adding fonts to Adobe DC

[J. David Matthews]

How do you add a new font to Adobe DC.  I have a monthly subscription and need to add a new font for when I edit a PDF

[John T Smith]

Adobe is the COMPANY name... Acrobat is the program name

You add fonts via your operating system

A new Adobe Acrobat Pro DC user!!

Have installed the software program containing the special fonts. Fonts listed in C:\/Windows/Fonts folder. Acrobat ProDC is unable to process these fonts when resaving an edited PDF-A file to PDF-X format.

It's likely, that those specific fonts do not allow embedding into forms. You should use the Preflight-Tool in Acrobat to test your forms for PDF/A and PDF/X standards.

Hi Radzmar:

I will look more closely to find the Preflight-Tool in installed software.

I installed the Finale music notation software so the special music font files would make it into the Windows Font folder. I reset the Security Preferences on each file to allow any user or backgound program to access the fonts. I dropped the updated fonts into any Adobe Acrobat folder with the word "font" in file description. I even dropped the updated font files into the main program folder. 

Weird thing is, three of the files correctly transistioned from pdf/A to pdfX....initiating the change with another file is proving a monumental task.

Your thoughts, please. . . . .

Hello!!

Managed to solve the issue with a bit more digging into the mechanics of the software:

I finally noticed there are 4 variations of .PDF/X!!!

PDF/X-1A

PDF/X-3

PDF/X-4

PDF/X-4P

I'm not sure what the program default PDF/X variation is, BUT after manually selecting PDF/X-1A, I have not had any further problems saving the files with the fonts properly embedding the specific music fonts from the Finale music notation program: music engraver fonts, specifically.

My thanks goes out to the community for its many insightful responses!! 

STICK TOGETHER!

To incorporate a new font into Adobe Acrobat DC for PDF editing:

Firstly, acquire the font file you want to add. Install it on your computer by right-clicking (Windows) or double-clicking (Mac) and selecting "Install Font."

After installing, restart Adobe Acrobat DC. Open a PDF file and select the "Edit PDF" tool. Highlight the text you wish to modify, then navigate to the Format panel. Look for the font dropdown menu; your newly added font should now appear there.

Select the added font from the dropdown menu to apply it to the selected text or use it for new text input. Adobe Acrobat DC will recognize the newly installed font for your editing needs.
