A customer submitted a pdf file to us for copying on our DocuTech. It errors out at the DocuTech because "Garamond-Three Bold" was not embedded and the "substition is off." When I deactivate all the fonts on my G4, open up the same pdf and preflight it, my report tells me that actually 5 fonts have not been embedded. When I activate those 5 fonts on my G4 and repreflight the file, it tells me all fonts are embedded. I don't understand. I know the customer specifically set her options to embed fonts. I thought embedding fonts meant that the receiver didn't have to have those fonts resident. Why is our DocuTech rejecting the file? And why isn't it erroring out for all 5 non-embedded fonts then? I tried redistilling the file in Acrobat 5 and it seems to have worked. Can any pdf/printing gurus shed some light on the issue? Shall I just ask the customer to distill the file in a higher version of Acrobat in the future?
