ACROBAT 4 WON'T STYLE FONT WEBDINGS

[LEE_R_HARROLD@adobeforums.com]

HI

Does anyone know why Acrobat Distiller 4 won't embed the font WEBDINGS. I am saving the file from Quark as a eps.
How do I resolve this problem please.

Any help will be good thanks

Don't distill a Quark EPS. That is not a good workflow. Use
PostScript, not EPS (print to file with the Distiller PPD).

Not sure how I do that, as I have a epson inkjet printer and cant print pdfs straight from quark ?
I am using quark 5 in the OSX Classic envioroment.

You need to select AdobePS or PSPrinter in your Chooser, then print to
file. You might have to install the "virtual printer" extension.

Still got a problem with acrobat not making a Pdf with Webdinds font. Have loaded vitual printer and made a ps file from this.
reinstalled the webdings font.

Ok, now you may need to go into Page Setup (or Printer Setup, can't
remember) and select Font Inclusion: All.

If that still doesn't help, please post the full text of the Distiller
messages.

Here is the log report I keep getting

Just to let you know I am running Distiller 4 I have looked in all the setting tabs and cannot the font inclusion all ?
distiller does say embed all fonts and subset all embedding fonts below 100%
in the font tab

[Aandi_Inston@adobeforums.com]

Font inclusion: all is vital. This is not in Distiller, but in Printer
Setup for your application.

Distiller will only find TrueType fonts if they are inside the
PostScript file, so the only Distiller option that is relevant is
"embed all fonts".

Tried all that and still got a problem, can't make a PDF with WEBDINGS font Included.
same log report as before.

Ok, did you find (and set) Font inclusion: all?

Are you using PSPrinter or Adobe PS?

Aandi Inston

[LEE_R_HARROLD@adobeforums.com]

no could not find font inclusion all all looked everywhere for this in the printer preferences and acrobat .I am using ps printer in the chooser menu with virtual printer.
and Quark 5 .

[Aandi_Inston@adobeforums.com]

Maybe the option has a different name. I no longer have PSPrinter to
check. Can anyone help Lee find this...?

Try this link .......

If this is not what you are seeing - then download the AdobePS printer
(updated PSPrinter) from
[url]http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=807[/url]
and then try it ..

cheers lee

Lee,

Did the guide help - or was your solution different?

Jon

[LEE_R_HARROLD@adobeforums.com]

The guide was ok but as I am using Adobe virtual printer the PostScript settings are in a different place altogether. But yes you must have font inclusion all on.
then you can print ps and PDF in Distiller.

p.s do you know what are the best settings for Acrobat Distiller are for sending a file to a commercial printer please thanks.

Otherwise come back and explain the specification ..
