Tip #2. Optimizing The Printing Process Using the UniPrint Acrobat Plug-in
At times re-rendering a document that is already in PDF format may produce undesirable results. In such cases, users can utilize the UniPrint Acrobat Plug-in to inform UniPrint not to re-process the file. This tool can be downloaded from the UniPrint Web site, https://www.uniprint.net/UniPrint_download.asp?product=Utilities.

Tip #3. Ensuring Font Type Remains True During Rendering Process
All UniPrint print jobs are generated in PDF format. During the conversion, the description of each font used in the original document is added to the PDF file. When the print job is sent to the printer, the printing process of either UniPrint Client or UniPrint Print Server will map the fonts used in the PDF file to the ones locally installed on the computer. If a font is not found, the process will substitute it with a locally installed font that has the closest resemblance based on the font description.

There are two ways to ensure the correct font is used when printing:
1.Enable the appropriate Font embedding options and/or Multi-language character support option in the Advanced Options tab of UniPrint Printing Preferences.
2.Install any non-standard font(s) used in the document on all client workstations and/or Print Servers.
