so I did a template for a client, delivering an open pdf file, so he can change some text content...
I used a purchased Univers font( 55 roman, 57 condensed, 65 bold, 67 condensed bold) generating the file from Mac illustrator 10>eps>distiller 6>pdf
I made client purchasing the same fonts. he works on pc, he got acrobat full
When he opens the pdf file and tries to edit, acrobat says he is missin the right font to proceed to the edit..
Is a acrobat setting issue? is an illustrator issue? I have embeded the font in the pdf file..
please help
thanks

well as far as I know PC fonts and Mac fonts...are not the same. So basically if you design something on a Mac and send it to someone on a PC...even if they have that font, it wont register as the same font..But I'm not sure...carry on.

Some fonts can only be used on a pc or mac and some can be used on both. Sorry but other than that I'm no help

I wish they could both just get along.

i ran into this a few weeks ago, even though it says it cant find it, if you outline the fonts and embed them, they still should be there.

get the client ot buy a mac

First off, you dont need to buy 2 version of the same font for Mac and PC.
Just buy TT font for PC and it will work for poth PC and Mac.
OSX reads PC TT fonts like magic.
So pretty much you only need to buy 1 font for both of you since you ar working on the same project.. and TT is the most compatable between PC and Mac. That ussually is the best way to ensure it works.
If you are using a mac version and a PC version of the same font.. it will give you problems
