As I understand it
"Times" and "Times New Roman" are the same typeface, but separate fonts

My understanding
is that whilst the different point sizes are no longer deemed to be separate fonts, the styles - roman, italic, bold - and weights - ultra thin through to heavy - are all fonts of the same typeface. Times New Roman is a different typeface to Times.

A typeface is the style of the letters
A font is the digital file the style of the letters is drawn from

Acrobat was looking for the Mac font Times, so I pointed it towards the Windows .ttf (True Type Font) file Times New Roman. Which is, essentially, the same typeface, just as Wingdings on the PC and Wingdings (TT) on the Mac are different fonts of the same typeface.
