Hello, 

 

I've been triyng to embed font into a PDF form created with Acrobat but I am not able too. 

 

I am following this steps for Adobe: 

  1. Find your font. To embed the fonts that are not already embedded, go to File > Print. Bring up the Adobe PDF settings and properties, then Adobe PDF settings.  

 

I don't have this Adobe PDF settings anywhere in the print window. Can anyone help? 

 

Thank you

There is no way you should be using the Adobe PDF printer with a form. You will lose all the form fields you carefully added. There is no way you should be printing PDF to PDF at all, in fact. Where did you find these instructions?

This is something I found on Adobe Acrobat website on how to Embed fonts so probably wrong for what I am trying to do. Do you know if it's possible to embed fonts in a PDF form? If I share the PDF form with someone else that doesn't have the font installed, is there any way for them to edit the text with the same font?

I think you can add this to the list of bad advice on the internet. But let's look at your issue. Is your concern form fields that you've made (fillable fields anyone can type using Reader), or is it a regular PDF document, with regular text, which happens to be a fillable form?
