Hello, 

 

I've been triyng to embed font into a PDF form created with Acrobat but I am not able too. 

 

I am following this steps for Adobe: 

  1. Find your font. To embed the fonts that are not already embedded, go to File > Print. Bring up the Adobe PDF settings and properties, then Adobe PDF settings.  

 

I don't have this Adobe PDF settings anywhere in the print window. Can anyone help? 

 

Thank you

There is no way you should be using the Adobe PDF printer with a form. You will lose all the form fields you carefully added. There is no way you should be printing PDF to PDF at all, in fact. Where did you find these instructions?

This is something I found on Adobe Acrobat website on how to Embed fonts so probably wrong for what I am trying to do. Do you know if it's possible to embed fonts in a PDF form? If I share the PDF form with someone else that doesn't have the font installed, is there any way for them to edit the text with the same font?

Ok, so these are fillable fields. And the people filling it just click and type - they do not choose EDIT in Acrobat?

If so, there is good news - the fonts used for form fields already are embedded, and so everyone using Acrobat Reader should see the same thing. (If that isn't happening, we need to look in that problem - please show screen shots of the problem including the whole app window, not just the form).


The problem is I can'tguarantee people editing have Acrobat Reader, they could use any softwares to edit this forms and I have no control over that. I don't have expamples of the problem but I know that some people receiving this files can't see some of the fonts, the form just revert to a alternative free font like Arial. 

Also the fonts in my form don't show as embeded on the PDF.
