Embeddig Fonts - Crystal PDF Exports

Hi All,

I have discovered an issue with PDF exports from Crystal. I am using version 10.

If I create a PDF with MS Word then embed the font, the document remains searchable. If I export from Crystal then embed the PDF, the text is no longer searchable. I have tried many different approaches - run text recognition on the document via acrobat after embedding and several different embedding settings/methods. I can't figure out why the font in PDF's exported from Crystal become non searchable after being embedded.

The fonts I am using are all true type fonts as Crystal (at least the version I'm running) doesn't allow for the export of open type fonts.

Can anybody shed light on this issue?

Thanks,
Paul

I believe this is a limitation of the Crystal export. Unfortunately, they don't give us much control over how the exports work, so I don't think there's anything you can do about it within Crystal itself. However, the may be a third party tool available that would let you change the way the export works. Take a look at
