Fonts won't package in InDesign

[nicholasm69306888]

Hi, I have the full Adobe CC subscription which it says entitles me to use a vast range of fonts for commercial use. When I activate a font I want to use I can use it in my applications but when I go to package for print in InDesign it says that the font is protected. Am I missing something really obvious? Thanks, Nick

Hello,  read this 😉

Are the fonts compatible with the InDesign or Illustrator packaging workflow that I use to send documents out for printing?

No. The Terms of Use do not permit the fonts to be transferred to another user or computer, so they cannot be packaged with the file. The printer needs to have their own license for the fonts, either through a Creative Cloud subscription or as a perpetual desktop license purchase.

Adobe Fonts included with your subscription cannot be packaged and FWIW, I do not recommend sending an InDesign file for print.
You should be using PDF.
That said, the only way anyone can open that InDesign is if they have a CC subscription and when they open it, they'll be prompted to activate the missing fonts.

Hope it helps.
