Crystal Reports for Visual Studio, to explicitly embed the fonts used in the PDF file

[smiyazawa]

I have an application program created with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. I want to output the report as a PDF file. Is it possible to explicitly embed the fonts used in the PDF file?

This is not directly supported by the Crystal runtime. But you can take care of that aspect in your own code immediately after the export.

For example, my Crystal Reports automation software includes an option to convert the exported PDF file to PDF/A mode.

Thank you very much for the great information. I learned a lot.

You don't have to take care of this. When using ReportDocument.Export, a font subset of all characters used is embedded by default.

Except when using Licensed Fonts, for legal reason CR will not embed the font so use Ido's solution.
