Rasterized image files can't have embedded fonts.
PDFs can - but that's not the case in your instance or you wouldn't
require them on your system. If they had been embedded you wouldn't have
the problem.
Unfortunately someone probably created the pdf on a Windoof system using
those fonts (print to pdf, Adobe InDesign) without embedding them. It is
possible to modify/fix - sometimes...
