Hi,

I am trying to produce a pre-press ready PDF document (with embedded fonts). But for some reason Helvetica will not be embedded correctly. The configuration is correct (see below), the document properties of Acrobat Professional 8 (see attached images) show that Helvetica is an embedded font but when I run the preflight, all my text occurrences are marked as "not embedded".

Unless you have very specific needs such as PDF/A compatibility requirements, you need not, and in fact you should not embed neither Helvetica nor any other "Base14" font (Times, Courier, Zapf Dingbats). These are supposed to be available in all environments where you can read PDF (even if this implies a font substitution).
Did you have a look at
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html#Base-14+Fonts

Thanks for the quick answer. I've read this paragraph. But when I send a PDF to the print shop they'll make a preflight and complain whatever font might not be embedded. I have no idea why this problem occurs - The font seems to be embedded but not "properly". Any workarounds?

Regards,

Max
