The problem
I sent a PDF to the printer and they told me that some text could have font issues. The PDF looks perfect on my computer. How can I tell if I can send it to print without risks?
Cause and analysis
The fonts are not embedded in the PDF, so the printer does not have the original font files and risks automatically substituting them during printing, altering the appearance of the document
The fonts are embedded but the printer uses verification software (preflight) that does not correctly recognize some special characters or variants, generating a false alarm even though the PDF is technically correct
Solution proposed by GPX
A possible cause is the absence of font embedding in the PDF, which makes the document dependent on the fonts available on the printer's machine
