font available to publishers

[rschlegel]

If I activate an Adobe  type font, will it be available to my book publisher when I send them my InDesign file containing text styled with the activated font, or ill it be missing to them?

Only if your publisher has the Creative Suite Creative Cloud. Through CS CC, they can activate the Adobe fonts you used.

However...

• If you used any other fonts (not through Adobe fonts), then they'll need to either purchase or use your version of those fonts.
• If they don't have Creative Suite Creative Cloud, they'll be SOL.

Question: today, rarely does any publisher or printer want our InDesign files. Instead, they want a press-quality PDF exported from our InDesign layouts which should include the fonts. File / Export / PDF (Print), and choose PDF/X-4 or Press Quality.

Just curious: why are you sending the native INDD files rather than a press-quality PDF?

That should say Creative Cloud. Creative Suite would not provide Adobe fonts.

Thank you @BobLevine.

Legacy memory kicked in to make the mistake <grin>.
