Embedding Fonts

(1/3) > >>

Willow:
The Situation:  I'm doing my layout in Open Office.  It's what I know, it's what I have, and it's working for what I'm trying to do.  It also exports documents to .pdf format.

The Problem:  Lulu says I have fonts that aren't embedded, that I need to embed them.  If I skip exporting and let Lulu do it, the formatting gets wrong.

More Problems:  I figured out how to do it for Adobe Acrobat... except I only have Adobe Acrobat reader, and the Open Office help files are empty.

So, Forgites, what do I do now?

Eero Tuovinen:
Huh, I've never had to create a pdf with Open Office. Hopefully somebody else knows what to do.

With Word, which is of course dissimilar, there is an Acrobat plug-in that handles the job very much the same way Distiller would do it.

If everything else fails, PM me about converting the file into a Word document and distilling that. It's a pain in the ass as far as procedure goes, but I guess it's better than not distilling at all.

Yokiboy:
Make sure that you're using fonts that allow embedding. You might want to install the freeware called "The Font Thing" so you can easily check the status of your fonts.

TTFN,

Yoki
