PrintPostScript.DownloadType1 property

Specifies whether Type 1 fonts should be downloaded

Syntax:

Property Get DownloadType1() As Boolean
Property Let DownloadType1(ByVal Value As Boolean)

Remarks:

The DownloadType1 property specifies a Boolean (True or False) value that indicates whether to download Type 1 fonts to a PostScript printer. If fonts are not downloaded to the printer (and they are not already installed on the printer), they print as curves or bitmaps.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates text strings in different fonts and prints them. The fonts are downloaded to the printer (if PostScript), and the document is printed again.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Dim n As Integer
  Dim dLeft As Double
  Dim dBottom As Double
  dLeft = 0.25
  dBottom = ActivePage.SizeHeight - 0.4
  For n = 1 To FontList.Count Step 5
    Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(dLeft, dBottom, "Some Text String")
    s.Text.FontProperties.Name = FontList(n)
    dBottom = dBottom - 0.4
  Next n
  With ActiveDocument
    .PrintSettings.PostScript.DownloadType1 = False
    .PrintSettings.PostScript.TrueTypeToType1 = False
    .PrintOut
    .PrintSettings.PostScript.DownloadType1 = True
    .PrintSettings.PostScript.TrueTypeToType1 = True
    .PrintOut
  End With
End Sub
