Accessing and embedding fonts
When converting a PostScript file to Adobe PDF, Distiller needs access to the file's fonts
to be able to insert appropriate information in the PDF file. Distiller can access a file's
fonts in several ways:
● Type 1, TrueType, and OpenType fonts can be included in the PostScript file. For
information on including fonts in a PostScript file, see the documentation that came with
the application and printer driver you are using to create the PostScript file.
● Type 1 and OpenType fonts can be included in font folders that Distiller monitors. The
fonts are called out by name in the PostScript file, and Distiller looks in the folders to get
the actual fonts.
● Width-only versions of many common Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts are included
in Acrobat. Make sure that the fonts are available on your computer. To install them in
Windows, choose Complete when installing Acrobat, or choose Custom and select the
Asian Language Support option. In Mac OS, Asian language fonts are installed
automatically.
Note: Distiller does not support Type 32 fonts.
