Examining Fonts in a PDF File
If you receive a PDF file from someone else, you may want to check on the document’s fonts. Acrobat can tell us which fonts are used in the PDF and if they’re embedded or not. Here’s how:
- Open a PDF in Acrobat
- Go to File > Properties
- Click on Fonts
- Here Acrobat lists all the fonts used in the document. If a font is embedded, that information will also be listed next to the font name.
- If you want to unembed fonts Acrobat can do this with the PDF Optimizer. This option is located under Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Fonts.
