help copywrite question

[flying]

Has anybody had the problem when useing fonts for a business application on PDF files where it says'font not embedded due to copywrite' and what did you do about it?

Select the font in question and then in the "arrange " menu and the "convert to shapes".

[gwpriester]

Fonts may be copyrighted and to that end cannot be legally embedded in a document. Since PDF documents can have the font embedded in the document, this means that the font can be extracted and used by anyone who receives the document and is in violation of the copyright agreement. Not unlike a pirated DVD. So to stay on the right side of the law, Xtreme's PDF export dialog flags these fonts.

Albacore is correct. These fonts need to be converted to editable shapes. Otherwise the file cannot be converted to PDF/X.
