    Hi

    I have each page designed in a different PSD, and exported them as JPG's then imported into In-Design to lay them all out properly and exported again as a PDF.

    However, I've been told the fonts are not embedded? and that I need to export the fonts in Photoshop (then again into In-Design I'm guessing) so they can resize at a later date? i.e as if they were vectors?

    But I don't get it...

    If the Fonts are converted to vectors, then surely the font would still not be needed as a vector does not need the font file to reference as it would then be a shape?

    Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong and what I'm supposed to be doing here?

    Thanks

      Who is telling you the fonts are not embedded? You are correct that rasterized type (or outlined) won't reference a font file, so that shouldn't be a problem, but you really should be exporting everything as a vector. I'd recommend using InDesign to design the pages and then export a regular PDF from there.

        I was thinking of attempting to copy and paste the text over to In-Design and re-working it from there later, but hoped there was a quicker solution.

        But yeah, its weird, its a guy that deals with the Distribution for TuneCore I think? He was like 'Your Fonts are not Embeded?' and I was puzzled.

        I think they are for some reason used to seeing Fonts attached to PDF files and because mine is not they have flagged it.

        I didn't even see the PDF Font Embed options on Export in either Photoshop or In-Design CS6?
