Use local fonts

When you view a PDF document which has fonts which are not embedded, you can use the Adobe Acrobat function Use Local Fonts. The following will happen:

Use Local Fonts off



Use Local Fonts on



Adobe Acrobat uses the fonts of the PDF document and substitutes all fonts which are not embedded. This font substitution will always happen, even if the fonts are installed on the computer where you are viewing the PDF document. This will give you an impression of how someone else will see the PDF document on his or her computer. This may sometimes result in incorrect character spacing or distorted letter shapes. Adobe Acrobat uses the fonts on the computer where you are viewing the PDF document.
