Distiller 7 missing fonts

[Jacob Schäffer]

Roger,

This error occur when the Distiller setting "When embedding fails" is set to "Cancel job" *and* Distiller cannot find the .PFB file.

Your Distiller Font locations points to C:\PSFONTS\PFM. Traditionally Adobe Type Manager is NOT storing .PFB files in this folder, but rather in the C:\PSFONTS folder. Hence, check the specific location for the .PFB file and add that folder to your Distiller font locations.

BTW, I'm quite certain that native Type 1 fonts do not have the permission flag at all -- this is an OpenType/TrueType thing. However, some conversion processes may add a permission flag on-the-go to the resulting fonts embedded in the final PDF document.
