For example, Microsoft Word prints by using the information in the file that you are working with as well as information stored on your computer, such as font and color settings. Most file formats you use to print at home or in your office are not designed to include all of the information that a professional print provider would need. Why PDFs are the preferred file format for printing
Corrupted fonts, incompatible fonts, or fonts that are missing altogether are issues that can easily be avoided by embedding your fonts into your PDFs.
Some of the most frequent issues print providers encounter with customer files are regarding fonts.
A PDF can be set up to give your printing company all of the pertinent information they need to effectively print your design project while avoiding problems and delays. PDFs are the preferred file format for most, if not all, professional print providers.
