Hi All,
I have a PDF with Type 3 font embedded. How can i convert this Type 3 font to Type 1 font?
Thanks, Balaji
A:
You may not be able to; Type 3 fonts can contain any PostScript; Type 1 fonts can only contain a restricted subset.

But Type 3 font is appeared as an image while converting to swf. Is there any way to convert Type 3 to Type 1 font while convertng to swf?.Thanks

Not without losing information about the font.

A:
You cannot "convert", but you may be able to replace the font(s) in question.
To replace, you need to un-embed the Type 3 font in a first processing step, and then embed another font for it in a second step.
The only utility possibly capable of doing so that I know of is the commandline utility pdfToolbox CLI 4 by callassoftware.com -- commercial payware, but available for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris...
