Chapter 7. Indexing and loading 167
We recommend that you use only the base 14 fonts when you create PDF documents. 
Because these fonts are not embedded in the document, documents that are created with 
these fonts are smaller, and the resource file is also smaller.
Accessing fonts
If a document references fonts that are not embedded and fonts that are not available on the 
system, the document does not display correctly in the report wizard, and the PDF Indexer 
cannot index it. In the report wizard, the document might display as a series of dots instead of 
letters; the PDF Indexer fails with the “Trigger not found” message.
If your documents contain Asian fonts, ensure that you install them when you install Adobe 
Acrobat.
If the fonts are not embedded in the document, use the FONTLIB parameter to tell the PDF 
Indexer the location of font files. 
Listing fonts in a PDF file
If you want to know the fonts that are contained in a PDF document, a simple method within 
the Adobe viewer is available to list the fonts in your data. 
Follow these steps to list the fonts in a PDF (for example, for Adobe Reader XI, version 
11.0.3):
1. Display your PDF document in the Adobe viewer (or reader). 
2. Click File → Document Properties → Fonts. Y ou will see a list of fonts for the document.
The path to see the fonts might differ, depending on your viewer version.
7.3.2  Reducing output file size with PDF documents
When you index PDF data, you might be surprised by the size of the output file that the PDF 
Indexer creates after it indexes the data. In certain cases, the PDF file that is loaded into 
Content Manager OnDemand is many times larger than the source PDF file. 
When the input file is indexed, it is split into multiple PDF documents. Each PDF document 
contains its own set of PDF structures that are required by the PDF architecture. For this 
reason, the multiple PDF documents that are created by the indexing can be larger in total 
than the original PDF document.
One way to reduce the size of the output file is using the base 14 fonts.
