If you save as a Photoshop PDF from within the photodshop elements editor keep the text layers and the fonts should be embedded when saving.

If you use psd files keep the text layers as well when saving.

For pdfs you can check that the font is embedded in Acrobat Reader or Pro by going to File>Properties>Fonts

Once you activate the type tool, the text comes in on a separate layer. When you flatten the layers, the text should remain visible. Are you having a problem?

PSE uses the system fonts.

I am not having an issue viewing the text when I flatten it. My concern was that to publish it on Barnes and Noble publishing, they recommend embedding the font for publishing. They also accept Adobe Photoshop. So the question was more of -once I save it as a PDF are the text fonts embedded if I flatten the layers, or do I save it as a pdf with the layers and then will I need to embed the fonts?
