To embed missing fonts

Use this task to embed missing fonts in your PDF document as part of an Action List or Preflight Profile.

Note: If you want to use the Monotype Baseline platform, you must have set it up first. (see To set up the Monotype Baseline platform).

Open the Hot Folder you want to use.
In the PitStop Server Hot Folder Editor, select the Fonts category.
In the Monotype area, select the appropriate option:
- To take into account your general Switch Server user preferences (see the Fonts category), select Use general preferences.
- To only embed fonts that are available on your local system, select Never download fonts. If fonts are unavailable, a warning will be displayed in the Preflight Report.
- To make use of the Monotype Baseline Platform, select Download missing fonts and enter your authentication key.
  Note: When preflighting, tokens are only used if all other preflight checks are successful.
Switch to the Action Lists and Preflight Profile category and define an Action List or Preflight Profile. Use one of the following:
- Action List: Embed Non-Base14 Fonts
- Action: Embed font
- Preflight check/fix: Fonts > Not embedded (Embed font attribute)
In addition to the other checks and fixes, PitStop Server will search for missing fonts and embed them if possible.
