults.css file at the root of the Flex Library Project. This would apply the CSS in the defaults.css file as the default theme, and font embedding calls in the CSS could refer to font files in the Flex Library Project. It worked great because we are also using a Sprite-based custom label class which embeds its font using AS3.
Now, the CSS font embed lines only work if we also place the fonts in the Sub-application. This means we have to have the fonts copied in every sub-application for the CSS as well as in the SWC for the AS3 embedded label class.
Is there a better way to achieve this in Flex 4, if we want embedded fonts in AS3 as well as Spark components?
Thanks!

I'm not sure exactly why you can't use Label and RichEditableText. You
might want to revisit that decision.
If the font is embedded in the main app SWF and is picked up by TextFormat,
then the most common possibility is that somehow other SWFs are being used
to factory the FTETextField. Maybe since styles are now per-SWF that's what
is going on.
I cannot use Label or RichEditableText because that particular text is being displayed in a completely Sprite-based view. We feel for that portion of the view that it is worth giving up the advantages of UIComponent to get something lighter weight.
The font for the Sprite-based text is embedded in the class for that text field. The font for the UIComponent-based text is embedded using CSS. Is there a way to use a single compiled SWF for both? Would the SWF just be a single class embedding the fonts? That way we could pull it in at runtime. Would that work for the TextFormat as well?
Thanks,
Patrick

Font embedding chinese

Hi all,
I need to know if font embedding is possible for multilingual data ( ie chinese data). I have SimSun.ttf which I converted to afm and pfb files using ttf2pt1 tool. But there were lots of exception when the conversion was done. When i try to embed the font using the pdf-embed option the pdf is not getting opened atall. Can anyone give any inputs on this.
can we generate pdf with embed option that has chinese data. What font is proposed for the embeding. I am unable to get correct afm and pfb fonts.

i have installed the acrobat asian font pack. I have the stsong font. it is a cid font. Can anybody tell how to embed a cid font in a pdf. I couldn't find any online resources that would help me do this.

How to disable automatic font embedding in CS5?

I installed CS5 and opened an old .fla which did not embed the Arial font because everyone has it already. Mostly it is used for user-entered and dynamic content. However, CS5 is auto-embedding the few characters I use in Arial, and all of the other characters are no longer showing up in the swf file. The only fix seems to be embedding the entire Arial font in the movie, which is too large since I want to be able to support all kinds of characters.
Is there a way to turn off auto-font embedding? This feature seems well-intentioned but critically flawed if it can't be turned off.

Hi,
You can set the TextField's Anti-alias setting to "Use device fonts" if you don't want to embed the font.

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.
