How can I embed the font used by typewriter tool?

Post by ivorhorton »

I use the typewriter tool added some text comments like this.

As you can see, the right text uses a special type of font. How can I make the used characters of this font embedded with this pdf document? I copied this pdf file to another computer without this font installed, and the comments displayed with a default font.
Thanks.

Save the file as PDF/A Document.

Hello Joxon,

Indeed saving a copy of a file as PDF/A will force all fonts used in it to be embedded - as this is a requirement of the PDF/A sub-specification.

Kind regards,
Stefan

A minor detail (not directly relevant to the OP's question):
apparently fonts used in form fields are an exception, per
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=31792&p=136590&hilit=embed+font+DIV#p136590
A workaround is suggested at the above link though.
