The logo might be achievable fairly simply by making the logo an EPS,
and embedding it with suitable instructions around it. The EPS
Specification gives the basics of this.

Using a custom font is going to require you convert that font to
PostScript form, type 1 or type 42 - PFA, not PFB, then embed it in
the file. Then it can be used as normal.

Thanks Anadi. I need some more help. 

1) Could you please instruct me on how to create an EPS file using logo that's in jpg format (or) how to convert jpg logo into an EPS file. 

2) Are there any tools to convert customized true type font to PostScript form or I need to contact vendor who customized font for us. 

I really appreciate if could help me in understanding this process. Sorry, I don't have extensive knowledge on this. 

Thanks a lot.

There are many tools to do this e.g. Adobe Photoshop.

Many font editors could save the file as a PFB (for instance
Macromedia Fontographer). There are free tools on the web for PFB to
PFA conversion; or alternatively this is not a difficult conversion -
the PFB format is described in the type 1 font format book.  I don't
know of tools to convert to a type 42 font.

Thank you very much Anadi. 

1) Convert JPG to EPS - I found a tool 'ImageMagick' and I have coverted JPG to EPS using this tool. However, it's created file which contain PS program with hexadecimal data and it's too big. So, do I need to create a PROC using this EPS code in my PS file (which creates report) to position particular location. Is that the way it works ? (or) Is there any way I can call this EPS file into my PS file. Please advice me. 

I will be working fonts once I achieve this. 

I really appreciate if could respond to this. 

Thanks, 
Chan

In general, no you can't create a procedure. Sometimes you can. Most
people find they have to include the whole EPS every time, on every
page.  And this does indeed make for huge print files!

I'm confused: are you talking about two different logos? If the logo
is a JPEG, it's all been rasterized, and whatever fonts may have gone
into its creation are no longer present. If you can get original
vector artwork from which the JPEG was made, any fonts in it can
probably be turned into outlines by the program that created it --
assuming it was done with a professional illustration application,
that is. Unless the logo is very complex a vector version will likely
be much smaller than an uncompressed raster version, and it will
probably print with much better quality in any case.
