Does Booksurge accept a Lyx generated pdf, or must it be further processed through acrobat?
1. If you have self published through Booksurge, please answer whether Booksurge accepts LyX generated pdfs. I will soon be self-publishing a book, preferably through Booksurge. Booksurge accepts PDF files, but only if they meet Booksurge specifications. However, they do not explain their specifications. Instead, they only explain the steps to save/print the PDF from various versions of adobe acrobat. In order to find out whether my pdf will meet their requirements they require full payment of their up-front fee. They will not provide any additional assistance in determining whether a LyX pdf meets their requirements. 2. Most of their specifications do not apply to me since this will be a black-and-white, no images, text only book. But one area is of more concern. They instruct: *"Under the fonts tab* ** * Deselect the "subset embedded fonts" option.* ** * Select ALL of the fonts under Font Source and add them to Always Embed."* These instructions are found here for acrobat version 8 http://www.booksurgepages.com/Downloads/TwoStepstoPDFv8.pdf In my Lyx generated PDF document under "Properties" the "Fonts" tab shows a long list of fonts and following each font is written: "(embedded subset) type 1, encoding: custom." Booksurge claims they could not answer whether "(embedded subset) type 1, encoding: custom" meets their requirements. Any opinions?
