Duplicate fonts in PDF (from figures)

Post by Amexonga »

I've searched for days trying to find a solution to this problem with no luck.

I'm writing a thesis in LaTeX which includes dozens of figures (each in pdf format with fonts embedded). The pdf output has embedded fonts from each figure, even though they are the same font. This means MANY duplicate fonts embedded, and being the obsessive compuslive individual I am, it bothers me. :oops:

Am I the only one with this problem? Should I just let it go and live with the duplicates?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
Hello.\\
\includegraphics{fig1}
\includegraphics{fig2}
\end{document}
Notes:
  • I use XeLaTeX but same result with pdfLaTeX
    Figures without embedded fonts make a final pdf without embedded fonts
    The figures were made in Illustrator and printed as pdf using "Press Quality" preset

Aha!

Use the "PDF Optimizer" feature in Acrobat Pro!!! :mrgreen:

Hopefully this helps someone save time...

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as clearly written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read before posting). Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.


Best regards and welcome to the board
