    Incorrect font (i.e., different font in PowerPoint than in PDF)? If this is the case, the problem may be that the font(s) used in the PDF file is not installed on your Mac. In order for PDF exported to some other format to yield the correct format when that other format document is opened, you must have the font(s) used in the PDF file installed on your system. The export function cannot export the font itself.

     

    Wrong characters displaying? If this is the case, the problem may be a combination of non-embedded font in your PDF file and missing or incorrect character encoding tables in you PDF file. This may be checked and possibly corrected with Acrobat Pro's Preflight functions.

    The fonts are installed on my Mac. Font type is Community, a common font. The font that was exported in this case is Arial instead. Are there any settings to fix this?
