embedding fonts in existing PDF

[Nazareth_Key@adobeforums.com]

Is there a way to embed the fonts in a PDF? We often receive PDFs from outside sources that we don't have access to the native file. If the font is not on my system, I occasionally replace with a similar font, but it isn't always feasible. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, and this is normal and recommended. You mean, though, I think,
embedding late in the day. The PDF Optimizer can do that.

The font would need to be on your system to be embedded, though.

Aandi,

I believe the optimizer allows you to unembed fonts and retain existing
fonts. I don't believe that it embeds fonts that are not already there.
At least that is my take on what the dialog box says.

A new preflight fixup for can now embed fonts (as mentioned by Aandi -
you must have that EXACT font installed on your system)

Jon,

Is this in Acrobat 9 only or in 8 as well. I have just installed 9 and
haven't had time to play yet.
