Allandnone font

Hello, I have long documents that use allandnone font. This font does not seem to be availble on Acrobat. Is there any way to get it or purchase it please? No other font is close enough. Thank you.

    It's not actually a font of its own. Whatever program created your PDF embedded a subset of ALL the characters in your document and lumped them together in a fake set called All And None, with it's own custom encoding. It can actually be any font or any combinations of fonts of any weight in the same embedding.

    Based on your screen grab, yours is a subsetted Arial. Use that.

      How to convert allandnone in Acrobat Pro? 
      I'm looking to replace it, or 'unpack' it.

      " I will have to ask the client for pdfs without the merged font"

      They probably can't. The allandnone tends to happen when using utilities to combine and optimize PDFs that are not "typical" e.g. like some third-party PDF editors, or some of the "converters" online. It tends to be a cumulative effect. Unfortunately, there is no practical way to fix the allandnone after the fact. Since it can be a mix of many fonts in one subset, even if the majority of it was, say Arial, you can't do an effective find and replace without affecting other fonts. What you CAN do is find where the allandnone is being used (assuming you have full Acrobat) in the file by going to Print Production > Preflight (doesn't matter what Profile is selected) > Inventory > Fonts, then review the resulting report. It will show you all the embedded fonts used  and the actual glyphs stored in each subset, and on what pages they appear. You will probably see a glyph set for allandnone that has more than just one font in it.

       

       If you don't need to do any editing, and the allandnone is causing isssue, obvioulsy you can just outline the fonts using a Preflight Profile


      I got all that and the full Acrobat, and it is genious. But can't have outlines. I am more looking to convert CID type 0 to something useable on the fly. Not sure how to do that.
