Embed PDF font as default

Question

We have just adopted a company wide branding/font and we need to ensure our users embed this font whenever they create PDFs

Does anyone know if it is possible to set this on all our computers using Group Policy or similar?

We are currently using Acrobat 9 Pro

Thanks!

Hi Paul,

Open the PDFMaker's settings panel (method varies by the software product you are using to access it.
Choose Advanced Settings.
Add your font to the Always Embed list.
Save the settings as a new joboptions file.
Distribute the file:
Predeployment: Use the Customization Wizard's distiller feature: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Wizard/distiller.html
Post deployment: Distribute the file to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings and set the default joboptions file to use for the PDF printer and Distiller in the Registry.

hth,

Group Policy alone? No, that would imply that the you could set the font of Distiller, PDFMaker and Acrobat with a Windows Registry entry. You need to set a default *.joboptions file (which is actually a COS preference file) and then reference that file in the Acrobat/Distiller/PDFMaker registry entries that are applicable. You can figure this out with Microsofts Process Monitor by running through selecting the custom *.joboptions file and then documenting them. Once you have the documented you can script the copying of the custom *.joboptions file and the appropriate registry entries either through script or Group Policy.
