Conversions with Missing Profiles

When creating a PDF document, the best practice is to embed all the fonts the document needs directly in the file. That way, software used to open the PDF (such as Adobe Reader or Acrobat) does not need to search for fonts on the local system or provide substitutes.

When creating a PDF document, the best practice is to embed all the fonts the document needs directly in the file. That way, software used to open the PDF (such as Adobe Reader or Acrobat) does not need to search for fonts on the local system or provide substitutes.

Likewise, before PDF2IMG starts converting a PDF document to a graphic file, it will look for the needed fonts within the PDF document itself.

If the fonts are not embedded, PDF2IMG will try to make use of font resources found on the system. PDF2IMG can use environment variables to determine where to find those font resources.

Alternatively, PDF2IMG ships with its own internal font and CMap resources. These font resource files are copied to the installation directory when you install the product.
