Font Embedding and Substitions in Adobe PDFs - When Create Adobe® PDF Online has access to a font used in a PostScript file, it can embed that font in the resulting Adobe PDF file. Embedding ensures that all readers will see the text in its original font and be able to print the file using the original fonts; however, embedding fonts increases file size.
I have a pdf file, and I want to know if I can embed/subset all its fonts into PDF file itself? Is there any tool supporting this operation?

You can export PDFs from InDesign with the fonts embedded, but that's assuming you have the fonts on your computer and can direct the program to those font files. I'd imagine Acrobat Pro supports this too. I'm not sure about editing the fonts in a PDF file that's already been generated, but if there's any tool that will let you do it, it's probably Acrobat Pro (not to be confused with Acrobat Reader).

Ghostscript can do that. One condition though: the font(s) referenced by the original PDF need to be present on the system where you run Ghostscript.
Here is an example command to run on Windows:
The resulting
Kurt PfeifleKurt Pfeifleoutput.pdf
should have all fonts embedded which input.pdf
didn't have. Just make sure that -sFONTPATH=..
contains (at least) one directory where the missing fonts are found by the gswin32c

The documentation for your PDF generation tool will explain how to enable embedding of fonts where possible. Be sure to follow the license of all fonts embedded in this manner.

I use
pdftk
to repair some failures in corrupted PDF files, but I faced another problem which is not fixed by pdftk
(or at least I do not know how to do so).I have PDF files with text based on
TrueType
fonts, but the fonts have not been embedded during PDF creation. Now I want to embed the required fonts to the existing files.Is there a command-line tool (like
pdftk
) to embed missing fonts by providing path to TTF
files?GooglebotGooglebot

You can use Ghostscript to embed missing fonts. Run the command like this:

I just had the same problem (on Ubuntu 14.04) and I found the following solution:
- install Acrobat Reader
- print 'print to file' into a postscript file ('foo.ps') and 'advanced -> print as image'
- then on the console use
ps2pdf foo.ps foo.pdf
and the result is a file with embedded fonts and the original content
The intermediate postscript file is much bigger (650KB) than the input file (56KB) but the resulting PDF is moderate in size again (82KB).
I do not know why this works, i.e.,
- why 'print as image to file' seems to create an image but also preserves font information,
- why ps2pdf recovers this font information, and
- why there are fonts in the resulting PDF at all because it should only be an image, right?.
But the result is a PDF with all fonts embedded and a size similar to the original file.
