Embed all fonts in PDF

The command line arguments to embed ALL fonts in a PDF document.
(Especially required to pass IEEE Explore PDF Check)

Place the following in the arguments to ps2pdf:

-sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true
-dEmbedAllFonts=true -sOutputFile="%bm.pdf" -c save pop -f "%bm.ps"


where "-dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true
-dEmbedAllFonts=true" is the specification to tell ps2pdf to embed
everything.
