CC fonts won't embed

I need to create a PDF from a Publisher doc (don't ask!). I'm using the Adobe PDF printer to do this, and therefore, Distiller.

I'm using the Source Sans font installed via CC.

On my PC, this works correctly. On my laptop, the Source Sans font won't embed, and is substituted with Courier. The error in the distiller log is as follows:

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
SourceSansPro-Regular not found, using Courier.

I have a CC licence that includes Acrobat, which is installed and up to date.

How do I fix this?

You should be saving PDF directly from Publisher's Save As dialog. It has options for Commercial Press setting including bleed and crop marks. There is no need to print to PDF this day and age.

The export to PDF from Publisher (or save-as) will allow you to pick from several options, either a high quality or small size PDF, you can also choose custom settings. Check your PDF in Acrobat to confirm all fonts are embedded, (File> Properties> Fonts) all should say embedded or embedded subset. The "minimum size" setting can be used for on-line viewing, but any setting will well work on-line, as long as the fonts are embedded.
