We encourage all our clients to submit documents in PDF format.
Submitting document in PDF fomat ensures the document not being altered by any condition.
In order to ensure that the PDF version of your thesis or dissertation looks the same on all machines,
you must make sure that your document carries its own copies of the fonts you have used.
In technical terms, this is referred to as "embedding" your fonts
How to Embed Font within Documents
When Create Adobe® PDF Online has access to a font used in a PostScript file, it can embed that font in the resulting Adobe PDF file.
Embedding ensures that all readers will see the text in its original font and be able to print the file using the original fonts; however, embedding fonts increases file size.
About Font Embedding and Substitution
Create Adobe PDF Online can embed roman Type 1 and TrueType fonts in an Adobe PDF file to prevent font substitution if a user doesn't have that font on their system or available to their printer. For each font embedded, Create Adobe PDF Online can embed the entire font or the subset of characters used in the file. Embedding a subset saves file space.
Type 1 and TrueType fonts can be embedded if they are included in the PostScript file.
If a font is not embedded in a PDF file and the user does not have access to the original font on their system, Create Adobe PDF Online substitutes the font with a Multiple Master serif or sans serif typeface. If the metrics of the original font are included in the PDF file, the Multiple Master typeface can stretch or condense to fit, to ensure that line and page breaks are maintained from the original document. The substitution cannot always match the shape of the original characters, however, especially if the characters are unconventional ones, such as script typefaces. (For Asian text, Create Adobe PDF Online uses fonts from the installed Asian lanugage kit or from similar fonts on the user's system. Fonts from some languages or with unknown encodings cannot be substituted; in these cases, the text appears as bullets in the file.)
Subset All Embedded Fonts
To embed only a subset of the fonts, select Subset Embedded Fonts When Percent of Characters Used Is Less Than and specify a threshold percentage.
If the threshold is 35, for example, and less than 35% of the characters are used, Create Adobe PDF Online embeds only those characters.
When Embedding Fails
Use the option When Embedding Fails to specify how Create Adobe PDF Online should respond if it cannot find a font to embed when processing a file.
You can have Create Adobe PDF Online ignore the request and substitute the font, warn you and substitute the font, or cancel processing of the current job.
