saving PDF files, converting fonts to vectors

Post by nimbus »

Hey there,
I'm not sure what kind of product of yours does the job I urgently need:
- open PDF-files with embedded fonts
- save them again, but wiht all fonts converted to vectors
How can I do this?
What product should I buy?
Thank you!

Hi,

None of our products can make such things for now.
the Viewer converts fonts to a set of curves for rendering, but storing the converted info into PDF isn't available.

When attaching files to any message - please ensure they are archived and posted as a .ZIP, .RAR or .7z format - or they will not be posted - thanks.

Well - too bad.
But I've found a solution ... since your product prints using vectors not fonts.
Print with a Postscript-Driver and redirect the output to a file.
Thanks anyway.

Pleased you found a viable solution.
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.
