Computers Need some PDF transferring help

**The Bad Guy** · 09-15-2013, 10:05 AM

My wife is looking to start selling birthday invitations/newsletters on Etsy and my big concern right now is that the fonts she has on her computer won't transfer on the invitations when she sends them to customers.

What can I do to help resolve this? Do I have to purchase Adobe to preserve the fonts on the document even if the people don't have them on their computer?

I tried this with invitations she made that I sent to staples to print but the font didn't transfer that we had and that made the invitations look like garbage.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I BELIEVE that Adobe will embed the fonts into the file to make sure they stay consistent, but not 100% sure of that.

What program is she using to create them? I'm happy to test converting it if it's a common type. I've got Acrobat X Pro.

Or I could...uh...help you find a way to "try out" Acrobat yourself.

There is an option in Acrobat to imbed used fonts within the document.

Also, please refer to the program by its name. It drives me nuts when people call it Adobe. Adobe is a company, not a piece of software. You don't make spreadsheets in Microsoft do you?

You'll need Adobe if you want the customer to insert the critical information to make the invitation usable. There are too many variables with MS Word...too many versions I should say.
