Times font in Adobe PDF

Question

Hallo Framers,
Using Frame 7.1, Windows XP.
I use the Adobe PDF driver in Frame with the SetPrint utility. My problem is that our Style Guide demands the Times font and Adobe PDF converts this to Times New Roman.
My colleaguse use a local postscript printer which does have Times, but I get errors using this (IT have so far been unable to mend it).
Can I persuade Adobe PDF to accept the Times font? If not, it seems that "Frame best practice" (use Adobe PDF) is incompatible with our style guide (use Times). And obviously the style guide takes priority.

I'm unsure that there's a significant difference to the reader between
Times and Times New, but the problem is that your colleagues are using
the fonts ON THE PRINTER, not on their computers. Unless the printer
manufacturer provided the fonts on a CD to install them on the
computer, it's unlikely that those fonts are actually being
incorporated in your co-worker's PDFs. And if they are, it's highly
unlikely (but possible) that those fonts are licensed for inclusion in
a PDF -- if you're concerned about the legality of that, you should
check the actual PDFs with Acrobat's preflight tool.
If I were you, I'd buy a legal copy of Times, or simply ask the
keepers of the style guide if Times New can be substituted if your
system doesn't have Times.
