information from the specified
Fonts
folder in the PDF pages it creates
during the refine process.
If your input files contain OpenType fonts that are not embedded in the
file, or fonts from the Microsoft font suitcase, add the location of the
fonts to the font search path. There is no need to use the Font
Converter.
Subsetting or embedding fonts
Prinergy can process files with either subsetted or embedded fonts.
Fully embedding fonts increases file size but in some situations it is
preferable. For example, when you use Acrobat 6 to merge multiple
PDF files, embedding fonts results in fewer problems with font
resources and preserves the ability to edit fonts.
Font Converter
Use the Font Converter to convert font files to PFA (Printer Font ASCII)
format, which Prinergy requires to correctly process fonts.
Font Converter contains two tabs: a
Global
tab and a
Job
tab. Fonts on
the
Global
tab are stored on the home server and are available to all
jobs. Fonts on the
Job
tab are stored in the job folder and are available
only to that job. When in doubt, use the
Job
tab.
When Prinergy uses converted fonts
Prinergy uses converted fonts in two places:
●
During the refine process, the normalize function uses PFA fonts to
embed font information in the PDF pages it produces.
●
During the output process, the renderer requires fonts in PFA
format.
Supported source font types and formats
Font type refers to the content and structure of the information that is
used to describe a font. Font format refers to the type of file that is
used to store a font type.
