How to embed fonts for a PDF generated from LaTex

How to embed fonts for a PDF generated from LaTex

I usually use Matlab in Linux to plot figures of which fonts however are not embedded. It always bugs me. Everytime I have to find a way to deal with this problem. This is exact the reason why I write it down here for myself.

The easiest method so far I use requires Adobe Acrobat (not reader), which is not free.

Open the PDF using Acrobat (don't use foxit or others)
File > Print> Adobe PDF
Properties > default setting > press quality
make sure to select the correct paper size (A4 or Letter)

Size option > actual size

Print

Done

If anyone knows a way to do it without Acrobat, please let me know.
