Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard

Add more folders to Distiller font searches

In addition to the default font folders, Distiller can also search other font folders that you specify.

  1. Start Acrobat Distiller by doing one of the following:

    • In Acrobat, choose Advanced > Print Production > Acrobat Distiller.

    • Click or double-click an Acrobat Distiller icon or shortcut on the desktop, Start menu (Windows), or Dock (Mac OS).

  2. Choose Settings > Font Locations. The dialog box displays a list of the folders that Distiller searches for fonts. These folders can be on your hard drive or on a network.

    Distiller indicates that a font folder is available by displaying a folder icon to the left of the folder name. If no icon appears, or if an icon with an x through it appears with a folder name, the connection to the folder has probably been lost. You’ll need to reestablish the connection.

  3. To add a font folder, click Add, select the folder to add, and click OK (Windows) or Select Folder (Mac OS).
    Note: To provide Distiller with access to a font folder that has been moved, use this dialog box to remove the folder listed in its old location and add it in its new location.
  4. To remove a font folder, select the folder, and click Remove.
  5. Select Ignore TrueType Versions Of Standard PostScript Fonts to exclude TrueType fonts that have the same name as a font in the PostScript 3 font collection.
  6. Click OK.
