Can you select and copy text? Can you share a sample file?

Hi, If I don't quite understand what's going on, buy a font, install it on your computer, and then it doesn't look right in Acrobat? Or when editing doesn't allow it?- Greetings,

We have installed a new font in word.
I have Adobe Pro and creating a new PDF with all the usual functionality and this new font works fine on my machine.
Other people in the company do not have Adobe Pro and (we think) the new font doesn't let the full functionality of Adobe work in the newly created PDF.
Any ideas?

How did you make the PDF?
I'm assuming that the original source document is MS Word, there are 4 ways to make a PDF:

OK, let's try this another way ...
Choose one of these 2 options:
There is an outside chance that the new font you purchased can't be embedded into PDFs. Font manufacturers set whether to give the buyer embedding rights or to protect the font. Look at the EULA (end user licensing agreement) to determine if it can be embedded into digital media files, like PDFs.

You cannot "install a new font in Word".
A font is installed in the computer's OS and is available to all software.

Two times you have said "the new font doesn't let the full functionality of Adobe work in the newly created PDF." This does not help. Details are important. And a sample. We asked for a sample file. Please don't just repeat unhelpful replies.

We have purchased the following fonts that we use in word:
Altivo light
Altivo medium
Altivo regular
When we create a PDF the text is seen as a picture and not as text therefore not searchable like a normal PDF. Please see attached, does this help?
