Question

Acrobat Reader DC can't read Thai font.

Hi, I've found some problems that the Reader couldn't read Thai font (in comment section). I've already installed the Extended Asian Language Pack, but it didn't work. I don't know how to fix it, I've tried to reinstall the program but the problem is still there. Does anyone has any idea? Please give me some suggestion. Thank you!

    For 2024. Go to 'Edit > Preferences > Commenting > Font' then select font that support Thai language e.g., Tahoma, Cordia New, Browallia New.

    Hi there 

     

    we are sorry for the trouble and the delay in response. It seems like the Thai font is not embedded in the PDF file or its not available/installed on your computer.

     

    Please try the following preferences settings and see if that works

     

    Go to Edit (Windows), Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (Mac) > Preferences > Page Display > Under Rendering, Select 'Use local fonts' > Click OK and check

     

    For more information please refer to the help article (https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-fonts.html)

     

    Let us know how it goes.

     

    Regards

    I'm using Mac Catalina and Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 2020.012.20041.

    It seems that this version of Reader cannot handle Thai language at all. Here's part of a document originally edited with Mac Preview:

    Here's what that same document part looks like when attempting to edit in Reader:

    Here's my preferences for Page Display.

    How do I select the font in Reader if I want to enter or edit Thai text? I don't see any place to do that. It's easy in Mac Preview but it seems to be impossible in Reader.

    Hi there

     

    We are sorry to hear that.

     

    Acrobat supports the entry and display of Thai and Vietnamese text. In Windows only, Arabic and Hebrew are also supported. By default, Right-To-Left Language Options is enabled under Arabic and Hebrew regional settings (in Windows).

     

    For more information please look at the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/asian-cyrillic-right-to-left.html#hebrew_arabic_thai_and_vietnamese_language_pdfs

     

    Hope this information will help

     

    Regards

    Amal
