PDF export and embedding fonts

[jens g.r. benthien]

Hi Remi,

well, I know I can convert the fonts to shapes/lines, but that will blow up the file size between 3 and 10 times of the size of the PDF.

Another drawback of converting the text to lines would be that nobody could perform a last minute text editing in case there is a typo in it.

Thanks for the info about the news - I'll check it in a couple of weeks - usually I don't have the time to read the 'Xara Outsider'

to get round the last minute editing problem you can put the text on a layer of its own and then duplicate this layer to convert to editable shapes - keeping the original layer there but hidden so it does not export

given this is not always practical if not laid out that way in the first place

In my old work place this is the way we handle the problem using this utility. We were 100% Illy and nothing else was allowed and even Illy has some of the same problems that XPro does. Have a look here, now I am in a rush so I have not looked at the price so I dont know if you can afford it or not Jen's but it was our solution as we got Mac fonts sent to us and we were on Windows but it does convert True Type to Open Type:http://www.xraymag.com/articles/xray...anstype_1.html
