Today's build of Global Mapper v24.0 (b120322) fully supports embedding special fonts such as Myriad Web Pro Condensed as well as explicitly defining Adobe PDF formatting versions - see attached example [Mapping Epping Base Line - Overview Epping Base Line Monuments.pdf]. Huge thanks and much appreciation to Mike Childs in particular, and to Blue Marble Geographics for exposing these new commands to Global Mapper scripting.

 

Issue 1 - AfPub2 can't seem to recognize the PDF correctly, although Acrobat Reader does:

Issue 2 - AfPub2 appears to have problems in recognizing the embedded font, but only after the "Fix" (passthrough to interpreted). Ignoring the preflight warning and exporting the PDF anyway from AfPub2 didn't appear to corrupt the embedded fonts

Hi @Kelly Bellis Sorry for the delay, we are still very busy since our V2 apps launch.

The first issue may relate to the Preflight setting for the warning, on the Preflight studio click the 3 lines icon and select Edit Profile. Scroll down to PDF Passthrough, by default this is set to warn if the PDF isn't PDF/X. If you change this to PDF 1.7 the warning will be removed.

In reference to the missing font, we don't use the fonts embedded within the PDF, they have to be installed within the system for our app to use them correctly. This is how our PDF document imported is currently designed.
