Hi all, this seems like a very basic question, but I haven't found anything on the wiki and in the archive: I'm typesetting a book with mkiv, and the printer wants all fonts completely embedded. I knew how to do this in mkii, but what about mkiv? (Btw, I'm using \enableprotruding and \enableadjusting, would this make any difference for embedding the fonts?) Thanks, and all best Thomas

font are always embedded but subsetted which is quite normal; the only reason for full embedding is that they want to tweak your text afterwards which is not what you want (given that they have the apps to deal with it). protruding and adjusting is not related Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

It might also be, that they want to comply with PDF/A ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A As far as I can tell, that seems to demand fully embedded fonts. As inconvenient as it might be, it's at least an ISO standard :D Regards, Andreas.

a slight complication (which as usual results in a few hours work) is that we need to trigger this pretty soon in a run and as such it can become only a commandline option a next release will provide --directives=fonts.embedall but first i (read: taco) need to figure out why setting the embedding flag in a tfm table does not work out as expected Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

What about pdf/a and opentype ?

see http://www.pdfa.org/doku.php?id=pdfa:en:faq According to the PDF specification, OpenType fonts can only be embedded beginning with PDF version 1.6; PDF/A-1 requires PDF 1.4. This would mean that PDF files with embedded OpenType fonts cannot be converted to PDF/A. Despite this, the conversion seems to have worked. It is correct that OpenType fonts cannot be embedded in PDF/A files. However, OpenType fonts are often converted to another type (TrueType or Type1) when they are embedded, so creating a PDF/A file should usually not be a problem. If Acrobat 8 recognized the file that you converted to PDF/A as being compliant, then a conversion of the font type probably took place. You can verify the font type of embedded fonts using the Preflight verification report (Check box: “Show detailed information about document”, and then look under “Fonts”). see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A A new part to the standard, ISO 19005, Part-2 (PDF/A-2), is currently being worked on by the Technical Committee. PDF/A-2 will address some of the new features added with versions 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 of the PDF Reference. PDF/A-2 should be backwards compatible, i.e. all valid PDF/A-1 documents should also be compliant with PDF/A-2. However PDF/A-2 compliant files will not necessarily be PDF/A-1 compliant. The font type conversion in Acrobat is interesting. Anyhow, I never used PDF/A.

Before full embedding
you can try with these political  moves
1) "I give you all the fonts you need for free"
2) "I cannot completly embedd the fonts, because there are copyright isuues"
After that ,
did you already tried to do the same things in miv as  in mkii ?

If they fails,
then we must find a solution .

Fonts not included can sometimes speeds up things when you are coding, but I never use this feature -- too much dangerous. I never used full inclusion too, but it's a prepress job (and yes, I have a prepress office); there is also ghostscript that does this kind of distiller stuffs. Full inclusion can be useful, at least to cover the same feature of pdftex. (my 1cent) -- luigi

The argument to be able to fully include the font is that that's a requirement for many archiving standards. It also allows for easier, cleaner assembly of a single document file from multiple files (all sub-files have compleat fonts, the merged file can then discard the dupes and if desired, sub-set at that point and there's only one sub-setted version of each font, 'stead of multiples as there would be if the fonts were sub-setted in the source files). It also makes it possible to trouble-shoot for instances where font sub-setting may be causing difficulties (make a version w/ the font fully embedded / not sub-setted and see if that works instead). The only negatives I've experienced to fully embedding fonts are: - bloats filesize (not an issue w/ today's equipment and 'net connections) - some font licenses don't allow it (so set it up so that this is determined when the font is installed an such can be dis-allowed where not supported by the fonts' license) William -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.

donno exactly in which version of the pdf language object compression was introduced (1.4-1.5?). you can try to set \pdfminorversion 4 % default is currently 5 in your test document and only features of pdf 1.4 are used (pdf version 1.x needs at least reader version x+1).

donno exactly in which version of the pdf language object compression was introduced (1.4-1.5?). you can try to set

I think cross reference streams are 1.5, because this issue arose for me with fontforge, which needed conventional xref.

...

\pdfminorversion 4 % default is currently 5

in your test document and only features of pdf 1.4 are used (pdf version 1.x needs at least reader version x+1).

Up until pdf 1.7, anyway.

standard on what? it's pretty old apart from object compression not being supported in version 5, succesive versions are much better so maybe updating makes sense Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

a good test is pdftops (from the xpdf suite) as it will issue a proper message when something is wrong

ancient viewers might not support object compression
