Hi, i don't have the font HELVETICA when i have to write on my file PDF.

 

HELP ME PLEASE

Correct answer Dov Isaacs

The Helvetica font family is not a font provided by Adobe. There is a TrueType Helvetica family bundled with MacOS, but not with Windows.

 

If you really prefer Helvetica, you need to license from a font vendor such as myfonts.com.

    I'm using MacOS and have Helvetica verified in Mac Font Book.  How do I then get Adobe to recognize that license?

      Use Arial, it's basically the same. In some Acrobat tools (check) Helvetica is at the top of the list, but not the editor, that would be wrong.

        Hi, thanks for all, yeah Arial it's the same, but Arial is "slighty darker" than Helvetica. The problem is that the file is all in Helvetica (classic) and if write with other font this is result.....
