Hi,

does anybody know how to really embed fonts into a pdffile? I have checked and read many conversations on that topic here but without the real solution (just a tons of arguments about "how problematic/unethic it could be"… and so on).

I know well MKIV subsets all fonts. Yes, it is really good but it does not satisfy 99 % of modern printing offices. Embedding of all fonts is very typical demand of them. I really need it, sometimes it is not good or possible to discuss with a printing office "why to use my file instead of the one you are demanding".

it's a weird demand of them as they are not supposed to mess with the pdf file anyway you can put all characters that make sense in an layer of page one painted in white (or whatever) but even then, the amount of related data is not there (in fact embedding only means embedding outlines and a font is much more than that) you can always give them a copy of the font (if the license permits) as for editing a pdf acrobat will look at system fonts Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
