Hello 

 

I installed the last version of Acrobat DC 
I'm trying to open a document with a barcode Font  ( The Font is already installed to the computer)
I've already tried to change the setting on Preferences > Page Display > Use Local Fonts 
And didn't work for me.

if it opens the file with other PDF readers it is working properly  
you can see the attache files how it should be and how is showing 

TNX

Such fonts should be embedded in the PDF file itself. And I suspect that the PDF file in question doesn't have a proper encoding table for that missing font and as such, Acrobat doesn't map the characters in the PDF to the proper characters in the font on your system.

 

As Luke Jennings recommends in his response, if you indeed have the proper font installed on your system, Acrobat Pro DC Preflight does have a fixup to embed missing fonts. That may fix the problem although missing map/encoding tables can still be a problem.

 

Bottom line is that the PDF file should be properly created with all accessed fonts properly subset embedded within the PDF file. Anything else is a crapshoot at best!

The fonts in your PDF may not be properly embedded. Try going to Preferences> Page Display> Rendering> Use local fonts. Turn it on if it's off, and off if it's on. If that fixes it, try using a Preflight Fixup to embed the font, or it may not print correctly, regardless of how it looks in other viewers. You can confirm the font is embedded by going to File> Properties> Fonts.
