Embedding fonts in a pdf made with pdflatex, linux

$ pdf2ps file.pdf
$ ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress file.ps file-w-embedded-fonts.pdf

(If you don't do this, then the software reading the pdf may make
font substitutions.  This matters if it is proprietary software used by
some printer, for instance.)

  1. Incidentally, to embed fonts in a pdf exported from a .odt file, choose the PDF/A-1a option under the General tab in LibreOffice Writer.
