If the company's print center is doing font substitution on an embedded font, they are using some VERY BAD software as doing so is breaking a MAJOR rule of the PDF format! You need to tell them so and get them to fix their problem - it's them, not you!

Everything works perfectly, and my thanks to the authors! Several of the documents use an OCRA Extended font. They display correctly on displays, and if I print them to something like a Xerox Phaser printer, everything is fine. When I look at the file using Adobe Acrobat, and select the PDF Optimizer, it indicates that the document has the OCRA font embedded, which is correct. If I remove the OCRA font from my local system, the document still displays properly. So far so good. When I send the document to the company's print center (Xerox continuous feed printers), the OCRA font gets substituted with something else. Again, sorry for the off topic question, but any ideas what could cause this? The Xerox guys said they could install Postscript 3 on the printers. Could that be the issue? The human mind is an iterative processor, it never does anything right the first time. What it does well is to make improvements on every iteration (deMarco) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
