    PDF 1.0 / Acrobat 1.0. In other words, always. However, initially only Type1 fonts could be embedded.

    Thank you -- fills in a small but irritating little historical gap

    My issue is purely historical - would like to know when Adobe introduced the ability to  embed fonts into .pdf files

    AFAIK, I think it did it from the beginning. The whole purpose was to have a format that would look the same no matter what computer. (Mac version came with v2.0.)
