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 Sebastien,

     

    We are sorry to hear that. The issue mainly arrises when the required font is not priperly embedded in the PDF file or its not present on your system or you may not have the required permission to use the font.

    FOr more information about font embedding, please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-fonts.html

    Hello,

    I have read your link bute i haven't found a solution. What can i do for the font.

    I am not sure that it's comming from this. A user can sign document for few weeks and one day it's not working. The documents are the same or made with the same way (from word document).

    regards,
