I've been making pdf files for printers for awhile & suddenly started getting calls that the fonts were not embedded. But I've been telling it to embed all fonts! It isn't working. One printer told me she'd run into this problem a lot, but didn't know a solution.

This is worthless to me if I can't send a file w/ the fonts embedded. Anybody come across this problem/and have a solution?

I'm on a Mac G4, by the way.
 
Dear Backspin,

While Exporting the Document as PDF click on the <Options> button on the lower right corner of &quot;Export as PDF window&quot;. Activate the Job Options Tab and select the &quot;Embed all fonts&quot; option. Click OK and save your document as PDF.

Hope this help.

Dear Backspin,

There is one more workaround for you. Make a PS file of your document. Activate your Distiller application.

Select the &quot;Settings&quot; option of the main menu. Opt for <Security>.

In the Security window, either set passwords for the documents or Select <DO NOT ALLOW CHANGING THE DOCUMENT> option.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
TechLeo
