![]() ![]() – PDFs generated by the current version of InDesign (as of February 2019) from InDesign documents using SVG fonts and embedding them as Type 3 fonts (live text) are already syntactically incorrect OK, let’s try pdfToolbox… No better, the software generates an outlining process error … not without having destroyed the police during the outline attempt! We now try to outline the font to allow the color conversion and PDF/X-1a:2001 compliance.Īh, but no, PitStop Pro does not allow the outlining process (which is normal, the font being Type 3, the content of each glyph is not known – indeed, a Type 3 can contain anything, which is clearly the case here, isn’t it? □ Let’s try to outline the font to overcome the issues… PdfToolbox is more extreme, the conversion will be processed… but the result is completely wrong as the font has been destroyed! …but an attempt to convert to PDF/X-1a:2001 will result of an error, as the file contains RGB! Indeed, the Trajan Color will be converted into two separate fonts, the space glyph being in Type 1 and the rest of the font in Type 3!Įven if the font is colored (RGB), the inspectors of the various tested software (Acrobat, Enfocus PitStop Pro, callas pdfToolbox) evaluate the font as 100% K.ĭepending on the software, the behavior will be different, but it is impossible to obtain a correct result.įor PitStop Pro, there is nothing to be converted (of course, because the text is 100% black…)… Let’s focus now on a PDF with live text (no PDF/X-1a:2001) Type 1 & Type 3 mix? When I say no problem, this is not completely true, it will highly depend on your authoring tool! If InDesign does not generate any particular problem (as far as I tested to date), Illustrator hasn’t correctly outlined the Trajan Color font, and the embossing effect is partly lost on characters… Text is outlined, and no particular problem is found, unless the text is obviously not editable anymore. However, if I choose to convert my source file to PDF/X-1a: 2001, the text will be outlined and converted to CMYK. It is also the case if I choose a PDF/X-4:2010 conversion. If the joboptions does not contain any color conversion, the text is not converted into any other color mode. When exporting to PDF, without any specific standard, the text remains live, but the font is embedded in Type 3 or a mix of Type 1 & Type 3. What is happening when I create a PDF file from a document containing those fonts?īy exporting from InDesign or Illustrator, the result depends on the joboptions choice. They are now supported in the Adobe CC 2019 suite (this was already the case for Illustrator CC 2018) and Adobe offers two of them, Emoji One and Trajan Color (you can find others on the web too). ![]() These new fonts, mostly dedicated to the web, contain colored glyphs (in RGB colorspace) and are not monochromatic, as traditional fonts. Have you heard about OpenType SVG fonts ? ![]()
