[pdftex] AR 5 not working with pdftex?

[Beuthe, Thomas]

Embedding all of your fonts is something you should always
consider doing anyway, as the portability of the document
would not be guaranteed otherwise.  This was an issue
with the default installation of 4.0 distiller.
By default it didn't embed the more common fonts,
and as a result, it caused problems across platforms
(Windows versus Mac)

So, in general, it's a good idea to embed ALL fonts!

Is there a switch to pdftex that will do either of these things?  I
have grown dependent on PDF as a "portable" document format and it
really disturbs me that many of my documents no longer print correctly
for users who have "upgraded" their Acrobat Reader program.

Thanks,

Chris
