“Applicants will not be able to submit their proposal in the submission system unless both Parts B-1 and B-2 are provided in PDF format (Adobe version 3 or higher, with embedded fonts).”
The above instructions has been given in the submission portal of a postdoctoral application website. Does anyone know how to ensure the above instructions while compiling a typst file to generate the required PDF?
I’m not 100% sure what
Adobe version 3
refers to, I asked on Discord and @Cady guessed it could refer to Adobe Acrobat 3.0 (the PDF reader software) from 1996 which added support for PDF 1.2 
. I suggest asking your supervisors about it.
By default Typst generates PDF files in PDF version 1.7 and fonts are always embedded by default.
You don’t have to do anything specific.
That criterion is quite old.
Adobe Acrobat dates back to 1996/1997. It’s approximately PDF 1.3, and Typst’s default output version is PDF 1.7. The latter is compatible with the former.
Also, fonts are embedded by default.
Note that if you include PDF images in you document, you may have to double check. Including PDF images is a new feature for Typst, so the output PDF might be problematic if the inserted PDF image does not meet the criteria. In that case, you can try re-exporting the PDF image with your browser or Ghostscript. See A PDF image corrupts the PDF output in iOS/Safari? - #2 by Y.D.X for an example.
Thanks for the detailed answer.
