A font that looks similar to Whitney?

I'm currently creating a PDF template within Acrobat for a client. I'm using HF&J Whitney and forgot that I wouldn't be able to embed the font. Does anyone know of a typeface that looks similar to Whitney and would be able to be embedded? The goal is to allow the client to make edits/updates from their end. This might be a tough one. Maybe the easiest solution would be to have them purchase a license to Whitney.

Thoughts?

Benton Sans looks similar to Whitney.

First, contact H&FJ and ask about a license extension.

Sure. They are both based on the same model, inspired by News and Trade Gothics. But their finishes are very different.
