Word Not Embedding Fonts in PDF
I noticed that one of my documents looked like caca when exported to
PDF. Suspecting the problem, I disabled the bitmapping of unembeddable fonts. Then the document was all in Helvetica. Why would word not be able to embed the font in a PDF. The font embedability is EDITABLE. I can use other PDF creators and the font is embedded.

Word Not Embedding Fonts in PDF
Try-
--------------- On the Save to PDF dialog, check the 'Options' button and check the ISO 19005-1 compliant box. This should embed the TNR font in the PDF. Without this box checked, the PDF uses resident fonts when viewed. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP --------------- Tom Ferguson wrote in message ...

Word Not Embedding Fonts in PDF
If I try to save with the box checked, I get the error:
"File is in use by another application or user."

A possibility is that the font is not 'enabled' for export: many fonts that
come with Windows have restricted user rights. If you go to the FONT applet in the Control Panel, you should be able to sort fonts by Embeddability (what an awful word!). -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ...

However, it is "editable".

There's a huge difference between editable and embeddable. The Microsoft
Typographical support site has a tool that lets you see all the attributes assigned to a font. I'm sure you will find that they are disabled from embedding. Terry wrote in message ...

It displays: Editable embedding allowed; fonts may be embedded in documents, but must only be installed temporarily on the remote system. The 2nd least restrictive of the 4 levels. Other options: 1. Installed Embedding Allowed 3. Print & Preview Embedding Allowed 4. No embedding allowed.

Word Not Embedding Fonts in PDF
I actually have to correct my original post. If I disable the Bitmap
Fonts option Word *IS* is embedding fonts into the PDF file--at least according to the properties in the Acrobat viewer. However, the Acrobat viewer does not display the fonts and uses the Helvetica default instead. If I print to PDF outsider word (rather than save as PDF) the document appears fine.
