Issue #2: Font Times-Italic, Times-Roman, Times-BoldItalic, Times-Bold, Helvetica, Courier is not embedded.
You
can see what fonts are embedded and what are not, by using "pdffont
file.pdf" and looking at the "emb" column. In our case, it did show that
some fonts are not embedded.
Fix: We searched the Internet [1, 2]and
found that in order to fix this (i.e. to embed all the required fonts)
we need to do the conversion from tex to pdf in two stages. This is a
dirty hack; but it works.
latex file.tex
bibtex file
latex file.tex
latex file.tex (Now we have file.dvi)
dvips -Ppdf -G0 -tletter file.dvi (Now we have file.ps)
ps2pdf -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress file.ps file.pdf (Now we have file.pdf)

Open the file in a Acrobat Reader and save a copy also seems to fix this problem.
ReplyDeleteTo check whether fonts are embedded:
ReplyDelete1) From the File menu, select “Properties…”
2) From the Document Properties dialog box, click on the “Fonts” tab
On the fonts tab, the words “Embedded Subset” or “Embedded” must appear next to each font
If a subset of a font is embedded, this means that only the characters used in that particular document are embedded. This is acceptable for a thesis or dissertation, because these documents will not be edited in their pdf form. If you expect someone to be editing the pdf file in the future, embedding the entire font is a good idea.
how to do it?

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteA solution for who is using Microsoft Word. You have to save the pdf version from the "Print" option and not from "Save As". Make sure also to have Adobe acrobat reader as default program. Finally, you can check the fonts embedded in the pdf file and submit with sucess via Pdf Express!!!!!
