Question

Will fonts purchased for a MAC work on a PC once they are transferred through Adobe Creative Cloud?

Hello everyone.

 

I would really appreciate your help with fonts in Adobe Creative Cloud.

 

I usually always work on a MAC using Adobe Illustrator. I have been working on several projects where I had to purchase and install fonts on my MAC.

 

Here are my concerns:

 

  1. Can I upload these projects to Adobe Creative Cloud and then download them to my PC to work on them in Adobe Illustrator on my PC?
  2. Will the fonts purchased for the MAC automatically transfer to Adobe Illustrator on my PC through Adobe Creative Cloud or will they be shown as missing fonts from the projects?
  3. In other words, if the fonts don't transfer to the PC, will I have to purchase the same fonts for my PC to be able to continue working in Adobe Illustrator on the PC?

 

I hope my questions are not too confusing.

 

I would really appreciate your feedback.

 

Thank you.

Norm Attarmigiroglu

Answer:- Yes, you can download the projects from Adobe Creative Cloud to your PC in order to work on them.

If you save your project through the Adobe app, the project will show under cloud documents, and if you move your project to the Creative Cloud files folder on your pc, you will find the project under synced files in Adobe Creative Cloud.

Answer:- You have to download the Creative Cloud Desktop Application on your PC in order to sync all the fonts in all Adobe apps also when you activate fonts from Adobe Fonts, they will appear in the font menus of all your desktop applications, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Microsoft Office, and iWork.
