Create a PDF With embedded fonts using Preview
Authored by: Roquentin on Feb 09, '06 08:46:57AM
I'm no PDF expert, but according to the Mac OS X Help entry on this subject, doing a standard print-to-PDF (without the intermediary step of previewing the doc) will create a PDF for which "all graphics are at full resolution, and the file includes each font character it uses." But assuming there are circumstances in which that nevertheless does not occur, Mac OS X v10.4 and later includes the option to save as PDF-X, and that standard does require that "all fonts and images must be embedded."

PDF-X

Great tip. And the hint comes in at just the right time: Only yesterday I had the missing font problem with a PDF (viewing it on a Widows computer caused problems), and today I read about the same topic and get reminded about PDF-X which will fix the problem - excellent!
