The Font settings allows you to set whether fonts are embedded or not when converting word documents (.doc or .docx) to PDFs. It also allows you to set a fallback font to be used when the font does not exist on the server.
Note: By default PAS will use the DroidSansFallbackFull.ttf font that has been packaged with the installer as a fallback font.
To open the Font Settings dialog:
Go to Settings > Font Settings
Do not embed fonts - fonts will not be embedded in the document when converted. Instead fonts will be referenced by name within the document and it will be up to the PDF viewer to find the font on the system to be displayed when viewing the document.
Embed fonts - fonts will be embedded into the PDF document when converted.
When embedding fails - Determines what PAS will do if the font named in the Word document does not exist on the server.
Note: When converting a word document PAS will first look for the font on the system, then will attempt to find the characters within the fallback font set. If no characters are found within either the system or fallback font the entire document will fail conversion. It's important that, when selecting a fallback, a font is chosen with as many characters as possible to avoid conversion failures.
Fallback font - enter the complete file path to the location of the font file (.ttf) on the server.
Note: This directory is local to where the server is running not the PAS Manager and so the file path must follow the format set by the OS of the server.
