Fails to hold embeded font setting for Bold or Bold/Italics option of custom company font

Question

Our organization uses a custom font. When converting a PowerPoint presentation to PDF, the embedded fonts are preserved for all text except the headings that use the custom font in Bold or Bold/Italic.

Using the Microsoft Print to PDF option retains these settings. However, when using the Save As Adobe PDF option, the custom fonts in Bold or Bold/Italic are not converted correctly.

Is there a setting that needs to be adjusted to fix this issue?

@Brandon30777049z4qc  A workaround is to embed the font directly into the PDF during the conversion process. In Acrobat's PDF creation settings, look for an option related to font embedding and ensure that it's enabled for all fonts, including your custom font. This should force Acrobat to include the necessary font data for bold and italic styles, preserving the formatting in the final PDF. If this doesn't work, you could try outlining the heading text in PowerPoint before conversion, which converts the text to vector shapes and eliminates the reliance on embedded fonts.
