So I'm trying to format an book using Word '07 and I want to export it as a PDF. I've done this several times, no problems. I wanted to try something different though and embed the Adobe Garamond font. It worked but the resulting file was 230mb. I tried it again with Times New Roman and the file turned out at 7mb (it's 4,000 pages) which is fine.

So is there any way I can embed the fonts I want without making such a huge file?
