MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ palatino pdf

[Romae]

I have written a book and the printer demands a pdf/X-3 which should be possible with the Acrobate distiller. But it doesn't work, the distiller gives the message:
%%[ Error: Palatino-Roman not found. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%%.
Im using paltino:
Example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{t1enc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\pagestyle{plain}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{a4wide}
%\usepackage{pst-all}
%\usepackage{multido}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pplx}
\usepackage[euler-digits]{eulervm}
\linespread{1.08}           
\begin{document}
\section*{Example}
This is just an example 
$$\int^{b}_{a}\frac{x^2-2x}{b^x}dx$$
\end{document}

If I omit the line \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pplx} and use the standard cm, then it works, but I prefere Palatino. What can I do? I'm using MikTex2.7 and TexnicCenter.

I don't have access to Acrobat Distiller right now, but have you tried creating the PDF/X-3 with Ghostscript? Instructions here. It is possible you only have the URW Palladio Palatino clone installed, but I think Ghostscript would be smart enough to see past this, even if Acrobat doesn't, since it is one of the required fonts that comes with Ghostscript.

It also strikes me as a little odd that you load the Euler fonts with a package, but manually load Palatino for the Roman family, rather than using one of the packages that provides Palatino, like mathpazo or pxfonts. You could also try the tgpagella package, which provides TeX Gyre Pagella fonts. (These are almost indistinguishable from Palatino, but slightly extended.)

You should also try changing \usepackage{t1enc} to \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, since the former is obsolete.

With the package tgpagello everything works perfect, adobe distiller embeds all fonts!
I like the combination of palatino together with Euler for the formulas, for me, from an aesthetical point of view, it's the best choice, but "degustibus non est disputandum".
