The same trick can be done by your CPA - if s/he will save the PDF with the option to "embed" / "inline" the fonts, the PDF would work anywhere, for everyone, on any device/OS, regardless of fonts... s/he might want to do it in general (the price of course is larger PDFs, as they contain the font data...)
