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.

How remove embedded font from PDF

When I print to PDF on Mac OS 10.6.8 by default embed fonts to PDF-file. It add unnecessary bites to PDF-file (the file is huge size).
How to remove this option of fonts embedding? Or how remove embedded font from PDF file?

After opening dozens and dozens of linked files,I finally found the offending "empty line of text" in one of the AI files I placed in the INDD file. Open > Select All.... then check the font panel. With mixed fonts, it was empty, but if everything was the correct font, it was filled in. It was just one AI file.
I want to thank you all for your great ideas and for sharing your experience. Onward, now.

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.

Missing Fonts from Imported PDFs

I have a document that has several PDF documents "Placed" in it. When I go to print, it tells me that I have missing fonts.
From Find Font, I can see the missing fonts and what PDF they came from. Only, Find Font won't let me substitute it.
I can't change the font on the PDF either since it was not made by my department.   I've tried Placing with and without a Frame. Tried embedded and linked.
Computer and Program Info
Windows XP
InDesign CS3 v 5.0.4
Program is on my computer / documents saved to server
User status only - if any updates come along, I have to have IT log in to apply them.

I totally agree. I'd be a lot less stressed if that's how things were done here. We are a State University who's funding suddenly got cut. Work study students are cheap (though not as cheap as fixing up any messes they make). It's also cheaper to hire people who don't have complete training.   Every program I use, I've learned on my own. I'm at least smart enough to ask questions and read the manual. When training that my employers can afford (i.e., free) comes up, I attend. The only saving grace of Aspergers - I learn programs (and programming) quickly - maybe not as efficiently as you - but better than those around me. I at least knew about embedding fonts, linking graphics and packaging (my old days on Mac OS7 with PageMaker and Photoshop)
And at least I can read instructions.   "Place missing fonts in the Fonts Folder, which is located in the InDesign Application Folder." - Adobe Manual
I just looked. The folder is empty. And I gave them a print out of the instructions.
As for the Plug-in I asked to have installed "Missing Fonts Loader", they just dumped the plug-in into the Plug-in folder and didn't bother to read the "how to install" instructions. IT must have sent a work study student. Every time one touches my computer, something goes wrong or missing. Once they even installed the same program twice - 1 per partition.
Thank goodness the 'work around' did actually work. I'll will be working on fixing the problem the correct way, but I have to has this project ready now - not months from now.

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.

Remove the mouseover filename from a PDF document

I'm trying to generate a PDF using Adobe Acrobat X Pro through the Word 2007 interface. When I generate my PDF and mouseover an image, the mouseover text displays the filename of the image file (ie mouseover text="ImageFilename.png"). Additionally, some of these aren't even correct (the image filename is actually a previous revision of the image file and not the current file). I would like to know:
-What data does Acrobat poll to get these filenames. I know it isn't the actual filename since some are incorrect, so it must be some data contained in the word document itself?
-How can I remove this function altogether? There is no significance to the image filenames and I'd rather not have to ensure they all match the document text.
I have searched this and other forums but can't find instructions on how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

I'm not aware of anyway to automatically remove them from the pdf file. You can manually remove each of them but it's always better to treat the source file than to treat the PDF file for changes.
To keep from seeing them without having to remove them all in Word, just use the "print method" to create the PDF file. Print to the Adobe PDF printer rather than using the Save as Adobe PDF feature.

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, color, face, or any combination
of the three.]]>
</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.

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?

Remove list of fonts from keyboard preferences

i am using mac mini os x version 10.8.2.
i have installed some fonts.
now i have uninstalled them from font book.
STILL the names of fonts show in the "input sources" tab of the "languages and text".
Is there any way to remove the names of the fonts from the input souces tab?
The names of the fonts are
Unijoy
Bangla-Ankur
Rupali
these are Bengali language fonts.
If yes,show me how.

Things you find in "input sources" are not fonts. They are keyboard layouts. If you want to remove them, you need to look in home/library/keyboard layouts and library/keyboard layouts.
It really doesn't matter if you leave them where they are. Keyboard layouts don't do anything unless you check the box for them and then select them from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.

How to create PDF without embedded fonts from Indesign

Can anyone tell me how to create from Indesign a PDF that certainly does not contain any fonts I don't want to include? But that would appear in the same layout in a substituted font, including italics and small caps?

You can't, InDesign will embed the fonts for you.
To unembed fonts you need Acrobat Professional. Go to Tools>Print Production>Pdf Optimiser
go to Fonts
And select the fonts to unembed.
You could select any text and change the Transparency to 99.9%.
Then in Edit>Transparency Flattener make a new one using High as a base for the new
Select Convert Text to Outlines.
When you Export to pdf, choose Adobe PDF 1.3, and go to Flattening, choose the new Flattener Preset that you just made.
And when you export it, any text forced through the Flattener will be converted to outlines. (this could violate the terms of the Font Licencing.)
