No.

The message is not "getting at" anything. The message says that the 
document contains fonts that only allow font embedding for the purpose 
of printing and previewing. I.e. the document with the font embedded 
cannot be modified (or at least, the text in that document cannot). But 
this is different from no embedding at all -- TrueType and OpenType have 
a provision for such fonts as well, but it is rarely used. The most 
popular levels of font embedding permissions are "Print & Preview" and 
"Editable".
