Fonts not embedding in PDF 1.6

Thanks Rebecca, but neither method fixed the problem.

To clarify a little more (after comparing both an original Frame page 
with its PDF page at 400% on twin 19" monitors):

@ All fonts appear to be identical, although those in the PDF *may* be 
smaller.

@ The number of characters per line is different -- the PDF seems to 
have about 10% more characters per line. (Note that this is definitely 
*not* caused by margins or the entire page being printed 10% smaller -- 
my first thought).

Any ideas, anyone?

Umm. This sounds like the fonts are embedding. The "subset" just means 
that only the characters that the PDFs actually use are embedded. Not a 
problem unless you want to add text to the PDF itself.


There's a known bug that sometimes causes text to drop out of PDFs for 
no apparent reason. The solution is to drop the Distiller or Adobe PDF 
driver's Graphic > Print Quality setting dpi. Drop it to 300dpi first, 
then if that fixes the problem put it up to 600.
