The "one or more fonts is not embedded" font issue appears for IEEE articles

Explanation of the problem:

I ' m getting the error "A PDF font is not embedded." What can I do?

This error occurs if a PDF document does not include all of the fonts that it references. This could cause fonts to being substituted when printing or rendering, yielding papers that has incorrect spacing or equation S. IEEE, ACM and other publishers require all fonts to be embedded.

Hints on fixing this problem can is found at IEEE or Paperplaza or DVIPDFM.

NSF also publishes a set of related suggestions for generating PDF.

If you is using Adobe Acrobat to produce the PDF, check the ' Press quality ' option in the Print menu.

To check if all fonts is embedded, open the PDF of the paper or the figure in Acrobat and check under "File/document Prop Erties/fonts "(Windows) or" file/properties/fonts "(MacOS). All fonts must say "embedded" or "Embedded-subset". (The precise location of the menu option is depend on the version of Adobe Acrobat.)

The IEEE maintains a set of Acrobat job options and templates. ACM SIGGRAPH has also published a set of hints. Another set of hints is compiled by USENIX.

For MacOS, you can open the file in Preview and save the document to another file. This would embed all the fonts. Also, Microsoft Word on MacOS exports proper PDF with embedded fonts.

Gnuplot-generated PostScript often have this problem. Mohit Lad recommends the Following:by default, gnuplot does not embed fonts in EPS files; Insert this on your gnuplot script (note the is the font size and can be changed).

Set Terminal PostScript EPS enhanced "Nimbussanl-regu" Fontfile "UHVR8A.PFB" 26

If You use a MATLAB figures, you need to use export_fig and then generate the PDF file using Pdflatex.

If you convert a Postscript to a PDF using ps2pdf, use the following arguments:

Ps2pdf-dembedallfonts=true-dsubsetfonts=true-depscrop=true-dpdfsettings=/prepress Graph.eps

Also try the command above if your LaTeX file produces an embedded-font error.

For EPS files generated by xmgrace, one should deactivate the Option ' Use device fonts ' in the Xmgrace Print Setup window.

It has been reported that Freepdfconvert and cutepdf properly include fonts. The CutePDF support page indicates the configuration file,%program files%\acro software\cutepdf writer\pdfwrite.rsp, May contain the parameter compatibilitylevel=1.5 to generate PDF files with version 1.5.

My problem is that I used MATLAB to generate the EPS document that uses the font Helvetica, which is not an embedded font, the PDF document generated in Latex is not widely read.

Using the Foxit PDF Printer (foxit virtual printer) or Foxit PDF Creator, the latex-generated PDF is regenerated again.

Method:

To print the document, select Foxit PDF Printer, click on the "Properties, click on the" Font "property in the Pop-up dialog, and in the" Embedded Fonts "column, select" Embed a list using the following font "
