An Important Note on Fonts:

If you do not embed fonts in your PDF, your text may look different in the printed version than it looks on screen. Please embed fonts to ensure your poster prints as you intended. If you require assistance embedding your fonts, please ensure you add a note to your Service Now Ticket.
