Embedding fonts

Some journals and conferences require all fonts to be embedded when the paper is submitted. Here are some tips on how to do it, thanks to Teo de Campos (except where stated).

Embedding fonts in complete pdf documents

• This works on a MAC only: Open the PDF in Preview, and then save it again. It's saved with fonts embedded. (Thanks Andrew Eckford.)
• On Linux, run this command:

  gs -dSAFER -dNOPLATFONTS -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true -r600x600 -sOutputFile=paperPDFexpress.pdf paper.pdf

Embedding fonts in images

Try something like:

foreach f(`find . -iname '*.pdf' `)
echo $f
pdf2ps $f $f[1]:r.ps
end

If you are required to provide separate Postscript images, you can do something similar:

foreach f(`find . -iname '*.png' -o  -iname '*.jpg' `)
echo $f
convert $f $f[1]:r.eps
end

Next: compile using latex and dvips, and upload the PS/EPS file(s) (not the source, not the PDF)
