How do I embed a custom font into a PDF form field?

I work for a company that owns a license to our logo font. We're trying to create fillable form fields in Adobe Acrobat PDFs that use our font, but I keep getting a message that the font license won't allow it to be embedded. Is there any way around this issue?

You need to contact the font foundry and ask them for an embeddable version.

Thank you! Ok, I contacted the font foundry and they sent a license agreement that indicates that the version we already have embeddable (and yet it won't embed in a fillable PDF). Is there anything else I could be missing?

The font has to allow at least editable embedding. For a description on the various type of embedding permissions that are possible, see: Adobe - Fonts : Font Permissions

So your font will have to be configured for either editable or installable embedding for it to be used with a form field. This is something that needs to be done in the font editing software and they'll have to generate a new font file for you to use.
