it's a weird demand of them as they are not supposed to mess with the
pdf file anyway
you can put all characters that make sense in an layer of page one
painted in white (or whatever) but even then, the amount of related data
is not there (in fact embedding only means embedding outlines and a font
is much more than that)
you can always give them a copy of the font (if the license permits) as
for editing a pdf acrobat will look at system fonts
