Note
The setting will be reset if you select [Embed All Fonts], [Optimize with Region], or [Custom] and then change the option button selection.
For example, if you once select [Custom] and set items using [>>], selecting [Embed All Fonts] or [Optimize with Region], or selecting [Custom] again will reset the settings for that option.

## [Embed All Fonts]

Check this option if you want to embed all fonts used in the original document to the PDF file.
This enables the PDF file to be displayed in the same font and layout as the original document, even if the destination environment does not have the original fonts.
If [Embed All Fonts] is checked, the file size of the resulting PDF may greatly increase.
It is better to assess which fonts are likely to be available in the destination environment. In that case, you do not need to use [Embed All Fonts], and can select only specific fonts from the original document so that the file size can be reduced.
Note

- Fonts that are not allowed to be embedded will not be embedded, even if [Embed All Fonts] is checked.
  [Font List] does not display embed-prohibited fonts.
- If the original font is not embedded into the PDF file, and the font used in the PDF file is not detected at display time, then that font would be automatically replaced by a font that resembles the missing one.
  If a substitute font is used, the character spacing may become wider or narrower (line breaks are maintained as is).

## [Optimize with Region]

Selectable options are [Europe] and [Japan].
As per the region setting [Europe] or [Japan], the most appropriate fonts for the operating system of each region will be embedded into the PDF file.
Specifically, fonts that do not exist in the destination environment will be embedded into the PDF files. By setting the region, fonts are optimally apportioned between [Always Embed] and [Never Embed].

## [Custom]
[Font List]

The Font List displays the fonts installed in your computer.
Select fonts to be embedded or not to be embedded from the Font List and click the [>>] button for either [Always Embed] or [Never Embed].
When [Embed All Fonts] is selected, you cannot specify fonts.
Note
Fonts that are not allowed to be embedded will not be listed in the Font List.

## [Always Embed]

Displays fonts to be embedded in the PDF file.
Only the fonts displayed in the [Always Embed] List will be embedded into the PDF file. If you want to stop a font from being embedded, select the font, and click the [<<] button to return the font to the Font List.
Addendum
Fonts that were not used in the original document are not actually embedded even if they are displayed on the [Always Embed].

## [Never Embed]

Displays fonts not to be embedded in the PDF file.
The fonts displayed in [Never Embed] are not embedded in the PDF file.

## [Embed character from which the typeface is different from JIS2004 and JIS90]

This box is selected by default, but when using a PC with the JIS004 font installed, select this setting so that your file can be displayed on another PC.

## [Embedded a character code "0x5C(\)"]

This option is selected by default. Embedded a character code "0x5C(\)" will always embed "0x5C(\)" characters, regardless of the font embedding settings.
This function allows special characters such as "¥ (yen)" and "\ (backslash)" to be displayed as it was in the original application under any environment regardless of operating system and PDF viewer.
