Hello,
I'm trying to embed fonts in my pdf using Acrobat Pro DC. I don't see the "fix potential font problems" under the PDF fixups in the preflight. Am I missing something?
Ahhh! No, mine was in essentials. Thank you SO much! Greatly appreciated!

At the top of the screen, do you see Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Profiles?

Great answer. I have the same issue. I have 2 pdf's. Separately they are fine. When I combine them into one, some of the text becomes boxes and just gobbledygook. I am using Prefight for the first time, trying to solve this issue. I followed your instructions above but the problem was not corrected.
When I roll my cursor over the fonts, I am seeing fonts named -- Arial 4250 or Times New Roman 4244, 4255, 4256. I've never heard of these fonts. Do you have any insight?
If I need to have the fonts on my computer to embed them, maybe this is the problem. I have never heard of these fonts.
Thanks --

Try running the embed font preflight on each PDF before combining them.
Here is a link to a related discussion:

Thanks, that was my issue too.
re: embed fonts at creation of PDF, sure, in an ideal world or if you can control creating every PDF. But PDFs come from all over and as I imagine we're all familiar, you never know what you'll find in a PDF. Never a dull moment.
