Preview PDFs without local fonts installed

You can create a printable preview of your document that substitutes default fonts for any text formatted in fonts that are available on your local machine but are not embedded in the PDF. This can help you decide whether or not to embed those local fonts in the PDF, to achieve the look you want for your document.

  1. In Acrobat, choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat 8 > Preferences (Mac OS.
  2. Under Categories, select Page Display, and then deselect Use Local Fonts.
    Note:
    If a font cannot be substituted, the text appears as bullets, and Acrobat displays an error message.
