How can I get Adobe Acrobat 7 to embed a specific font?

Question

My Adobe Acrobat 7.0 does not have Times New Roman listed as a font. It lists the Times fonts with PS
after the names, but not regular Times. When I pdf, the Times New Roman is not embedded. What can
I do?

Thank you. This information has allowed me to solve the problem!  Laura

A particular PDF file can have fonts embedded within it, or may refer to fonts installed in the operating system - but in either case it uses the Postscript name of the font, not the common name seen on menus. This ensures that when fonts are substituted or edits are made to the PDF file, the correct version and vendor are matched, not just the common name. Postscript names are unique, and often end with the initials of the vendor (LT = Linotype, MT = Monotype, etc.). "Times" on a font menu refers to the Linotype font "Times-Roman" (sold by Adobe and others), and "Times New Roman" refers to the Monotype font usually named "TimesNewRomanPSMT" (a Postscript font in a TrueType package, which is part of the standard set on Windows). They look the same from a distance, but internally they are different enough that a direct replacement is not normally possible. If you ever need to work out which has been used and cannot inspect the metadata, look very closely at the number "5" - in the Linotype font it has a tiny serif on the top right corner.  Embedding a font into a file has no effect on Acrobat whatsoever (lisabritne, what you're saying makes no sense).
