[XeTeX] Is there a way to have a PDF generated via xelatex/xdvipdfm and not end up with CID encoded fonts?
Hello all, I have run into a problem with CID encoded fonts. I have a service I am trying to submit a large of number of PDFs to and they said they can't handle CID encoded fonts. Is there a way to have a PDF generated via xelatex/xdvipdfm and not end up with CID encoded fonts? -Mike -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex

The only way I can think of to do this is to load the .pdf files into a tool which is able to save the files out re-encoding the fonts, picking a .pdf setting which doesn't allow CID fonts. You should re-proof the files after any such transcoding though. I'd suggest finding instead a printer w/ an up-to-date RIP, or asking them to test the files as they are --- I suspect they'll ``just work'' and it's an (over)abundance of caution on their part to not allow such files.

I am trying a conversion to Postscript 1.2 then conversion back to PDF. But this loses the Bookmarks and other PDF specific features. You should re-proof the files after any such transcoding though.

No RIP involved.

If you can use xdv2pdf on Mac OS X, then that doesn't generate CID fonts IME.
