How do I NOT embed fonts in PDF from CS
Programs used:
Adobe Indesign CS WIN XP
Adobe Acrobat 6 Pro WIN XP
Adobe Illustrator 10 WIN XP
Please read this discussion on another board where I can't get the answer:
GOAL: To have the FONTS Used in document list in PDF Properties EMPTY on PDF output.
___________
To do this in AI 10, I would SELECT ALL, the FLATTEN TRANSPARENCY Convert Text to Outlines - Vector meter at100%, and then print my PDF. No fonts show up in the PDF.
Tried everything in Indesign CS, and I can't do it.
>Flattening transparency creates rasterized output.
Actually no, in Illustrator 10 you can set the meter at 100% and it vectorizes everything that has been SELECT ALLed, when you hit FLATTEN TRANSPARENCY. I also no it hasn't been rastered because when I soom in super close to the PDF it is vector for sure. The fonts generally look darker onscreen when I do this, but on print output they look how they should.
Ive tried everything in Indesign CS now, and it ALWAYS imbeds some of the fonts. I even select EMBED FONTS - NONE. I even went to my Acrobat Pro 6 settings deep in the menu from where in CS you go to PRINT - PDF - Set all the Indesign settings, then FURTHER go into PDF settings and I added ALL the fonts to the NEVER EMBED list, and it still embeds them.
I don't know why Indesign CS doesn't have the capability to stop the font embed. Technically it should not embed anyting when I do SELECT ALL then CREATE OUTLINES, but for some reason it still does, even though everything appears on screen as if it were vectorized.
