I have special fonts purchased from 3rd party and they are working fine in Word2013. However, the PDF file created by WORD (Save as or Export to) (with font embedded option selected) doesn't have any of those special fonts in  Adobe Reader DC.  Need help!!

    Reader only reads, it does not create a PDF from a Word file

    Since it appears you are using a Microsoft function in Word to create the file, you need to ask Microsoft

    There are 3rd party fonts that have a flag to disallow font embedding. That is what is probably happening here. They want you to purchase a more expensive font license. Contact the font foundary
