Find out if pdf doc contains (embeds) ALL fonts inside?

Post by mattad »

When creating a pdf doc most pdf drivers offer an option to embed all necessary fonts into the pdf doc too.
Fine so far.

Now assume I get an already created pdf doc from someone else.

Can I find out with XChange Viewer (Pro) if all necessary fonts are already included?

And - if not - add the missing fonts afterwards (without changing the existing "main" pdf doc content)?

What about the other way: Can I strip all embedded fonts from a pdf doc?

Hello Matt,

Open a PDF File in our Viewer and then Press Ctrl-D (or File -> Document Properties) - and then on the left side select the "Fonts" entry.
You will now see a list of all fonts used in a document, and whether or not those fonts are embedded.

You can not add or remove fonts without recreating the file so you will need to "reprint" a document in order to make changes to the fonts included in that file.

Best,
Stefan
