I'm trying to convert a Word 2016 document to pdf.
It is important that the entire document is in 300 dpi.
However, some of the special fonts I use (otf) only have a resolution of 72 dpi when I export them to pdf (I have tried with several programs). It seems that Word only sets the resolution of the font to 72 dpi.
Images are as they should be (have adjusted necessary settings)
otf should be vector based, hence, there should not be problems with resolution.
- I have tried to save as pdf with integrated fonts.
- I have tried to print via primopdf and setting resolution there to 300 dpi.
So, how do I get Word to output fonts in 300-dpi resolution for printing / exporting document to a professional printer?

After trying loads of different things converting the fonts to TTF did the trick! I deinstalled the original OTFs, installed the TTFs and then restarted.
There are different services for the conversion online... I used http://otf2ttf.com which worked just fine for me. Opentype features, etc. should still be intact with this, but I had no time to check everything.
Hope that works for you!
It’s really strange that Word is still not fully supporting OTFs on Windows. (I used Word 2016, Win8) The Mac-Version of Word although did export the OTFs just fine, but wasn’t exporting any links within the document :/ - which is apparently a known issue.
