Distiller can access a ﬁle’s fonts in several ways: Type 1 fonts or TrueType fonts can be included in the PostScript ﬁle.
Page 56 About font embedding and substitution Distiller can embed roman Type 1 and TrueType fonts in an Adobe PDF ﬁle to prevent font substitution if a user doesn’t have that font on their system or available to their printer. For each font embedded, Distiller can embed the entire font or the subset of characters used in the ﬁle.
Page 57 When Use Local Fonts is off, the PDF ﬁle also prints using substituted fonts. Setting the Distiller Fonts job options The Fonts job options specify fonts to embed in an Adobe PDF ﬁle, and whether to embed a subset of characters used in the PDF ﬁle.

Adobe Acrobat Help Managing Color in Acrobat Using Help Contents Index Back Managing Color in Acrobat When your document must meet strict color standards, viewing and editing colors consis- tently becomes critical, all the way from scanning source images to creating ﬁnal output.

Page 231 Adobe Acrobat Help Managing Color in Acrobat Using Help Contents Index Back Color management engine Different companies have developed various ways to manage color.To provide you with a choice, a color management system lets you choose a color management engine that represents the approach you want to use.

Page 236 Acrobat ships with a standard set of CMYK, RGB, and Grayscale proﬁles that have been recommended and tested by Adobe Systems for most color management workﬂows. By default, only these proﬁles appear in the working space menus. Note the following for Grayscale working space proﬁles:...
