You can move a font to the Always Embed (or Never Embed) list by selecting the font in
the list on the left and clicking the arrow button next to Always Embed (or Never Embed).
If necessary, choose a different font folder from the pop-up menu to display the font in the
font list. Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select multiple fonts to move,
or Shift-click to select a contiguous range of fonts.
If the font you want is not in a font folder, click Add Name, enter the name of the font,
select Always Embed List (or Never Embed List), and click Add. For information on getting
an exact font name, see
“Finding PostScript font names” on page 58
.
Note:
A TrueType font can contain a setting added by the font’s designer that prevents the
font from being embedded in PDF files.

To embed only a subset of the fonts, select Subset Embedded Fonts When Percent of
Characters Used Is Less Than and specify a threshold percentage. If the threshold is 35, for
example, and less than 35% of the characters are used, Distiller embeds only those
characters.
5
Use the option When Embedding Fails to specify how Distiller should respond if it
cannot find a font to embed when processing a file. You can have Distiller ignore the
request and substitute the font, warn you and substitute the font, or cancel processing of
the current job.

To apply the changes to the current job options, click OK. You cannot overwrite the
predefined sets of options. To save the changes as a different job options file and make
that the new job options file, click Save As.Then enter a name and location for the new set,
and click Save in the Save Job Options As dialog box. By default, these files are saved in the
Distillr/Settings folder (Windows) or Distiller/Settings folder (Mac OS) in the Acrobat
folder.
To prevent font embedding:
Do one of the following in the Fonts panel of the Job Options dialog box:
•
If the font is in an available font folder, select the font in the list on the left, and click the
right arrow button next to the Never Embed list. If necessary, choose a different font
folder from the pop-up menu to display the font in the list.You can Ctrl-click (Windows)
or Command-click (Mac OS) to select multiple fonts, or Shift-click to select a contiguous
range of fonts.
•
If the font is not in a font folder, click Add Name, enter the name of the font, select Never
Embed List, and click Add. For information on getting an exact font name, see
“Finding
PostScript font names” on page 58
.
To remove a font from the Always Embed or Never Embed list:
Select the font from the list and click Remove. This does not remove the font from your
system, it just removes the reference to it in the Always Embed or Never Embed list.
Finding PostScript font names
If you need to enter a font name manually in the Fonts panel of Job Options, you can use a
PDF file to find the exact spelling of the name.
To find a PostScript font name:
1
Use any application to create a one-page document with the PostScript font.
2
Create a PDF file from the document.
