Font Embedding Question

[Barbara_Shaw@adobeforums.com]

I have created a document in Quark Xpress 6.5. I then created a pdf file of the document using custom distiller settings. Under the "Fonts" tab in the settings I checked "Embed all fonts". I also checked "Subset embedded fonts.... (100%)". I opened the file on another computer (not the one that I created it on). When I choose the "touch-up text" tool in Acrobat, I am not able to make a one word revision to the file. Did I do something wrong with the fonts settings? Should "Do Not Send Fonts To Distiller" be checked or unchecked, or does it not make any difference? I am confused. I thought if I embedded the fonts and the subset to 100% that I would be able to make minor edits in the pdf file.

Thanks,

You need to have the font available on the computer you are working on or set the subset to 0% to include the entire font. Not to be used lightly with OpenType fonts. Using 100% says to subset unless all of the characters are used somewhere in the file.

A small correction:

>You need to have the font available on the computer you are working on or set the subset to 0% to include the entire font

In recent versions of Acrobat, to edit text, you need to have the font
available on the computer you are working on. That's it. Embedding
will not do it.

Thanks Aandi. I knew at one time you could edit with embedded/unsubsetted fonts.
