General Software Discussion / How do I control font size in PDF?
« on: November 14, 2013, 01:14 PM »
Hi,
I am not familiar with how fonts are used in a PDF document, but quite often, I do need to convert MS WORD docx documents to PDF (for reading purpose).
I notice that I can save a docx file as a PDF document from MS WORD 2010 and its save option also lets me control how the PDF file is being generated, but it seems that I can't control:
1. The font type in the output PDF
I suppose I can embed the font as used by the source docx file into the PDF, but I just couldn't figure out how to do that?
2. I also don't know how to control the size of a font in PDF when it is being view at 100% document size.
Could anyone recommend a utility, sort of WORD to PDF converter that can do the above mentioned?
I don't mind paying a shareware price (definitely don't want to pay high price like Adobe Acrobat) for it, but I do require the converter program to be hyperlink aware. i.e. it must be aware of hyperlinks in a docx source and make sure they also exist in the output PDF (like what MS WORD save as PDF does)
