I am working with a PDF that is showing the following when I look at its font properties.

It is like this for every font in the document, repeatedly embedded 10-20 times. What's going on with this? Is it using up a ton of space to repeatedly embed the font or is each embedded subset just one letter or something? I am not used to seeing this type of thing..

If you prefer, you can embed the entire font by changing the percentage in your PDF settings. Then it will just embed the whole thing once.

Otherwise subsetting is the embedding of just the letters of the font that you are using in the document to make your document even smaller. It usually causes trouble only if you want to join documents together which have different letters subset, so they conflict and go haywire.

Hope that helps
