Hi,
I need to export a some pages from some of the ebooks so that I can read it on other machines. So I select-copy the portion into MS Word and then convert it to PDF. Everything works fine except the ebook uses locked fonts here and there in the document and I cannot embed them into PDF.
Here I have 2 questions:
1. Is there any way to embed locked fonts into PDF? What procedures are involved? I am not sure if I need to pay the copyright owner in order to unlock it. But I have paid for the ebook with which the locked font comes with. Anyway, I'd like to explore any workable solution
2. How can I specify font replacement so that a replacement font can be embedded?
Many thanks
Fred
A locked font means you don't have permission to embed the font unless you have bought the font itself. You can't embed them in the PDF if the criteria for the font doesn't allow it. Paying for the ebook doesn't include permission to embed/unembed fonts you don't own.
You can't specify font replacements in Acrobat. If you export the content to Word, you can select the text and replace it there. However, the text in the Word document isn't related to the original text in the Acrobat document.
