Background: I used to receive individual PDFs from authors as submitted papers to create a conference proceedings CD and a printed proceedings as well. Fonts were not always embedded so I've used mostly PitStop to deal with those issues. Even if all of the individual papers had all fonts embedded (coulb be 1,000 or more authors) the workflow the printer used was acceptable. I sequenced them, put on footers, page numbers, built a TOC and author index. They were printed on a laser printer as camera-ready and made paper plates for the press.
Current: Now the printer wants a composite file since they will be using a docutech or equivalent for printing and not the offset press. I recall running into issues when I tried to combine them if a font was used on one system for a paper and the same named font from another system in another paper. The composite file caused odd kerning and spacing issues. Is it possible to build a composite file and send it to the printer without any font issues if each paper has all fonts embedded? What if all but the base 14 are not embedded - will that create an issue?
If anyone is combining files like this to send to a docutech I'd be interested in how youn deal with font issues.
Thanks in advance, Glenn
