PDF-XChange Editor - Fondsytle

Post by Avantag17 »

I have the Issue that from one day to another, the fondstyle of certain text passages are shown in a different fond than the original document was created in.

In the picture you see that "Skills" is correctly shown, but everything following is shown in a different text fond, even tho it should be the same text fond.

"Skills" are "Arial Bold" and the following text is standard "Arial".

How can i fix this, since i think it has to do with the display options in PDF-XChange Editor

Hello Avantag17,

Most likely the fonts used in your document are not embedded in the file, and the Editor is trying to look for substitutes - that are apparently not matching what was intended for that text to look like.
The correct way to ensure a document displays as intended, especially when some special fonts are used, is to embed the used fonts inside the document. A way for you to do so is to save a file as PDF/A and that will force embed all used fonts.

You can read a bit more on why font substitution is needed here:

Kind regards,
Stefan
