Marketing Fonts in Document

Marketing wants to send out .pdf documents that have company
specific fonts in them. If I try to do that in .pdf, the fonts will
not be viewable by our intended customers. Is there a way to embed
the font in the document such that it is viewable by the intended
customers?
What are the pros and cons to this approach?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Dave,
It is possible to embed fonts in a PDF document. However this
functionality has not been included with the Acrobat.com online
Create PDF feature. You would have to create your PDF files with
the full Acrobat desktop product. I believe in that case choosing
embedding fonts is simply a checkbox in the settings.
Pros:
Document will look exactly like you want, no matter who opens
it or what fonts they have installed on their system.
Cons:
File size will be larger because fonts are included in the
file.
Thanks,
~Dean

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.

InDesign CS6 - fonts problems (Document fonts fight with system installed fonts, "font incomplete")

hello
First, Indesign function to automatically open fonts from "Document fonts" folder is fantastic, quasy font manager. BUT, fonts is available ONLY for THAT indesign document, no other application can use it, even from CS6 suite. This is probably the most stupid decision about how this function must work. IDEALLY, fonts will be available for ALL application inside CS package until indd doc is closed. If I need some font for editing links in photoshop, illustrator I need to install them. This workflow have wrong concept.
We now have problem, sorry Indesign have problem. Example, I need type1 font mt-symbol for mathtype AND for Indesign. This font is installed in c:\windows\fonts folder. Everything work fine. When I make package from Indesign and reopen indesign indd document inside package, Indesign report that mt-symbol IS INCOMPLETE. WHY, BECAUSE CONCURENT FONTS from both C:\windows\fonts folder AND FROM "Document fonts" folder. If I rename "Document fonts" folder, Indesign open font only from system and everything work properly.
THIS IS BIG PROBLEM, fonts circles around workflow/folders and always will be duplicates in "document fonts" and system\fonts folder because different application need same fonts.
Any solution?

Another problem with the Document Fonts folder that we just noticed: in CS5, you could place Windows Type 1 fonts (.pfm and .pfb) into the Document Fonts folder on a Mac and InDesign would activate them.
This no longer works in CS6. (Bug report filed.)
Huge bummer, as this was a great timesaver and workaround in a high-production prepress environment when working with old Windows files. Hopefully this was not an intentional change and will be restored in a later bugfix release, or at worst in CS7.

See a list of all the missing fonts in document?

Ive been sent a Photoshop document by someone but some of the fonts are missing.
If I double click on a layer that is missing a font Im told what the font is. This can be time consuming so is there a way of seeing a list of all the missing fonts in a document?
thanks

Ann,
In Acrobat Pro 9, go to: File --> Properties... --> Fonts
I recommend that you ask further Acrobat questions in the Acrobat forum where those pros hang out. Thanks.

Embedding fonts in document

I work for a Printing Display company. Illustrator CS3 allows you to embedd subset fonts only with permission bits available. The problem I'm having is some of our big customers do not want to send copies of the fonts they paid for. They save the file as a PDF with the fonts embedded so that they will view and print from either Acrobat or Reader. If I open the file in Illustrator I get a "Font missing" warning. What is the work around for this? The reason I need to open these files in a Graphics App is because we need to use our templates in order to edit colors and bleeds and such. Without the fonts it's pretty much useless. We could tell the customer to just outline all text but this is a hassle for all kinds of reasons. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Paul,
When you open a PDF in Illy, all text is made Live Type, using the same font. If it is not accessible on your machine, Illy substitutes another font based on her best guess for a best match.
The option of having embedded fonts outlined and thereby turned into non (textwise) editable vector objects, very useful in many cases without need for modifying wording, has long been wished. I am afraid this wish has not been met yet; maybe it will happen in CS5, or later, or never.
Those PDFs without issues only hold fonts that you have.
I thought I remembered that there was a cunning roundabout way of obtaining this, and here it is, at least for versions from CS2 on:
1) File>New to open a new blank document;
2) File>Place the PDF, ticking the Link option;
3) Object>Flatten Transparency, ticking Convert All Text to Outlines option if applicable (flattening causes outlining at least in 10).

My Publisher 2007 Font Times document printed to Adobe X Printer has 150% clear display of PDF but not quite as clear at 100%

(1) HP 2311X LED Monitor and monitor LED HP Pavilion 27XI LED, Windows 8.1 on HP ENVY 700-qe computer system: (2) Windows XP Dell Computer Inspiron 530 Model: DCMF with NVIDIA Video Card GeoForce 8400 with Monitor Dell LCD model S2409Wb (3) I am using Publisher 2007 to print to Adobe Pro version X PDF printer to produce a PDF. We produce one PDF set up for 5.5X8 set up in printers spread and another PDF set up for readers spread. At 100% on both computer systems the print on the screen is not as clear (just a little like when an inkjet runs low on ink-some parts of the printed letters aren't as distinct as when viewed at 150%. We are using the Times Font. Clear Type computer enabled on both the Windows 8.1 system and the XP system displays. I tried using Publisher 2013 to produce a PDF and it seemed just as good at 150% and a little clearer at 100%. The PDFs are displayed on a web page for people to download. The web page is www.cbcb.org – a good booklet to look at on the first web page is “Appointed Times”.
What is going on here? The document has been viewed on the above two computers with three monitors and results are the same. With the Publisher 2007 I was printing to an installed Adobe Printer in the printer dialogue box to produce the PDF and with the Publisher 2013 I was creating the PDF by using the "SAVE AS" option.
Would appreciate some pointers on what is going on.

This is a pretty unusal error that i dont even think Adobe has an answer to. Either A.) They are really bad with keeping all their customer case information or B.) They know this is something they have no answer to so they are giving us the run around. It just doesnt make sense that it will work with excel and powerpoint now and not word. Only thing i have not tried is reloading Office...It may be something to attempt. If anything comes to mind i would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Why don't specifically want to copy marketing & banking documents from old db ?
1. Take latest Backup of old databse & restore it in new one.
2.Extract the datas thru SQL queries in old database & then map this data to DTW templates &
Import datas thru DTW to new database.

Set default font for document

Is there a way to set the default font for all objects in a document? For some reason it is Helvetica Neue every time and I need to change it to what I want.

Hello
The defaults reached thru the Terminal are not storing infos about the font used as default one in a template.
I apologize but when I select all in a Numbers document and save it as a template, it doesn't match your requirements.
Each time I insert a new table it defaults to HelveticaNeue.
This is why I gave the tip which changes the font name in the Index.xml file.
From my iDisk:
<http://idisk.mac.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
you may download:
:For_iWork:changeFont.zip
which gives you the ability to do the job very easily.
you may also download
For_iWork:removePrintRecord.zip
which removes the print Record embedded in our documents if this one is annoying.

Change font in Document

Hi there. I have a rtf file in which I am inserting string using Java:
FileInputStream fis= new FileInputStream(exampleFile);
RTFEditorKit rtf = new RTFEditorKit();
Document doc = rtf.createDefaultDocument();
rtf.read(fis, doc, 0);
doc.insertString(52,strName.toUpperCase(),null);However that inserts string in font size 12 how can I change that to 8
Another thing is how to set bold to that text.
Thank you

I see where you can see fonts in Acrobat 9 Pro under Document Properties. But the poster was trying to help guide you in the right direction. Don't be malicious towards people who are here to HELP you.
try reading this document:

Get Postscript Name of used Fonts in Document

Hi,
    I need to get postscript font name of fonts used in InDesign Document. Document Contains both text font and graphic fonts. When I am using the below code its returning text fonts used in document with "MT-Extra" font but "MT-Extra" font is showing as graphic. This line of code is returning text font with "MT-Extra" alone but other graphic fonts are missing.
alert("Fonts Used in Doc \n" + app.activeDocument.fonts.everyItem().postscriptName)
How can I get all fonts (both text and graphic fonts) name using scripting. Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance,
Sudha K

Hi,
   If i use this code alert("Fonts Used in Doc \n" + app.activeDocument.fonts.everyItem().postscriptName) its not returning all graphics fonts.
   Also, list of result fonts name is getting differ by using the below codes don't know why.
alert(getFonts());
Method 1:
alert("Fonts Used in Doc \n" + app.activeDocument.fonts.everyItem().postscriptName)
Method 2 :
function getFonts()
    var usedFonts = [];
    var usedFontsStr = "";
    var docFonts = app.activeDocument.fonts;
    for(var i = 0; i < docFonts.length; i++)
        var psFontName = docFonts[i].postscriptName;
        usedFontsStr = "#" + usedFonts.join("#") + "#";
        if(usedFontsStr.match("#"+ psFontName+"#") == null)
            usedFonts.push(psFontName);usedFontsStr = "#" + usedFonts.join("#") + "#";
    return usedFonts;
Method 1 would return fonts used in document know then why this variation.

Viewing/fonts of documents changed after 9.1 download

I have many pdf documents that look totally different now, almost unreadable. The font or something has changed after I downloaded the newest version. What do I do to get back to normal?? I am writing my PhD dissertation, and cannot even read my saved documents!
Thanks for any help.

I actually figured it out, thanks.
I messed around in Properties, I think I unclicked something about smoothing.
Anyway, all documents now look the way they did when viewed online when I first saved them.
I don't know what changed the settings, that has never happened before with an upgrading.
Thanks for replying..

[SOLVED] Preserving fonts in documents

I edit most of my documents on my Arch PC, which I do not have hooked up to a printer. I use a separate printer, connected to another PC. But, that PC does not have the beautiful fonts I loaded Arch with.
Is there a way to convert ODT OpenOffice Writer documents into images? PNG/TIFF would work, but PDF would be preferable. Note that it can't be what most PDF makers make, where the actual text is in the PDF, it has to be a PDF of images so that font rendering the way I set it up in Arch is preserved after taking the document to the other PC.
Thanks!

I don't believe OO is embedding the fonts. That's a really good idea, though, I'll look into that and see if there's a way to do it.
Aha! Got it. Apparently you must check the 'PDF/A1' option when exporting to PDF. That's so descriptive and understandable, right?

Signing digitally changes fonts in document when saved

I have just been sent a couple of document to sign - something I have done many times in the past few weeks.
When I save these documents after signing them - much of the text in the documents changes to something difficult to read (I suspect it may be courier).
This seems like a serious error to me as a lot of the point of digital signatures is that you sign and return a document that you can't otherwise have made changes to.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?
I'm using Acrobat Reader 10.1.9 on Mac OSX 10.9.2 (Mavericks). The documents were created on a PC.
I've attached a limited screen shot - although the document is fairly confidential so I can't upload most of it.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, my question was posted so long ago that I no longer have access to the documents. I printed and signed paper copies and deleted them. So the problem has gone away for me. However, I DO think this is a very serious issue.
I am a bit rusty now but I used to work a lot with Postscript and PDF. In my day, you could only realistically modify the content of a pdf document by appending new content to the file and then appending a new index. That ensured that, although the visual appearance changed, the underlying electronic document did not and even deleted items were still present - just no longer indexed and hence not displayed. That was a great system as it maintained an audit trail. I assumed that was how signatures worked which is why I was surprised to see the symptom I sent you.
I fully understand all you say about font substitution and multi-master fonts but I fail to see why it is relevant. If adding a signature is coded in a “well behaved” manner, adding it could not affect the rest of the document - including embedded or non embedded fonts. If it is not coded in that way, and some sort of active editing of the original content is going on, I am concerned that the legality of signed documents is seriously compromised as, if you can modify one bit of the original to add a signature you can edit any other bit of the document and subtly change it’s meaning WITHOUT AN AUDIT TRAIL. If that is what is happening, I for one would be wary of accepting important documents as signed PDFs instead of paper documents without thoroughly scrutinising the whole thing to see if any subtle changes have been introduced.
All the best
Dave

Newly installed font but document still says 'missing font'

Hi!
When I opened a Pages template that was sent to me for work, it said the font Dakota was missing. So I proceeded to download the font and it is now in my Font Book. However, when I tried opening the document again, it still said the font is missing. Whats weird is that when making edits, I see the font Dakota under the list of fonts and am able to choose it. How do I fix it such that when I open the file, the font Dakota will be used automatically?
Appreciate any help on this. Thanks!!

Have a feeling the alphabetical order may strange like mine on that font. Did they tag the menu name to have Adobe bur invisible, not sure. Also Check for the calssic menu name not matching font name of "ITC New Century Schoollbook".
