Times font in Adobe PDF

[NL_Derek-56V59O]

Hallo Framers,

Using Frame 7.1, Windows XP.

I use the Adobe PDF driver in Frame with the SetPrint utility. My problem is that our Style Guide demands the Times font and Adobe PDF converts this to Times New Roman.

My colleaguse use a local postscript printer which does have Times, but I get errors using this (IT have so far been unable to mend it).

Can I persuade Adobe PDF to accept the Times font? If not, it seems that "Frame best practice" (use Adobe PDF) is incompatible with our style guide (use Times). And obviously the style guide takes priority.

I'm unsure that there's a significant difference to the reader between

Times and Times New, but the problem is that your colleagues are using

the fonts ON THE PRINTER, not on their computers. Unless the printer

manufacturer provided the fonts on a CD to install them on the

computer, it's unlikely that those fonts are actually being

incorporated in your co-worker's PDFs. And if they are, it's highly

unlikely (but possible) that those fonts are licensed for inclusion in

a PDF -- if you're concerned about the legality of that, you should

check the actual PDFs with Acrobat's preflight tool.

If I were you, I'd buy a legal copy of Times, or simply ask the

keepers of the style guide if Times New can be substituted if your

system doesn't have Times.

Thanks Art,

When we checked Properties > Fonts we found that we have been using Times New Roman (TNR) all along. We checked again with the house style and it regards TNR as a Times font. All's well that ends well, have a nice weekend.
