A designer made a PDF for us using Open Sans font. I can view the PDF fine, but when I try to edit text the font isn't available. I've tried Optimize PDF using Preflight, and Print Production Preflight but neither seem to work ~ 'analyze & fix'. How do i install missing fonts, and how is it possible that Acbrobat DC Pro doesn't have Open Sans pre-installed?

Thanks

Install the font like any other font on your system.

Thanks Bernd, I'm not a designer and unfamiliar with some of the basics around system fonts v. application fonts ~ or so I thought. Very helpful guidance, for others with same issue:

1. download desired font from Googel - Google Fonts | Google Developers

2. unzip file

3. right click on file > install

You write " how is it possible that Acbrobat DC Pro doesn't have Open Sans pre-installed" but there are hundreds of thousands of fonts, costing millions of dollars. Clearly Acrobat Pro can't have them all, why do you feel it should have this one?
