Say I have a specific font myfont.ttf on my own computer.

I have a PDF file created by another software, which uses this font.

Then I use beamer (PDFlatex) to include this PDF file the final output file.

Is it possible during the compilation from beamer, to include this font to the final PDF file?

    In a pdflatex produced pdf the font subsets used in the document are automatically embedded. Included pdfs are just inlined as-is. Also I'd be very careful with embedding whole fonts, as most licences forbid this. – Henri Menke Dec 30 '15 at 09:19
  • http://www.myfontfree.com/bradley-hand-itc-myfontfreecom126f36994.htm Does this mean they are free? Just to double check again, I dont really understand what does it mean by "the font subsets used in the document are automatically embedded"? Because when I bring the document to another computer,which the font is not installed, the PDF files would not display correctly where that particular font was used. And when I check the PDF file, I can clearly see that "bradley hand itc" was NOT embedded. – Chen Stats Yu Dec 30 '15 at 15:35

    This font is not free. The location you posted is offering the font for free illegally. To purchase a license go to fonts.com. – Henri Menke Dec 30 '15 at 16:30

    Bradley Hand ITC comes with Microsoft Windows. Adobe Acrobat for Windows has the “feature” that it cannot correctly display documents with embeded TrueType fonts which are already installed in Windows. – Henri Menke Dec 30 '15 at 16:30

    @HenriMenke Good grief. Why on Earth do they do that? – cfr Dec 31 '15 at 03:17
  • Note that the first of the links includes the kind of strategies you want i.e. the cases for inclusion of external images. You either need to pre-process the images or process them on-the-fly as part of the compilation process. – cfr Dec 31 '15 at 03:21
