We used a lovely font across several PSD files (see image below) and are now ready to print (PDF).

PSD file

After saving as Adobe PDF, this is what we get (top of the G is cut off).

After reading some articles and suggestions, increasing kerning was suggested. This, unfortunately, only fixes the issue for horizontal trimming, not vertical trimming.

When highlighting the text, this is what I see. I assume the area being cutoff is due to the actual space that the font occupies, but am not sure how to fix this.

Font occupied space

Any suggestions on how to fix this trimming conversion issue?

If you're looking for the font to test with, it's called Mowllnew and was retrieved here.

    Maybe try adjusting the baseline shift by a negative amount to move it down. You can do it in the character panel

Rasterize that layer by right clicking on it in the Layers panel and choosing Rasterize Type. That will convert the type into a bunch of pixels, basically, a raster image.

Possibly duplicate the layer before this and hide the duplicate, in the event of future edits.

Create Outlines...

Highlight the type layer and choose Type > Convert To shape.

Then it's a vector shape rather than live type. As a shape the entire path will be honored.

  • Hi Scott, just tried this, but same result. There are no other layers, just white background and text. Same happens for convert to smart object too.
