Does license affect ability to embed font?

Yeah, 9pt,300ppi rastered type composed of all the process colors. This alone, Mojo, points to this person not being the expert you might think.

PrintDriver mentioned something that I forgot — this wouldn’t by any chance just be a missing Adobe font, would it. Something that you can just activate from within your licensed copy of InDesign.

For what it’s worth, I tend to avoid Adobe fonts for these very reasons. They’re tempting to use, but they’re a recipe for problems. For that matter, just this past week I was dealing with one of these very kinds of Adobe font problems on a finished annual report I delivered to a company. For whatever reason, they weren’t able to activate the font on their end. I finally just converted the type to outlines and resent it.
