Fonts need not to be embedded in a PDF file The base 14 fonts, specific common Type 1 fonts, are installed as a part of the Adobe Acrobat installation.
Some time ago when I was pretty new to the publishing game I received a print-ready leaflet from our designer. I had to do a final proof read of the document before sending it off to the printer and on doing this I noticed a misplaced apostrophe. I opened the application the designer had used to produce the leaflet with the intention of simply deleting the unwanted punctuation mark, but, try as I might, I could not highlight any of the text.
With my frustration getting the better of me I rang the designer for help. She told me that the reason I couldn't alter the leaflet was that the font had been embedded. I was none the wiser, so she gave me a brief outline of what this meant and it all became clear. Having said that, embedding fonts is a fairly broad and complex subject, but here are some of the basics, and how they relate to Microsoft Excel. What are Embedded Fonts? Let us suppose you have produced a document in Word that you email to a friend who will print copies for you. If you have used a font that he does not have installed on his system then he will not be able to view or print the document as you sent it.
His system will try to display the document using a substitute font, but this can result in missed letters, added symbols and in many cases translation into complete gobbledygook. Why Embed Fonts? When you embed a font it changes from being editable text to something more akin to a graphic object. In simple terms embedding can be likened to taking a snapshot of the text so that it will be accurately reproduced when it is sent regardless of whether or not the recipient has that font, as it is no longer recognised as such. Can Any Font Be Embedded? No; only TrueType fonts are embeddable. To find out if a font is TrueType or not, simply find it on Word's drop down fonts menu - those with the double-t on the left are TrueType fonts.
That is only half the problem solved, however, as there is also the matter of embedding compatibility. This is where the designer of the font has allocated it one of four levels of embedding compatibility: Fully embeddable Editable embedding Print and preview only Not embeddable This is a rather complex issue that would require more space than I have here to explain, but it is worth taking the time to look at the different levels of embedding compatibility and what each one means. Can Fonts Be Embedded In Any Office Application? Again, no; the only Office applications in which fonts can be embedded are Word and PowerPoint. Fonts should be embedded in Word documents that are to be sent on to others while a missing font could cause havoc in PowerPoint as it may all unfold in front of an audience and that painstaking presentation you spent so long on could disintegrate into a lot of gibberish. Can Fonts Be Embedded In Excel?
Strictly speaking, no, although there is a way to do it, and that is to embed the Excel worksheet into a Word document where the required font is also embedded. To Embed A Font In Word Go to Tools/Options and select the Save tab.
Check the Embed TrueType Fonts box and clock on OK. To Embed An Excel Worksheet Into A Word Document Open a new document in Word. Open the Insert menu and select Object.
