Fonts

The Fonts property page allows you to enable or disable font embedding, you can enter a list of fonts

which you prefer to always embed and which should never be embedded.

As a general rule, common fonts which can be expected to reside on users PC's (such as Arial, Courier etc)

should be set to never be embedded, but unusual fonts which you cannot expect viewers of your files to

have in residence on their local PC's should be embedded. In the event you do not embed such fonts the

viewers results cannot be guaranteed in terms of the manner formatted.

Tip. Embedding fonts does add to the file size generated, so to avoid this possibility where you require the minimum file size

possible (i.e. web downloadable files), keep the use of unusual or proprietary fonts to the minimum possible.

PDF-XChange includes the ability to manage the way fonts are handled within the PDF files you generate.

Whenever possible you should choose to NOT embed fonts within the PDF files you generate. This ensures

maximum file optimization and smaller files. This means ideally you should choose, whenever possible, to

use standard windows fonts when creating the original document text – one that will be present on a wide

selection of users machines.

However there will be times when this will not be possible – perhaps you use a certain font for your

company or clients Logo – or you are forced to use a given font style by a Government Agency or Trade

body – in this instance you will need to ensure that any obscure or unusual fonts are embedded in the file

you create if you desire your users to see exactly what you see on the screen.

1. Embed All Used Fonts. If selected, all fonts used within the source document or text will be fully

included in the PDF file and available to recreate the document for the reader on any machine –

whether loaded on the PC or not – this does increase file – though often not too dramatically provided

a wide array of fonts and styles are not used in the document in question.

2. Force Embed Protected Fonts. Some fonts you have on your system may be licensed for your use

only and not for distribution by you to any third party – if the PDF file is for your use only or you are

convinced that either your target audience or you have the rights to use and distribute this font – you

may force its inclusion within the PDF file generated – even if it is protected from being included.

Some Font publishers set this property on their fonts and unless you force embed it – when opened by

a viewer without the fonts resident on their PC – a substitute font will be used – this could have a

detrimental effect on formatting of the page.

PLEASE NOTE IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOU ARE LICENSED TO

DISTRIBUTE FONTS AND FILE CONTENT.

3. Embed Extended Font/Character Info

4. Embed a subset of fonts only, if percentage of characters used is less than. This option

analyses your printed text prior to PDF creation and determines if the prescribed % content for the

fonts used is less than the figure set – if so only a subset of the font is included containing the font

characters used within the file – rather than the entire font to assist in optimizing the PDF file size – if

the font content exceeds the threshold set – then the entire font character set is embedded within the

file.

For viewing of your PDF files by 3rd parties – this should be sufficient to ensure readability and formatting

accurately matches the original document – however if your file is likely to be edited or content extract by

others – this can cause issues, as only a partial set of the font characters for the entire font is available,

therefore if a user editing the PDF file requires use of characters not included with the embedded font – they

will not be able to do so using the original font, unless they also have this font resident on their system.

If your file is not intended for editing – then it is recommended you leave the default 100% setting –

otherwise it is for you to determine a threshold that reflects the likely hood characters not already

represented in the text of your document could be used in any future alterations to your original and balance

this against the value of ensuring the file size is optimized as required.

1. Available Fonts. A list of all the fonts available to you for embedding. Fonts from this list may be

entered into one of two lists:

Always Embed Fonts. When checked, the selected fonts will always be embedded. You can

add and remove fonts in this list. Any matching fonts found in the file you generate will be

included to ensure correct formatting when viewed by your user – this will increase the file size

and should only be used when you believe it unlikely that your users may not have the file

resident on their machines.

Never Embed Fonts. When checked, the selected fonts will never be embedded. You can add

to this list any fonts that you believe will always reside on your users machines and therefore

need never be incorporated in a PDF file – irrespective of any other options you may select. You

will see we have already partially populated this list with default Windows and Adobe Acrobat

viewer fonts. The more fonts in this list usually the smaller the files you generate are likely to be

– assuming the fonts are used in the original documents being converted. There is no gain

however if you add fonts never used !

There is one exception to the above – if special symbols from any font are utilized in a source document –

they will always be embedded in the PDF document no matter what settings are chosen.

Overlays

Overlay PDF (as a Watermark)

This option allows the use of a PDF as a watermark or overlay.

For example – you may have standard company stationery with your company name and address details on

which you would like the text of your document printed – when printing to a physical printer this is no

problem if you change the paper in your printer trays to match your requirements.

This option allows you to do this electronically – negating the need to replace your printer paper or if

sending the PDF file via Fax or Email etc electronically – you can prepare the file and send without ever

having to physically print.

It is also useful if you have standard forms pre-prepared in PDF format (not to be confused with Adobe

forms format files that allow dynamic data entry in the Acrobat Reader) that you wish to overlay text on

from your Word Processor, spread sheet or database etc – simply use the form as a background overlay and

output your text or data at the correct position on the document to match the required area on the PDF form

and again the document is prepared electronically without ever physically being printed to paper.

55 . Printer 2012

PDF-XChange Standard 5.x

1. Overlay with an existing PDF file: When checked, activates the Overlay.

2. Overlay File: Designates the location of the file to be used as the background or foreground overlay.

3. Password to open protected file: If the file you are using as an overlay requires a password to

open for printing purposes, provide that here.

4. Place Overlay as Foreground: Otherwise the PDF will be set as a background object in the newly

generated PDF.

5. Repeat Options

Mode Description

No Repeat: The pages in the PDF file to be used as an overlay will be processed to match the

page numbers in the newly created PDF file. Therefore if your overlay file has 3 pages and your

source document has 6 pages, page 1 from the overlay file will be placed on page 1 of the newly

created PDF file with the content from page 1 of your source document, page 2 to page 2 of the

new PDF file and so on – pages 4, 5 and 6 of the newly created PDF file will contain only the

content available in your source document from pages 4, 5 and 6 – with no overlay content from

the PDF overlay file.

Continuous Repeat of Shorter Overlay File: Assuming the overlay file and source document

are as stated in the above example – all would proceed as stated above for pages 13 of the

output PDF file – then on page 4 of the output PDF, page 1 of the overlay would be placed with

page 4 from the source document, page 2 of the overlay file would be placed on page 5 of the

output PDF along with page 5 of the source document etc.

Repeat Last Page of Shorter Overlay File: Assuming the overlay file and source document

are as stated in the above example – pages 4,5 and 6 of the output PDF file would have page 3

from the overlay file imposed along with the matching page contents from the source document

(i.e Page 4, 5 and 6 respectively)

6. Positions: How you require the Overlay file to be positioned relative to the new file page layout.

By Horizontal: The horizontal position. Valid values are Left, Center, and Right.

By Vertical: The vertical position on the page. Valid values are Top, Middle, and Bottom.

Fit Overlay Pages to Newly Created Document Pages: When checked, the Overlay PDF

will be sized to fit the new PDF pages. This may distort the final image, so care should be taken

to check the resulting output to see if it is correctly placed.

Keep Aspect Ratio Dependent on Fit Overlay Pages to Newly Created Document

Pages: When checked, the Overlay PDF will be resized to fit the new PDF pages, but there will

be no distortion of the page, although care should be taken to check the resulting output to see if

it is correctly placed.
