Re: Can I universally replace embedded fonts in a received PDF document?

: The help desk desk say if the settings are correct in the pdf's production then there shouldn't be a font problem. I : haven't been able to test this yet. They said that the creator should select in the 'job options': : Print Optimised OR Press Optimised [though Press Optimised makes bigger files] : BUT: : It seems that it's impossible to replace all occurances of a font in a PDF in one stroke rather than line [aarrghh] by : line. They hadn't thought of it?!?!? : This is just incredible. They said they'd pass the comment on and perhaps they may include that in the next : version. : How could it not occur to them? : John : : If I receive a PDF version of a Quark or Pagemaker file from a Macintosh. The embedded fonts, though they may display correctly on a PC [don't know why as they're Mac ones!] : : - simply won't print. The default arial and times ones are used. : : Can I find a list of these embedded Macintosh fonts in the document and replace them with pc friendly Windows ttf's of my choice universally? : : I mean rather than line by line - which would take years. : : I'd like to do this so that the replacement fonts will be truly embedded - displaying and printing correctly from any other PC? : : Hope you can help. Thanks, : : John
