PostScript can make a copy of your fonts and send them along with the instructions for printing your file. This is great when you print to a file. If you make a PostScript file with your fonts embedded in it, then anywhere you send it your fonts will travel with it. Adobe Distiller uses a PostScript version of your file to make your document portable. If you embed your fonts into the PostScript, they will be embedded into the PDF file too.
PostScript instructions are only possible for certain printers, like high-end laserwriters.
Inkjet printers normally cannot read or be used to generate PostScript files. Questions or suggestions regarding this web site should be directed to EDT Support at ETSU .
