Why are there limitations on the forwarding of documents with embedded fonts (e.g. Powerpoint or PDF documents)?
It is technically possible to extract embedded fonts from certain documents. The font could then be used in an unauthorized manner. For this reason, we only allow documents with embedded fonts to be forwarded to recipients who are also license holders. In the case of forwarding to third parties (e.g. sending of newsletters or forwarding to a printing company), the license holder must ensure that the font cannot be extracted from the document. It is possible here to partially embed the font in the document or to convert it to non-editable character paths.
