Embedding

[Phillipa Bloom]

Why wont Times New Roman embed when I send publisher file to Distiller
even tho it tells me the it is embedded when I check on the tools,
commericial printing tools, fonts.

Tools > Commercial Print Tools > Fonts tells you whether a font is embedded
in the Publisher document.

To adjust the embedding settings for Distiller, you need to go to your
Distiller options. How you find these depends on your version of Acrobat.

Thanks, Ed - but I've selected Times New Roman to embed in the
distiller settings but when I distill the file, it still tells me it
can't embed TNR (and Helvetica also which I haven't used!!)

I take it you do not have "Do not send fonts to Distiller" checked?

Acrobat might be observing rules that it may not be allowed to embed TNR (as
it is a very common system font anyway)

"Do not send fonts to Distiller" is unchecked. I think you are right
about Acrobat observing rules. My problem is that the pdf looks fine
on my computer but when sent to the printers, the TNR font on the
proofs is corrupted. My print service uses Mac and I use PC. Perhaps
that is a problem also but it hasn't happened before. Not sure how to
get round this! Many thanks for your prompt replies.

Has your printer tried replacing TNR with Times, a similar Mac font?
That is normally good enough
