Can I swap embedded font

Can I swap embedded font?

I have been sent a PDF which my system (Mac 10.5) reports as having a 
broken American Garamond font embedded in it - although the file opens 
and displays fine. I have a good version of the font (not installed) - 
is there any way that I can swap my font for their font using Acrobat 
Pro 9? TIA.

In your position (and for the sake of people searching Google Groups more
than for you individually, sorry about the delay!) I would convert the PDF
to PostScript using pdftops , generate a .PFA version of the Garamond font,
replace the broken Garamond font in the PostScript with the contents of the
PFA file, and then convert the PostScript back to PDF, using ps2pdf or
Acrobat Pro.

If you have trouble generating a .PFA version of the font, one workaround
would be to export a PDF that uses the font from Acrobat Pro 9, telling it
not to do font subsetting, and then convert that PDF to PostScript. The font
should be in PFA format in the PostScript. 

I’m not sure how well this works with TrueType and OpenType fonts--these
instructions are oriented towards Type 1 fonts.
