The following method is provided by notesofaprogrammer.blogspot.com, which first converts the PDF file to PS format, then embeds all the fonts while converting PS back to PDF:
pdf2ps example.pdf
ps2pdf \
-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress \
-dSubsetFonts=true \
-dEmbedAllFonts=true \
-dMaxSubsetPct=100 \
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 ./example.ps
Using the default Elsevier latex template, there is a URL in each bibliography reference with “Bdsk-Url” fields. To remove this URL,
1. Open the BTS (bibliography style) file being used (by default “els article-num.bst”).
2. For each BibTeX item type (e.g. “inproceedings”), find the corresponding function in the above BST file (e.g. “FUNCTION {inproceedings}”), then comment out “write.url” in the end of this function (i.e. change it to “%write.url”).
(To remove such URLs for IEEE template, please refer to http://writebuffer.com/remove-url-in-ieeetran-bibliography-on-mac-os/)
If you have better solutions, please let me know. Thanks.
If you don’t want fields such as “[Online]”, “Available: …” appear in IEEEtran bibliography items:
1. Go to installation folder of IEEEtan bst.
(on my Mac OS with Texlive, the folder is /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/IEEEtran)
2. Backup and then edit IEEEtran.bst, search “FUNCTION XXX” (XXX could be “inproceedings”, “inbook”, etc.), and comment out “format.url output”
3. run “texhash”
4. recompile .bib and .tex files.
