Embed fonts using the TouchUp Text tool

Embedding fonts ensures that your PDF uses the same fonts as the original document, no matter where you open the PDF or what fonts are installed on that system.

  1. Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > TouchUp Text Tool, or select the TouchUp Text tool on the Advanced Editing toolbar.
  2. Click in the text containing the font embedding or subsetting you want to edit. A paragraph of text is enclosed in a bounding box. You can select text within the paragraph by dragging.
  3. Right-click/Control-click the text, and choose Properties.
  4. In the TouchUp Properties dialog box, click the Text tab to display the font name and font properties as well as embedding and subset capabilities.
  5. To see a list of all the fonts, scroll through the Font menu. Document fonts are listed first. Your system fonts are listed below the document fonts.
  6. Choose a font in the Font menu, check the permissions to determine which options are available for that font, and then select an embedding option:

    Can Embed Font
    You can select both the embed and subset options. To embed the entire font rather than a subset, make sure that Subset is not selected.

    Can Embed For Print And Preview Only
    You can select the embed option.

    Cannot Embed Font
    Neither the embed or subset option is available.

    Cannot Embed Font For Editing
    You can unembed or subset embed the font. To unembed a font, make sure that Embed Selected Font is not checked. If you unembed a font that is not installed on your system, font substitution occurs and the viewing results may be unacceptable. When only a limited number of font characters are used in a document, subsetting is usually used to decrease the size of the PDF file.

    No System Font Available
    Neither the embed or subset option is available.

Insert special characters

You can insert certain special characters (line breaks, soft hyphens, nonbreaking spaces, and em dashes) in a tagged PDF to improve the way it reflows. You can also insert these special characters in any PDF to improve the way it’s read by a screen reader or simply to edit it for general readability purposes. You do not need to have the font installed in order to insert special characters.

  1. Select the TouchUp Text Tool.
  2. Click where you want to insert the character, or select text to be replaced by the character.
  3. Right-click/Control-click the selected text or location, choose Insert and then select an option.
