I am producing a state comprehensive annual report using Windows XP, Acrobat 5.05 (full version), Acrobat 6 Reader, Word 2000, the latest version of Lotus 123, Illustrator 10. I am only using TrueType fonts (I embed all fonts in the Distiller setting). I am creating postscript files using the latest Acrobat Distiller printer driver. I combine the files using the "rundirex" postscript program provided by Adobe; I'm using the Distiller setting (Isaacs) based on Dov Isaac's "Reliable PDF Creation in the Enterprise" presentation at the PDF 2001 Conference West. I decided to experiment and try reducing my PDF file size. I saved my PDF as Postscript, and I then distilled the Postscript file. The resulting file is 300k smaller (1,500k to 1,200k). When viewing the files in Acrobat (under font properties), I did notice that my fonts are now listed as Type 1 fonts (embedded subsets); previously they were listed as TrueType fonts (embedded subsets). The PDF file seems to print ok and looks fine on screen. Is redistilling an acceptable practice, or are there some problems I may encounter.
