In the spirit of open source, I would prefer the OOo developers to give the user the choice of not embedding the fonts. They can bury it in some menus and not set it by default so that it takes the users some effort to shoot themselves in the foot.
That said, Ubuntu does offer a workaround: simply do File... Print... and choose "PDF" as a printer. By default, the resulting file will be dropped into the directory ~/PDF and will not contain embedded fonts. Of course, you will be missing out on OOo's fancy PDF customization options, but at least, you will have a tiny PDF file. -- [Upstream] [hardy] OpenOffice embeds full fonts into pdf/ps files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23573 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
