text(subset)

Enables you to control how fonts are embedded in PDF documents.

• ascii_8 embeds the basic 256-character fonts.
• resident_8 does not embed any fonts, reducing the PDF size. The viewing system needs to have the required fonts.
• unicode_8, the default, embeds the required font segments and references characters with 8-bit values.
• unicode_16 embeds the required fonts and references the characters with 16-bit values (unicode).
• subset generates and embeds fonts that contain only the characters used by the PDF, reducing PDF size. Available only for Version 6.0.0.1 and later.

text(x)

text(x, y)

Enables you to control how fonts are embedded in PDF documents.

The parameter(s) can be embed or resident.

Embed causes the fonts to be embedded into the PDF. You can also specify this value as:

• ascii_8
• unicode_8
• unicode_16
• subset

Resident does not embed the fonts but references them by name. You can also specify this value as resident_8. Your viewing system must have the required fonts to display the PDF file correctly.

If you specify one parameter only, the value is used for both system and document fonts. If you specify two parameters, the first one is used for system fonts and the second one for document fonts.

Embed generates larger PDF files, which can be viewed correctly on any system. Resident generates smaller PDF files, but relies on the viewing system having the fonts needed to display the file correctly.
