Embedding Full Fonts

[MB_Prepress]

I'm trying to embed full fonts within Acrobat without subset. I succeeded in doing that but it doesn't use the original font family. For example: Instead of embedding Arial MT, it changes it to HWRDBDNKJJ-ArialMT. We can't use that when running the PDF through our current software for VDP as it increases the file size per entry. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Embedding the full font can increase the document size when the font contains many character sets. Every so often, the font name changes to something “obscure” in the PDF document. However, I have never investigated that.

Thank you. We are aware of the file increase with embedding the full font family. I am just wondering if there is a workaround for not having another (copy) created for each file as it is: HWRDBDNKJJ-ArialMT. Please advise.

Embedding a font in a file means to have a copy of the font in each file.

Ok. Thanks. Can you explain why it renames the font with all the additional letters in front then?

How do you create the PDF document?

They are client provided PDF's. So, numerous software programs are used to generate them. For example: Word, Excel, InDesign, Canva etc.
