Neil is correct. Generally: Most foundries' licenses do not allow such "lending" of fonts with print jobs, although there are certainly a few exceptions. Adobe's license allows it providing the third party already has a license for the same font. That makes it just a means of ensuring that the same version of the font is used. Most, but certainly not all, foundries allow embedding fonts in PDF files for sending to a service/output provider. Again, you need to check the specific license. Regards, T
