Fonts not Embedding into PDF

Question

Hi there, I've downloaded fonts in OpenType PostScript format onto my Mac, and used them in a PPT Doc.

When I export to PDF the font doesn't display in the PDF.

I've embedded the font in the PPT, in Save Preferences.

I've assigned the font to PDFs in Fontbook and verified the font there too.

This happens in both Adobe Reader and Mac Preview.

I've updated MS Office, Adobe Reader, and the Mac! And restarted several times.

Strangely, the font can be embedded into a PDF from Mac Keynote, but that's affecting my presentation in other ways, so would rather keep to PPT.

Does anyone have any fixes?

Thanks!

Hi there

I hope you're doing well, and thank you for reaching out.

I’ve reviewed the Adobe account associated with the Adobe ID you're using in the community, and I was unable to find an active or paid Acrobat Pro plan linked to it.

Just to clarify, Acrobat Reader is a free application with limited features. It is primarily designed for viewing, filling out forms, signing, and annotating PDFs. For more detailed information on Acrobat Reader's features, you can refer to the following FAQ link.

Could you kindly provide the steps you’re following to create the PDF from the PowerPoint document? This will help us understand the issue better. Additionally, if possible, please try creating the PDF using the Acrobat Pro application to see if that resolves the issue.

Acrobat Pro offers more advanced PDF creation and editing features, which may be required depending on the complexity of your task.
