I think the following bash script could be used to batch-check pdf files:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for i in $*; do
  c=`pdffonts $i | grep -c "Type 3" `
  if [ $c -ne 0 ]; then
    echo $i
  fi
done

Say you name it check.sh, then

Code:

check.sh *.pdf

Should give the names of all the files that use type 3 fonts.

Note: I haven't tested this yet.
