This feature is useful if you share documents with other users who may have different computer system configurations. You can embed TrueType fonts in a document to maintain font appearance and page breaks. However, if you share a document containing fonts other than TrueType, and those fonts are not installed on the system being used to view the document, the user can substitute other fonts as desired. The Use printer metrics to lay out document option on the Compatibility page of the Options dialog box does not permanently change the document. If you want to restore the document to its original appearance, you can deselect the option.
Procedures Select the Tools menu.
Select the Options command. Select the Compatibility tab. Under Options, select the Use printer metrics to lay out document option. This button appears on the vertical scroll bar, between the Previous and Next buttons and controls their functionality. By default, the Previous and Next buttons are set to the Browse by Page option and, when you click either of these buttons, the next or previous page of the document appears accordingly.
