Printing - fonts SOLVED

[dwg11]

I am printing a document with a custom font (non Microsoft standard) using "PDF-XChange Lite".
What I want to happen is for the end user to view the font in their computer, but no more than that, as the font is protected copyright.
I've heard the term "subset" used to embed fonts.

The options available in the Lite printer are a little confusing:
- Embed All Used Fonts
- Force Embed Protected Fonts
- Embed Extended Fonts/Character Info
- Force Embed Temporary Fonts
- Embed a subset of fonts only, if percentage of characters used is less than %

I don't know which option/s to choose.

Hello dwg11,

When you embed the fonts inside a PDF file - those can not be 'extracted' so that your user could get a copy of the font installed in Windows and use it elsewhere, with any of the options you have for embedding fonts in our drivers.

However - if you want to only embed a subset of the font, you need this option:
- Embed a subset of fonts only, if percentage of characters used is less than %

This is useful with East Asian fonts, that could be quite large (they can contain thousands of symbols), and you only embed a subset of them - enough for the symbols of that font you have used in your file.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Thanks for clarifying.

PS. I did not get an email notification.
