For ages, I have been using bahnshcrift light as my main letter font. It never rendered well in adobe pdf using the adobe pdf maker. Even when it was embedded. Can never get bold or lighter weights.
Perchance, I came across Microsoft print to PDF the other day which renders the text in pdf beautifully.

Sadly, however none of my hyperlinks work.

So, I am stuck between using adobe's clearly inferior pdf maker that does not render the fonts as intended, but provides hyperlinks or I use MS's (surprisingly far superior pdf printer) but dont get the hyperlinks...
Why on earth cant adobe as the pdf giant create a pdf printer that works better than MS's (and preserves hyperlinks???????)

    If you could please post a copy of your original document and the resultant PDF files both from Acrobat PDFMaker and from the alternatives, we can try to determine what is going on.

     

    Note that Bahnshcrift is actually an experimental OpenType Variable TrueType font that is not directly supported by the PDF specification. It can be emulated via instances embedded in the PDF file, but …

     

    Again, please send the samples requested and we will look at this.
