Acrobat Standard changes font when converting from Microsoft Word to PDF

Question

Hi,I have a problem with the latest version of Acrobat Standard when using the function "Combine files in Acrobat...". Since I have installed version 2023.001.20143 on my (PC) computer Acrobat changes the font used in my Microsoft Word "Header sections" from my preferred Gotham Light to Times New Roman in the generated PDF.However, the program successfully convert/use the correct font in the rest of the document except for in the "Table of contents" (which also is converted into Times New Roman).Is this perhaps a bug in the new/newer versions? I have previously used version 2021.007.20099 with the exact same settings/preferences and never had any problems with this previously.I can also add that I prefer to use the "combine files" function because I usually want to combine one/several Word and an Excel document/s to PDF format in my profession.Best regards,Patrik

You need to do some tests.

First create a test file, that confirms that the problem also exists with a brand-new file.

If that is the case, you can try out the different ways to create a PDF file from word. One is the “Safe as PDF” from Word, using the Microsoft engine to create the PDF. The other is the “Save as Acrobat PDF”, using the Adobe engine. The third is using the macro, which also creates the links in the TOC.

At which stage does the font change to Times New Roman?
