Font Embedding Problem

I have an advert produced in InDesign CS. The PDF produced has all the fonts embedded.

This PDF is then ran through Asura, the fonts have had their names changed from Helvetica Neue to HelveticaNeue-Black-OV-PRXWAB and still show as embedded (not subset).

The Document Properties dialog in Acrobat tells me that the font 'HelveticaNeue-Black-OV-PRXWAB' (Type: Type 1, Encoding: Custom) is embedded.

This PDF is then placed inside an InDesign CS document and re-PDF'd first to a postscript file, then distilled (v7.07). Distiller is set to also embed all fonts.

When the final PDF is produced the above font is no longer embedded but is now subset..

Surely all the font info (glyphs) are in the first PDF as Acrobat showed it as Embedded. So therefore how can the final PDF show it as subset.?

Does it have something to do with the font name containing 'OV-PRXWAB'..?

Thanks is advance..

Check to make sure that when you're converting your PS to PDF via Distiller that the fonts are set to embed not embed subset. It sounds as though you are creating PDF by two different processes from InDesign therefore it is likely that the setting are different.
