i am trying to use adobe acrobat pro (latest version) to create one pdf. But the pdf needs to be as small as possible. so i am trying to get the font which takes least amount of space when used. which font usage is suggested ? (i am currently using courier new) 

 

Correct answer try67

Use a Type-0 font, those that appear above the line in this dialog:

 

These fonts are (or should be) embedded in the application and therefore don't need to be embedded in the file itself.

I used the latest version of Adobe and saved it as PDF; however, when I tried to amend the document later by using the toolbar, it proved to be impossible, as the numbers were appearing in Arabic only, despite specifying English text , Help please !!
