What should I do if fonts in my PDF don't appear correctly when printed?

When PDFs are processed for printing, custom fonts can default to generic substitutes if they are not properly embedded in the file. Embedding your fonts before you upload is the reliable way to prevent this.

• Embed the fonts: save or export your PDF with fonts embedded so they travel with the file.
• Outline as a backup: converting text to outlines or curves removes font dependence entirely for logos and headlines.
• Check the proof: review your online proof carefully and confirm every font renders as intended before final production.

If a printing error occurs because a font was substituted, contact 4OVER4 support with samples showing the difference between your proof and the printed output, and the team can help resolve it.
