Embedding Fonts PDFCreator

Brief Description

Fonts embedding is required for many purpose. If you want to create a PDF document that will be shown to your clients and you are not sure whether a certain font has been installed on your clients' computers, you should embed fonts into your PDF document. So that the document will be opened and shown on other computers keeping the format and fonts unchanged.

What your issue is

Why can’t I edit some certain letters?

How to fix this issue

It is probably caused by one of the following:

1) The Character Set specified in embedded fonts is incomplete. (In this case, you can click on “Add Text Objects” button, insert these letters, and change the font with Standard Windows Fonts.)

2) Some Character Sets are disordered. (In this case, you can click on “Add Text Objects” button, insert these letters, and change the font with Standard Windows Fonts.)

3) The Character Set specified in these letters is not supported by Foxit PDF Editor.

More Details

One of the things that makes PDF useful is that that PDF documents embed the fonts which they use. So if you send a PDF to someone else they will be able to read the document even if the fonts used are not installed on their system. The only drawback is that this will make your PDF document larger. With Smart PDF Creator you can choose not to embed the fonts in the output PDF file. This is useful in case you are using standard fonts, such as Arial or Times New Roman that are normally installed on any Windows system or in case you are not going to send the PDF document but use it yourself. This will help you to decrease the size of your PDF document.

Click Start, Printers and Faxes, and click with the right mouse button on SmartSoft PDF Printer. Select Properties and go to the Additional tab. Click Additional. Go to the PDF tab and uncheck the Do not embed any fonts checkbox.

Choose the fonts that you wish to embed into your generated PDF. Unicode, True type fonts are all supported. The left window shows all the fonts currently installed on your system. The right window shows the selected fonts that you wish to embed into generated PDF:
