Hi everyone -
I may have been introduced to a solution for you.
For the past three weeks, I have been battling with Acrobat because it
was refusing to embed the correct fonts in a weekly newsletter I do for
my Rotary Club. Today I was introduced to a program called Pdf995. It
appears to be both free and shareware. I tried it, and it worked
beautifully. If it keeps working as well for the next several weeks, I
will, no doubt purchase the "edit" part of the program for $20. It
appears to have solved my problem. I am happy and grateful. Try it and
see if it works for you. Check it out and see if it does what you need:
