Question

Using Font Folio in InDesign to export in PDF to app store

Our customer is creating applications using In Design.    These applications are exported into PDF format for viewing on mobile devices.    Is there any additional licensing needed from Adobe in this scenario?


Also, in the future (not now) if the customer would like to look into perhaps fonts to be embedded in a app the customer is creating, what licensing would be needed?


Thanks in advance!

    For export of PDF from InDesign (or saving PDF from Illustrator or Photoshop), no additional license is required for embedding fonts sourced from Adobe (including all the fonts in the Font Folio and any bundled with Adobe applications).

    This is not true for use in applications where text is being generated on-the-fly and/or can be entered by the user. Others will comment on those licensing requirements.

    Thank you Dov, I didn't see any additional comments.  Would you be able to direct me to how I would find more information on how to use Adobe Fonts in on the fly applications? Customer is questioning.
