Not sure why, but many times using the Convert all Text to Outlines leaves some fonts live. Is there a threshold or reason why some would be left untouched? I can always use the Select Object tool and select all then manually Text->Convert to Outlines but it's a pain when there's multiple pages to be done.
Our Sign Shop wants all fonts converted, as do most outside sign vendors.
I've wondered about this myself.
Not sure why, but I always thought it was a licensing issue (by the font creator).
Like some fonts can't be embedded in a pdf, some can't print, etc.
Usually on a font that was meant to be used only on a Web site and not for print.
but, I could be wrong
:drunk3:
I think it is a licensing issue too. Sometimes Pitstop Inspector will even tell you that.
Unzip the attached file and import the preflight profile into Acrobat. Run it on the file you want to outline all fonts on. Rarely misses a font.
If you use it a lot create a droplet on your desktop and just drop PDF's on the droplet.
Cool, I'll give it a whirl when I go back. Thanks Joe!
I'll download it just in case, but most probably will only run on DC - which does the job most of the times -
If you have X - i do in work - you wont do much!
It is a standard Acrobat preflight so it might work in older versions. It might not too. I'm not sure when they added in the ability to do fixes in the preflight.
If you have PitStop 2019 take a look in the preferences.
New option to ignore font licensing, but please read the disclaimer!!
How did I miss that? ;D
Ooooh. That's awesome.
Me to boss soon..... we need to upgrade to pitstop 2019.
Lots of new useful stuff in there!
Just read the disclaimer!! Just had a pdf the other day needing fonts outlined and got the no can do license warning!

Doesn't seem to catch all the weird ones from this Canva file though. :death:

Can't seem to Import this to the Preflight panel - is that the format?
You did unzip it right? Yes the .kfp is an Acrobat DC preflight profile. You have to import from the preflight panel as shown below.
Oh no, not Cavana again.

Ohhhhhh, an ACROBAT Preflight profile. was trying to cram it into Pitstop. :-[
Bah, still a big old Fail.
What font is it?
Do you have pitstop 2019?
If so in prefs you can turn off the font license thingy, just have to read the disclaimer

I think I've only seen it not to outline all fonts once or maybe twice.

Yup, tried that too. No bueno.

They're those "stripped" T3 fonts like in my earlier post screenshot. Even doing a Select All with the Pitstop grabber there's no option to convert to Outlines. Might have to rasterize this batch if they're approved soon.
From your screenshot...
Encoding: Custom
:facepalm:
Maybe try using the Acrobat flattener and check the box to outline all fonts and see if that will work.
Nossir. Man, this is a beeeeyotch.
Fonts from HELL! :rotf:
Do you really need to outline them?
Are they embedded?
I really do - our sign shop guy has always asked that - we USED to rasterize evrrrrrrything for sign work but that's just stupid.

Are they embedded?
They are, but they're not identified as anything. I'll PM ya the file.
I get that, and I've seen it first hand. Our Onyx RIP will not always produce a vector file, especially a complex one with lots of transparency, layers, drop shadows, etc. Something goes wrong in the flattening process and things get omitted or it produces the inverse of what's expected.
Thanks for the file. If you can't outline I guess the only other option is to rasterize the type.
Here's an Action List to convert Type 3 fonts to images, it's set to 600 dpi so you might want to change that. Seems to work ok.
Thanks, that worked like a charm! And, bonus, it just got approved late in the day so I didn't have to rasterize the whole lot of them entirely.
Always nice to hear when it works.
Gives me a nice warm fuzzy feeling going into the weekend!
Although that could just be the Red Wine. :rolleyes:
