Is There a Setting to Embed Fonts When Converting Files By Dragging and Dropping Into PDF-XChange

Post by mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap »

I often convert Word files to pdf by dragging the Word file into PDF-XChange. It converts it to pdf just fine, but the fonts are not embedded. I then have to print it again with PDF-XChange Lite printer to embed the fonts.

Is there a setting that I can change to embed fonts when I drag the Word document into PDF-XChange?

Now, if you had one-button font embedding (real font embedding like how PDF-XChange Lite does it and not how "save as pdf/a" does it; see my earlier post below), then I wouldn't care about this setting because I could quickly and easily embed the fonts.

Hello, mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap

Unfortunately at the moment there is no option to do this, but I will bring it up with the Dev team and see if it can be done.

I appreciate the response.

It would be nice to have separate options for converting documents using drag and drop (and other ways). However, I'd much rather have one button font embedding (which you said they are working on in the post I linked to in the original post) than separate drag and drop conversion options.

Thanks

Hello, mCHSNUg5Pz8cPap

Indeed it will be nice when we can finally offer it. If font embedding were not such a complex beast, I am sure it would already be a button you could push by now. Hopefully there can be some further improvements once that is available, but until then, the best i can promise is that we will look at it and see what can be done.
