Higher level versions embed the fonts in the pdf document. If the pdf you want to create is text displayed in a common font such as helevtica, just use a lower pdf version level and you can pretty much guarantee that it will display/print correctly on other computers and printers. On problem that I have come across is MS Word documents which use Cyrillic (Russian) text. When these documents are opened in another computer which does not have the font installed the application makes a guess for a matching font. Often it gets the guess wrong, choosing a Greek font. One way for the originator of the document to avoid this problem would have been to produce it as a higher level pdf with the font embedded in the document. Cheers Ross Drummond
