How can I make sure all fonts included in a PDF are imbedded and available for Touch-ups or even to be deleted.
I am trying to delete some text, and I get an error message that states "All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font." Is there any way around this?
To edit text in a PDF in any way the font used in the PDF has to be resident, installed and licensed for such use on the machine that the editing is being done on.
It's a very simple and basic software licensing issue. If person A buys fonts for machine A, creates a PDF using these fonts and sends it to person B, why should simply creating a PDF allow person B on machine B to use such fonts as if they were installed on machine B. For example, there are fonts that can be bought that cannot be embedded in PDFs. Quite simply the font owner does not license the use of the font for such purposes.
If you want more help on this, let the forum know how the PDF was created, what fonts are used, and what font is used in the particular text you're tryng to edit.
Cheers

What you can do is highlight the text you want to remove, then right-click on the text and select Properties.
The properites screen will let you change the font. The drop down menu will list the embedded fonts at the top, then you'll see a space followed by another list of fonts. Any font below that space is a system font. Pick one, then click OK.
Now you can delete the text that you highlighted.
