What version of Distiller are you using? With AB 6, you have several choices: Smallest file size (fonts do not embed) Standard and Press Quality (fonts embed and subset) If you do not have AB 6, then you should use the above references to select your settings. A word of caution, however, if you use fancy fonts and want the PDF to look like your original file, then you should embed and subset those particular fonts even when you are making a smallest file size PDF.

Could someone please explain the differences between these 2 options, I have learnt the basics but not much more. I use pdfs for print and online, but tend to use 'run of the mill' fonts, but not sure that I have chosen the right option - although Substitute with Device Font has not given me any problems, I am taking a training day next week with members of the dept and I am sure somebody is going to ask me the 'whats the difference?'. Is it irrespective what option I choose, as I am embedding all fonts within distiller and always make sure that I have the correct font on my PC. Regards Lewis.
