Some fonts are restricted from being embedded by the font foundry. It is an attribute of the font files. This prevents them from being extracted from the PDF by a third party and reused.

Using FrameMaker 7.1 p116 and Acrobat Professional (Distiller) 7.0.7. Windows XP SP2. I try to create a PDF from FrameMaker using File > Save as PDF. Distiller fires up but fails to produce a PDF (because of my settings) with the following message: %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% %%[ Error: GillSans not found. Font cannot be embedded. ]%% %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%% The GillSans it refers to is installed on my system using ATM Lite. It's a Type 1 PostScript produced by Adobe, file name GN___.pfm and .pfb. There are a number of related fonts - the italic, bold, etc. In Distiller the font locations are set to: C:\PSFONTS\PFM\ C:\Windows\Fonts\ C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0\Resource\Font\ And a couple of other places. In Distiller's Adobe PDF Settings the Embed all fonts option is checked, as is Subset embedded fonts when percent...is less than 100%. And "When embedding fails" is set to Cancel job. I removed and reinstalled the fonts from the original disk using ATM, but the message still appears. In FrameMaker the paragraph formats using these fonts are OK - i.e. the font is not greyed in the paragraph designer. Any ideas?
