Hi,
my preflight reports that the PDF contains TrueType fonts that do not comply with the PDF/X-4 standard.
What action can I take to make these TrueType fonts compatible with the PDF/X-4 standard?
Can TrueType fonts be converted to CFF?
Thanks
yosimo

Re: How to make TrueType fonts compatible with the PDF/X-4 standard?
I don't think there's a way to do that with PitStop. It would require quite detailed font editing, which is more the domain of font editing programs. I think your best bet is to unembed if necessary, then re-embed a correct version of the font.
Re: How to make TrueType fonts compatible with the PDF/X-4 standard?
The files are supplied by our customers. I have no possibility of exchanging fonts. We don't even have some of these fonts. The cause is probably an error when creating the PDFs.
I thought that if PitStop can recognize the error, then perhaps PitStop could also correct it. Preflight tools from other manufacturers can do this.

Can you share your file? I would love to test that competition capability of such a fix.

Yes, of course. I have uploaded two files here:

Thank you very much.

Thanks,
But I just run a PDF/X-4 (including fixes) in a competition software and this peculiar issue is not fixed neither. What is the software you are referring to?

Hi Loïc,
the PDFToolbox from Callas offers a fixup “Remove additional encoding entries in cmap of symbolic TrueType fonts”. This corrects the PDF.
There is also a test that can be carried out in advance.

Thanks for pointing this out. Indeed you are right and we will look at how we can improve PitStop behaviour in that field.
