This indicates a subset font – a font where only a few characters (glyphs) have been bundled into the file. Notice that some of these font names are prefixed with random letters. You can easily deduce the different types of fonts here. In Infix, under Document -> Fonts, you’ll see a list of the fonts used in your PDF file. Subsetting is ideal if the PDF won’t be edited, since it helps to keep the file size low, but it means that editing is problematic since you probably won’t have all the letters and symbols you need to make changes. The other is subsetting, where only part of the character set is built-in to the PDF.If the entire font character set is embedded, editing is straightforward. One is embedding, where the entire font character set is included in the file.There are two ways a font can be ‘bundled’ inside a PDF file when it is saved. Understanding Embedded and Subset PDF Fonts ![]() When working with Infix, you might find that some PDFs can’t be edited immediately because of the way the fonts are packaged into the file. However, viewing and editing PDFs are two different things. That’s because the fonts you use are embedded into the file, ensuring that every reader will see the document exactly as you prepared it. When you distribute a PDF, you don’t usually have to worry about its appearance on the recipient’s computer.
