Note: You may need to use the scroll bar on the right to find this option. If you do not

Note: You may need to use the scroll bar on the right to find this option.
In the same window, uncheck the option for Rely on system fonts only; do not use
document fonts:
8. You will now be prompted to name your figure. Be sure the word Fig or
Figure and the appropriate figure number are in the figure name (for instance,
Fig1.pdf):
If you must include other text in the filename, try to keep it relatively short (less than 25
characters), and be sure to save your figure in a location that is easily accessible to you.
Once the PDF has been created, it will automatically open on your screen. Review the
file carefully to ensure that all rules and text are legible and correct.
Part 3 Ensuring your fonts have been embedded.
Its a good idea to check the first file youve converted to ensure that all fonts are now
properly embedded. If they are not, you should contact your ASCE Coordinator for
troubleshooting advice.
1. With the PDF file still on your screen, navigate to the File menu and select
Properties:
This will bring up a list of all the fonts used in the document:
After each font, look for the words (Embedded) or (Embedded Subset) as in the image
above. This indicates that the font has been fully embedded into the document, and is
now eligible to be published in an ASCE Journal.
**Note: If you do not see the words (Embedded) or (Embedded Subset) after each
font, you may have used a font that cannot be embedded in a PDF. Please select a
different font in your original document and recreate the PDF.**
3. Press Cancel:
This will return you to the PDF file, which you may now close. Repeat the procedures in
Step 2 for each of your figure files, and then upload the files to ASCE using Editorial
Manager.
