Simply, as the title says, how do I do that?

Guy,

The short answer is there is not a simple answer.

PM me what exactly you're trying to accomplish and your system configuration, and I'll see if I can't help you out. We can report back if we find anything useful to the general audience.

Ok, I thought I'd share the results of the experiment with you.

I needed to embed fonts so Lulu won't butcher my Word fonts. OpenOffice did not embed the fonts and thus Lulu would not accept it.

Larry suggested PDFCreator, which is also one of Lulu's suggestions. It told me Times-Roman was not embedded. Funny how such a commonplace font is not embedded. I then spent 40 minutes combing the entire document for each and every instance where the font appears, and excised them, including an empty enter or space stroke. It did not go well.

Larry also suggested PrimoPDF, but I looked at Lulu's suggestions, got CutePDF, converted the very same document PDFCreator gave me problems with, and it all went smooth.

Thought I'd share the experience. Thanks Larry!

Cheers,
Guy Shalev, tundra.
