Embedded fonts require special attention when editing a PDF document. Be aware that
embedding or unembedding a font affects all the characters in the file using this font.This
applies whether you embed or unembed a font from the Text Attributes dialog box or
from the warning dialog box that tells you the only way to enter characters is to remove
the embedding.
If an embedded or subsetted font is not installed on your system, you are only allowed
to make limited editing changes to the text using this font. Without the font installed on
your system, you can only make changes to color, tracking, word spacing, baseline,
margins, or justification. To be able to edit the content of the text by adding more
characters, you must first install the font.
Follow these guidelines when using the touchup text tool:
•
You can change text attributes, with the exceptions of Font and Embedding. You can
always delete characters.
•
You can add characters using a font, or you can change existing characters in a font, if
that font is installed on your system or if the font is a nonembedded single-byte font in
the system’s encoding.
•
If you attempt to add characters to a single-byte embedded font that is not installed,
you receive a message that asks if you want to remove the embedding. If the single-
byte embedded font is not in the system’s encoding, the message you receive says “You
cannot edit this text font.”
•
You can embed added characters only if the font is installed and any instance of the
font is embedded. Otherwise added characters are not embedded.
•
You cannot add characters to selected text using a multibyte font unless the font is
installed on your system.
•
You can always unembed an embedded font.
•
Single-byte fonts are fully embedded when you choose Embed. multibyte fonts are
subset embedded when you choose Embed.
