How to embed fonts in XDP files

Avatar

Former Community Member
Is there any way I can embed the Arial Narrow fonts in the xdp files?

Is it true that If the fonts are embedded in the xdp files then the pdf generated from that xdp will populate the font correctly even though that particular font is not installed? What about printing that pdf? If the font shows correctly on the scree, will it print correct too?

Some of our clients are having issues printing the pdf which has Arial Narrow fonts. It prints gibberish.

I have attached a pdf whoch shows gibberish letters.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The fonts will be embedded as long as the vendor of the fonts allows it. Even they are embeddable then yes the font will display properly on machines that do not have the font installed.....but note that your PDF will be much bigger becaise the font is embedded.
