Font Creation selection: The choices are:
l
Simple fonts when possible (smallest size). This is the default option.
This option uses Simple fonts in cases where the fonts do not use too many
characters. It automatically switches to using composite fonts when the
number of characters becomes too large to fit a Simple font. This allows
omitting fonts that are considered "standard fonts" in the PDF reference, which
helps reduce file size.
The drawback to this option is that some PDF viewers do not support it
properly, which can cause viewing issues with jobs using non-Latin1 encoded
characters.
Note
A Simple font can be a Type1 font, a TrueType font or a Type3 font.
One of the main characteristics of a Simple font is that its glyphs are
selected using a single byte character code, limiting the number of
glyphs to a maximum of 256.
For more information on Simple fonts, see Abode's documentation
regarding Portable Document Format files.
