Of course, that's not what I meant. Yes, there's a way to do it, sorta. The reality is, the fonts will come out pretty much obfuscated, no matter what. Either subset or obfuscated, or, hey, both.
The simplest way, really, is to rip out the obfuscation from the INDD side; remove all that cruft from the file (the encryption.xml file, if memory serves, off the top of my old decrepit noggin) and rock on. If the designer used cloud-service fonts, sometimes, life is simpler to just replace the cursed things with intact font files, make the book, and THEN subset the fonts, using either Toxaris' wonderful Font Shrinker or Calibre's capability.
My meaning
was something else entirely, and you damn well know it, big fella.
