What is the purpose of the 'Pdf embedded' option of the Static Text element in iReport 5.6.0?


Does anyone know what the 'Pdf embedded' option in Text properties of the Static Text element's attribute is used for in iReport Designer 5.6.0?

Solution

  • I had the same question just today. But I took a look in the official page bellow, and the Summary says:

    Unless you are okay with your PDF potentially being rendered with a default/native PDF specification font, or unless you are confident your client machines will always have the fonts installed, you need to use the "embed..." checkbox while creating your font extension

    Because the font is needed in others clients to render correctly.

    PS: sorry my English..
