Embed Settings

“Font Embedding” refers to embedding information about the fonts used in a PDF into the PDF.

Embedding fonts increases the file size, but it also allows the PDF to be viewed and printed without losing the layout in another environment where those fonts are not installed.

If fonts are not embedded, the file size can be reduced, but the file may display differently depending on the environment and application in which it is viewed.

Embedding Types Set the font embedding type in PDF.
Embed All Fonts Set this option if you want to embed all fonts used in the original document to the PDF file.
  • These are the recommended settings for viewing in different environments and for long-term storage of files.
  • When the standard is PDF/A or PDF/X, be sure to assign the settings to [Embed All Fonts].
