OCR/Embedded Fonts/Fast Web Enabled

I am having problems getting some documents to have searchable text, embedded fonts, and be fast web enabled. With the problem documents, I can get the text to be searchable, but the fonts are not embedded. Any solutions?

I use Acrobat 8 Professional.

Acrobat Pro 8.0, Windows

Hi,
Unlike Acrobat 9 Pro/Extended, Acrobat 8 Pro/3D does not have a Preflight that can
embed the font associated with OCR hidden text.

Most organizations that require submitted PDFs to have embedded fonts also understand that the OCR characters are "hidden" and not embeddable in PDF versions 1.7 and earlier. Consequently, it is not an "issue" for them.

Use of Acrobat 9 Preflights lets one embed these; but that is the ISO version plus Adobe extensions of PDF.

Be well...
