I have used Macromedia Freehand to design some artwork for my company.

I exported it as a PDF and emailed it to my printers. When I recieved the artwork back all the fonts were incorrect the printer say that the Mac they use will change the fonts for random fonts but the PC opened with incorrect fonts also.

My question is when the PDF is opened should it alert the person opening it that the required fonts are not available or does it just choose any font to display?

Thanks

Mike

No.

In fact if the printer is worth their salt, they would check to see if the fonts are embedded before they go and print a proof.

Fonts are the biggest problem when it comes to printing so that, in my opinion, shows their lack of experience.

You need to choose to embed all fonts when you create the PDF.
