I have a user that when opening PDFs that contain Arial font, they are displaying garbled, as shown below. I've tried removing and reinstalling Acrobat (it's Pro DC), deleting and reinstalling the font, and embedding the font in the document with the Adobe pre-flight tools. Any thoughts would be super appreciated!

There doesn't seem to be a way to change the font at all in the text boxes in Acrobat X Pro. I have done this (changed font color, font type, font size, etc) in text boxes without any problems in Acrobat 9.x Pro, so I know Adobe knows that has been a feature of Acrobat before. Some people are red-color blind and can not see bright red text. Only with Adobe Acrobat Reader you can view, sign, comment on, and share PDFs for free. And when you want to do more, subscribe to Acrobat Pro DC. Then you can edit, export, and send PDFs for signatures.

For end user / recipients experiencing the issue with Acrobat Reader DC, a known bug and fix is described at Adobe.

Python is also a multi-platform language, since the Python interpreter is available. . The combination of Tk’s GUI development portability and flexibility along with the simplicity of a scripting language integrated with the power of systems language gives you the tools to rapidly design and implement a wide variety of commercial-quality GUI applications.

For the source printing the document, I also had this problem until I implemented the fix found at an Adobe Forum:

You should do this on the system creating/printing the PDF;Adobe calls it 'milling'. Copied from the Adobe Forum:

  1. Click on START, DEVICES & PRINTERS, ADOBE PRINTER, PRINTER, PROPERTIES, PREFERENCES
  2. Then under the AdobePDF Settings tab click on DEFAULT, HIGH-QUALITY PRINT
    Next, UN-CHECK “Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts.”
    Click APPLY, OK

  3. Go back to Step 1 and click on the PAPER/QUALITY tab, ADVANCED
    Look for IMAGE COLOR MANAGEMENT, TRUE TYPE FONT:
    Click on the “Substitute with device font.” A dropdown box will appear. Click on “DOWNLOAD AS SOFTFONT.”

  4. Next, under DOCUMENT OPTIONS, click on POSTSCRIPT OPTIONS, TRUETYPE FONT DOWNLOAD OPTIONS:
    Click on “Automatic.” A dropdown box will appear.Click on “NATIVE TRUETYPE.”
    Click OK to close the pop-up window. You may have to click on APPLY once you get back to the Paper/Quality tab, then click on OK to close that window. If Apply is available in the Adobe PDF Properties window, click it then click OK one more time to close the window and “X” out of everything else. Your new preferences should be saved and your document should print in Adobe just like it looks on your screen in the original program.

How To Change The Font In Adobe Acrobat

The steps above will change your Adobe Printer Default Settings to accept and print fonts native to the document you are trying to create, instead of using Adobe's fonts to 're-create' the document leading to undesirable results.

You may need to reboot after adjusting these settings.
