Founded in 1918, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private, non-profit organization that administers and coordinates the U.S. standards and conformity assessment system. This system is pivotal to the health and safety of consumers, the environment, and businesses of all sectors (varying from construction equipment, livestock production, energy distribution, security systems, lasers, medical electrical equipment, and playgrounds) around the world.
Standards help users reduce costs, increase productivity and efficiencies, encourage interoperability, lower waste, and ensure the safety and quality of products and services. Standard developing organizations (SDOs) are member-supported organizations that develop and maintain standards to meet industry needs. Standards published by numerous standard developers (e.g., Aluminum Association, American Dental Association, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, International Electrotechnical Commission, and International Organization for Standardization) are available for purchase from ANSI.
The ANSI Webstore is an online electronic standards web-based ordering and delivery system for American and international standards from over 150 standards publishers. To access standards, it is necessary to make an account.
If you have any questions regarding downloading standards and their usage, a helpful resource is the Frequently Asked Questions page on the ANSI Webstore. Additionally, customer service is available to assist you. Get in touch with ANSI customer service by emailing in...@ansi.org, calling 212-642-4980, or live chat with a customer service representative.
As soon as I changed laptops (went from Windows 7 to Windows 10) the Fonts in the PDF's are now encoded with "Identity-H" with a font type of "Truetype (CID)" instead of "Truetype" with ANSI encoding which means none of the characters in the address box can be read by Bing Mailroom in order to extract the address text and mail them out in bulk.
You did mention your transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10. One of the major changes that most users are not aware of is that in the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 8.x to Windows 10, the system fonts within Windows (such as Arial, Times New Roman, etc.) grew dramatically in size in terms of the numbers of glyphs defined in those fonts (to support more languages, special symbolic characters, etc.). When encountering such fonts, some if not most PDF generators will use CID Identity-H encoding. The only thing you might try is use of other fonts that are much more restricted in the number of glyphs they support, probably meaning that you may need to license fonts other than the Windows system fonts.
I don't understand what is the advantage of Identity-H encoding. For our caritative association, we have a small news paper of one page, since the beginning of this publication except the one page text, the fonts and the logo image was not changed and depending of the evolution of the means of creation we have 3 types of pdf files.
(3) None of the three methods of producing PDF that you give examples for are Adobe products or have anything to do with Adobe Acrobat's PDF creation capability. The second and third PDF files you reference are produced via Microsoft's tools, neither of which are highly regarded in terms of the quality or efficiency of their PDF production. You should contact Microsoft to ascertain why their PDF files are so bloated in size. It is not the CID Identity-H encoding, though!
