Hello,

I found the answer from this forum:

• Can not export ttf font to PDF: cannot be embedded due to licensing restrictions. What is the reason of this error?

This behavior is related to the third party vendor's policy (Adobe/PDF)

and license restrictions for fonts. The font itself does not allow to be embedded.

For more details, have a look on Adobe's forum:

• Why provide fonts that can't be used??
• Font embedding problem when exporting to PDF

I hope that's clear, let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon
