How to embed custom fonts in MS Office

  1. Click the File tab > Options (bottom left corner)
  2. In the left column, select the Save tab.
  3. Under Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation: select the Embed fonts in the file check box.
    1. Option 1 - Embed only the characters used in the presentation: reduces the file size but limits editing of the file using the same font.
    2. Option 2 (Recommended) - Embed all characters: increases the file size, but is best for allowing others to edit the document and keep the same font.
  4. Click OK.

I'm experiencing a conversion issue with a MS Office File. How can I resolve this?

An issue during conversion could be caused by "read-only fonts" within the MS Office file. These fonts cannot be embedded, leading to problems when converting PowerPoint files to PDF. Upon opening the file on your device, a warning will indicate the problematic read-only font with a pop-up window.

To resolve this: Open the MS Office file on your device > replace the font causing issues by clicking on 'Editing', and then the arrow next to 'Replace' > finally, select 'Replace Fonts'.
