Howdy,

So, what is your problem? Please let me know if everything is still working.

If you have Adobe Reader open the pdf file with Reader and press Cmd-D which should bring up a tabbed window. One of the tabs should be something about fonts so click on it and it will display all the fonts used and give you information about whether they are embedded or not. That's not the only way to get that information but it's a simple way.

Good Luck,
