Manually checking for missing fonts

Use this task to manually check for missing fonts in your PDF document on a case-per-case basis. You can then embed the missing system fonts (if any), and decide whether or not to buy the other missing fonts from Monotype.

In the menu bar, click PitStop Pro > Fix Missing Fonts.
If you have set up the Monotype Baseline platform, PitStop Pro will immediately start checking the document for missing fonts. Proceed with step 3 of this procedure.
If you haven't set up the Monotype Baseline platform, a dialog pops up. Proceed with the next step.
In the Configure Monotype Baseline Account dialog, do one of the following:
- If you only want to check if the missing fonts are available on your local system, click Continue without Registration.
- If you also want to check if the missing fonts are available in the Monotype Baseline platform:
  1. Click the appropriate link (Register for an online account or Retrieve your Authentication Key here).
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. Enter your authentication code in the Authentication Key field.
  4. Click Continue.
PitStop Pro:
1. Checks the PDF document for missing fonts.
2. If any, looks for them firstly on your local system.
3. If not found, and if you have entered a valid security token, looks for them in the Monotype Baseline platform.
4. If any fonts are missing, opens the Fix Missing Fonts dialog.
If the Fix Missing Fonts dialog opens:
- Locate the missing fonts and preview how your document would look with the missing fonts embedded.
- Decide whether you want to buy the missing fonts from Monotype Imaging Inc.
- To only embed the missing fonts that are available on your local system (listed in the Available on system (free) section), click Fix Fonts From System (Free). This is a free service.
- To embed the missing fonts that are available for download from the Monotype platform (listed in the Available for download section), click Fix All Fonts.
- To continue without embedding any fonts, click Cancel.
The number of tokens (i.e. licenses to embed a subset) needed to download all missing fonts from Monotype is put in brackets. If there are more missing fonts than you have tokens, you have to buy extra tokens first (https://baseline.monotype.com/BuyCredits). For more information, refer to Fix Missing Fonts dialog: sections and buttons.

Note: If you haven't set up the Monotype Baseline platform, PitStop Pro doesn't know whether or not the missing fonts are available for download. The Available for download section will be grayed out.

After embedding the downloaded fonts, PitStop Pro does not save the document automatically. Do not forget to save it yourself, if you want to keep your changes!
