I could be mistaken, but since at one time they told me I was in the
top 5 PDF gurus globally, I'll take a shot. Not anymore, moved on. ;) )
PDF's use certain fonts to save file size, they are assumed universal
by Adobe on various platforms. This usually means that fonts that can
be swapped are swapped to save file size by using the known fonts in
the system. Now you normally can tell the PDF to use the real fonts
or tell it to generate print level document which should set it to
use the specific fonts, varies with apps. For the web, at least
default usually won't.
Have you tried printing the documents and diverting it to PDF? I'm
assuming you are not on OS X, as it uses PDF throughout and is very
flexible.
Perhaps if you can give me some more detailed info, steps, I could
try direct you this way or that way.

Hi List,
first post to the list for me.
I'm trying to batch-export .doc Documents to .pdf Documents.
This step is working like a charm right now, the problem occurs
between
opening and saveing the document.
In between those two the font is changed from Arial to a .pfm font
(MetaPlusBook). When the Document is exported the resulting .pdf File
still uses some Arial fonts and a Helvetica (to be precisely: Arial-
BoldMT
(TrueType), Arial-ItalicMT (TrueType), Helvetica (Type 1) and
LinotypeErgo-Regular (TrueType)) but not the desired font.
The very same problem occurs when manually writing a document using
the
MetaPlusBook pfm Font and exporting it to pdf.
I don't know what to do anymore, because i searched for every
imaginable
combination of keywords and didn't find a solution.
I'm using OpenOffice 1.1.4.
greets Jonas Ulrich
