Thomas> I can't read your PDF file with Evince.

Evince can correctly render documents which do not have embedded fonts.
You do need to have suitable substitute fonts available, of course, but
pdf has always supported non-embedded fonts and all pdf readers do too.

The quality might not be the same, but embedding even subsets of CJK fonts
can bloat document sizes far beyond comfort.
