I am editing a pdf file and I am in need of the font Tele-GroteskNor, so it can match all of the other font in the file. Is there a way for me to get this font? Please help!

Unfortunately, whoever created the PDF didn't embed the fonts into the PDF, so you are now missing them in your PDF. There are 2 solutions:

 

 

Note that with solution #2, you must own the fonts or have the license to use them (be careful about copyright restrictions). The fonts also must be embeddable (that is, the font manufacturer doesn't prevent you from embedding the font characters into the PDF).  

 

There are quite a few websites with freebie versions of the font, but if you use them (or any version other than the one used by the document's creator) there 's a chance that text might miss a glyph or two. 

 

The best solution is #1, make the PDF correctly from the source file and embed the fonts at that stage.
