Dear Derek,

Thank you very much for the info, I was thinking that some
old versions of free software made (or converted) such, but
it seems to be my misunderstanding.

Although I cannot reproduce such PDFs immediately, I think
your request is reasonable.

(I would join the thread following to Adam's post)

Regards,
mpsuzuki

Just curious, is it possible for you to guess the workflow how such
PDFs were made? Any legacy softwares which we cannot obtain anymore
might be used?

 From the PDF metadata in the two PDF files:

Creator:        Adobe InDesign CS4 (6.0.5)
Producer:       Adobe PDF Library 9.0

Creator:        Adobe InDesign CS5 (7.0.3)
Producer:       Adobe PDF Library 9.9

I should mention that PDF metadata is somewhat unreliable -- it's quite
possible that the files were modified by some other software, without
changing the metadata.

The first one has both 8-bit and 16-bit CFF fonts embedded in
SFNT/OpenType wrappers, with no other tables.

The second one has just 8-bit fonts, which have 'CFF ' and 'cmap'
tables (and no other tables).
