This is a simple answer, but not one which you'll want to
hear.
Skia is a Macintosh TrueType font which has a flag
restricting it from being embedded in a PDF file. Beginning with Acrobat 4, the
program will not embed fonts which are not licensed for such a
purpose.
You'll have to choose another font.

Subject: [PDF-Basics] Skia
Recently, I wanted to create a PDF of a letter and email it rather than post a hard copy, and this is when I discovered a problem. My address details in the letterhead are set in Skia. While this prints OK as a hard copy, when I try printing to Adobe Acrobat 4, the alphabetic characters work OK, but the numerals disappear completely. To get round the problem for this occasion, I temporarily changed the font to Helvetica, but can anyone explain what’s happening, and suggest a solution which would allow me to use Skia in PDFs?
