For each font embedded, InCopy can embed the entire font or just a subset—the particular characters, called glyphs,
used in the file. Subsetting ensures that your fonts and font metrics are used at print time by creating a custom font
name. The subsetting options you choose affect disk space and your ability to do late-stage editing.
If InCopy cannot embed a font, it temporarily substitutes the font with a Multiple Master typeface: either AdobeSerMM
for a missing serif font, or AdobeSanMM for a missing sans serif font.
These typefaces can stretch or condense to fit, to ensure that line and page breaks are maintained from the original
document. The substitution cannot always match the shape of the original characters, however, especially if the
characters are unconventional ones, such as script typefaces.
About compression
When exporting to Adobe PDF, InCopy automatically downsamples images, crops image data to the image’s frame, and
compresses text and line art using the lossless ZIP method. ZIP works well on images with large areas of single colors
or repeating patterns, and for black-and-white images that contain repeating patterns. Because InCopy uses the lossless
ZIP method, data is not removed to reduce file size, so image quality is not affected.

Exporting to Adobe PDF
Export an InCopy document to Adobe PDF
You can export InCopy documents directly to Adobe PDF. You can export in the Galley, Story, or Layout view. If you
export in Layout view, the result is a PDF document with layout and design elements intact. In contrast, a document
exported in Galley or Story view resembles the text-only look that you see in Galley or Story view within InCopy. You
might want to export the Galley or Story view of an InCopy story to PDF for writers, editors, and others in a document-
review cycle who may not have InCopy on their computers. The PDF document has the same advantages that an
InCopy Galley and Story view offers, including maximum text readability and annotation features.
Note: Adobe PDF files exported from Adobe InDesign® documents that contain overprints or transparency effects are best
viewed in Acrobat 6.0 and later with the Overprint Preview option selected.
