Is it legal to embed typefaces into Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files?
Yes. Customers may use the Adobe Acrobat® Distiller to embed most Type 1 typefaces into PDF documents, which may then be viewed or printed on any number of computers. Editing of documents with embedded typefaces is not allowed unless the typefaces are licensed to and installed on the computer performing the editing. See the item above about which typefaces are legal to embed.
