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
