Hi,
I used WIN7, Firefox and Distiller (11.0.2322 pro) to create PDF from WebSites and it works fine up to now. The problems started after an OS update to WIN10. The file size of the PDF doubles and Arial-BoldMT and ArialMT are now an "Embedded Subset". I think, that's the reason for the double PDF filesize.
I have cloned WIN7 to a new SSD and made an upgrade to WIN10 (no "clean" installation).
My tests:
- checked the filenames (ttf = Arial, PS = ArialMT) with FontForge.
- if I switch back to WIN7 (change boot order), the PDF was created without "Embedded Subset". (Arial Version 5.20)
- if I use WIN10 and modify the CSS to Verdana, the form was destroyed (Verdana is a little bit wider) but no "Embedded Subset" was created and the file size is OK - so I think, "Arial" is the problem.
- if I use "Helvetica, sans-serife" or "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" in the CSS, Arial Version 7.00 was used, the file size is doubled and an "Embedded Subset" was created.
Any ideas??
Regards,
Manu
