Correct answer Amal.

Hi Sebastien,

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry to keep you waiting.  We have got some updates from the engineering team as below:

By default MyriadPro-Regular font is used for signing. The issue might arise if the font which is used for signing is present under C:\Windows\Fonts but is a shortcut linking to other software's cache.

So, let's try out a few steps and check the behavior:

  1. Please check if the same font is present under C:\Windows\Fonts
  2. If present,  Is it a font shortcut?
  3. Uninstall the MyriadPro-Regular font from the Windows Fonts directory (C:\Windows\Fonts ) and see the behavior.
  4. Install the Adobe provided MyriadPro-Regular font into the Windows Fonts directory and check the behavior.

    If it still doesn't work: please try cleaning Local app data cache here  %LOCALAPPDATA%\Adobe\Acrobat\<track> and reboot the computer once and check.

 

Let us know how it goes.

 

Regards

Amal

    Hi there

     

    It seems to be the font issue with the PDF file. Please go to Edit (Win), Adobe Acrobat (Mac) > preferences > Page Display > Under rendering Select 'Use local fonts' > Click OK and reboot the computer.

     

    You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Windows or enable the root account in Mac and try using the application there .

     

    Regars
