Prepress
Font Embedding
Including font data inside a PDF so the printer doesn't need the original font files.
Why it matters
Font Embedding is part of the prepress phase of a print job. Marketers who understand it can brief printers more clearly and avoid costly proofing rounds.
In your workflow
- → Confirm specifications with your printer before file delivery.
- → Document standards in your brand guidelines so every job is consistent.
- → Always request a hard proof for large runs.
