Hi

I have a job where reports created with Crystal 8.5 need to be emailed 
to clients.  The issue is that Crystal 8.5 does not embed fonts and 
these reports have barcodes etc.

I have found synPDF which seems to be a great open source tool for 
creating PDFs but not editing them.  I can create a pdf from a metafile 
using this but can't export Crystal 8.5 to metafile. QuickPDF lite 
(free) allows editing of PDFs and you can embed standard fonts (a fixed 
small list of fonts) but not additional fonts.  You need the $500 USD 
full version for that.  Which is beyond the budget of this app (as is 
upgrading Crystal).

Does anyone have a suggestion of how to either, edit an existing PDF to 
embed fonts or how to get an existing pdf into something like synPDF 
that allows your so save it with fonts.

Thanks
Rob
