Packaging features, such as the Package in Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator, are often used to send documents for print output. Fonts are usually included with a package to ensure that the document displays as intended.
Font licensing requirements
Most existing font license agreements, including the standard End User License Agreement (EULA) for the Adobe Type Library and Font Folio, don't permit sending font files to third parties unless those parties have their own valid license for the same font.
Some newer versions of the Adobe EULA (for example, those for fonts purchased through Fontspring) allow you to share fonts with printers for output purposes. However, licensing terms can vary, so it's important to review your specific EULA to confirm what is permitted.
The Adobe Fonts Terms of Use don't allow copying or moving the files.
If packaging fonts isn’t allowed under your license, anyone who needs to edit or print the file must have access to the required fonts via their own Creative Cloud subscription, or a valid desktop font license for the same fonts.
Embed fonts in PDFs and digital documents
The Adobe Terms of Use allow font data to be embedded in PDFs and other digital formats that protect the font files. In most cases, creating a PDF is the most reliable method to ensure typographic fidelity in print. Fonts may only be embedded in a document for viewing or printing existing content. Fonts may not be used to create new documents, templates, or dynamic content.
