How to Change a Font's Embedding Permission?

Way back when, my company created a simple TTF font that consisted of the company logo, scaleable using font size.  This was when PDFs and electronic delivery were less of a concern for us.  The font logo now permeates a large number of company documents, which are frequently reused.

Years later, I'm back at the company, and we have a problem with the font getting embedded into PDFs.  The font was created with Fontographer, and apparently the permission was set not to allow embedding, which is exactly the opposite of what is needed.

How does one change the permission for the existing (very narrowly used)?  Shall we start from scratch with a new font?  If the latter, how do we avoid this problem?  Thanks.

Hi @kevin_7773, you stumbled on a post that is more than 10 years old so I'm not sure exactly what you are inquiring about here. What Adobe application? What font? What permission error are you coming across? Any more info you can give us will be helpful. With your Adobe subscription, all Adobe fonts are already licensed for use and if you export to PDF, that PDF will have the font embedded.
