Not to mention that the file size will increase if the text is outlines. That makes each page a bunch of graphics. We have had numerous trouble printing files when our client have done this.

Working on the pc and transferring file to the mac always runs into problems with fonts especially for DTP files. I just found out that with indesign you can transform fonts to outlines before saving as PDF or EPS. Quark doesn't. > > > >Sincerely, > > > >-- > >--------------- > >Dr Ahmed Bamouh > > > There is no good reason whatsoever to "transform fonts to outlines before saving as PDF or EPS" from InDesign! Such transformations generally degrade the graphic quality of whatever is subsequently displayed or printed and really doesn't accomplish anything positive, unless of course you are trying to print to a buggy and/or obsolete RIP. Fonts should be embedded in exported EPS or PDF from InDesign for highest fidelity, searchability of PDF, PDF touch-up, and PDF repurposability! > > - Dov > > > > To change your subscription: > http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html > To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdf.html
