Using fonts bundled with Adobe applications

Report · Jun 02, 2014

I use the Adobe CS6 Design & Premium / Middle East Version.

I have a question regarding the use of the fonts bundled with Adobe applications.

I design and sell greeting cards and printable items you can download and print at home or at a print house.

Before I send the file to a client I convert the type to a shape (Photoshop) or create outlines (Illustrator/Indesign) and sometimes I send a pdf file.

Am I allowed to use these fonts for these purposes??

Is it ok to use these fonts that way?

One more question,

How can I find out if a font is bundled with Adobe or installed with my OS? is there a list of adobe fonts that are installed with CS6?

Hope to hear from you soon

Thank you!!

it is an allowed use. But if you are sending them a pdf, you need to convert the fonts to outline nor rasterize it. Adobe allows embedding of their fonts in pdf files. However, not all font houses allow this. If you have a font that doesn’t allow embedding, the Adobe app will not embed the font.
