What is Adobes position on users and service bureaus sharing typefaces and why?
Adobe’s licensing policy on transporting typeface software with print jobs to service bureaus is unchanged. Customers are allowed to give their typeface files to a service bureau along with a print job IF AND ONLY IF the service bureau already owns a valid license for the typeface. The reason for allowing this to happen is to ensure that the customer’s revision of the typeface software is the one used to image the print job. Adobe does revise its typefaces periodically. Customers are not allowed to give typefaces to service bureaus who do not already own valid licenses for the typefaces.
