Embedded fonts

As those of you who work with pdfs know, it's important to embed the fonts when you generate these files. Alas, my composer doesn't seem to have done this ... and the 100s of pages of sheet music pdfs for our musical likely have to be regenerated. Ouch! I have a crazy notion for a possible way to fix this, which I'll try when I get home from the university tonight, but I'm not taking bets. I think he just generated pdfs without knowing he had to embed fonts, the way I did when I first started working with pdfs. But if we have to start over, I may have to push this project back to summertime because I have more pressing things to do than grunt work like this. We'll see.
