CreativeCloud comes with it and it's foundry of fonts. I was very happy with this and synced fonts across all my devices, including iPad. It used to work just fine and I primarily used these fonts while using Microsoft Word on the iPad and Acrobat, etc...

I'm not sure what happened a few weeks ago, but I noticed the fonts were not available on my iPad. When I went into the Creative Cloud app and into the Fonts section to re-add the fonts, I get the message "Not in your plan".


I called support and got bounced around until someone told me that they don't support the mobile app. Adobe doesn't support the mobile app? He told me to contact Apple because it was on the iPad, which is clearly not the solution. The guy must have been misinformed.


But the same fonts used to work on my iPad, and continue to work on the PC and Mac. It's clearly in my plan. For some reason, the Creative Cloud app on the iPad does not recognize that my plan includes it.


Thanks for your response. I have merged your conversation with the one in which we discussed the same issue. Could you please check whether you're signing in with your business ID on your iPad or not? Please ensure you're selecting a business profile when signing in.


Interestingly, when signing in with my Adobe ID on the iPad, it does not give me the option to select a profile. I recently made my business profile the default when signing in, but this still hasn't resolved the issue.


Thanks for the info. If switching between personal and business account doesn't help. I'd recommend reaching out to and working with our support directly as a next step. They can be reached here: =autoOpen


Thanks for the response. Just to be sure, you're saying that you do not get the option to select a profile when you're signing in on an iPad, but you're getting that profile selection option when you're signing in on the web? Correct?


I just deleted Acrobat and reinstalled. It automatically pulled my sign-in info from Creative Cloud (I think), and it didn't register my pro subscription. Then I signed out of Acrobat app, and signed back in using my Adobe ID (manual entry). After inputting my password, it asked for my profile. When I selected my business profile, it recognized the pro subscription.


my name is Brady, and I'm the product manager for the Creative Cloud mobile app. I understand the situation you're describing, and our team is investigating. It sounds likely the app is choosing a default profile without access to fonts on start-up. We'll follow up soon, thank you for letting us know this is happening.


The set of Postscript fonts available in PlanetPress Design is the combination of those available in the PlanetPress Design Fonts subfolder of the Windows Common Files folder (in a default installation, the path of this subfolder is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Suite X\Fonts) and those available in the PPD file selected for the document.


If you have the Monotype App installed on your system, you can sync and start working with your favorite fonts with a single click as you browse the Monotype Fonts inventory. Fonts are synced in the background and are made available in a matter of seconds, without the need for manual installation.


The Monotype App is also configured to work with third-party fonts. Company admins can upload fonts purchased from other foundries to the Monotype Fonts platform for easier font management, improved security, and simplified license tracking, while creatives can use the same simple workflow to design with Monotype fonts and third-party fonts alike.


Once you have the Monotype App installed, you can sync an entire set of fonts from a family page by clicking on the Sync family button. When you click this button, fonts start syncing with your desktop in the background and are ready for use in a matter of seconds.


From the Sync to Monotype App tab, you can choose to sync individual font weights and styles. You can also choose which format(s) (CFF or TTF) your fonts are synced in. Once you've selected your preferences, you may again choose to sync the entire family by clicking the Sync family button at the bottom of the dialog.


Microsoft Word, and other word processors like Libre Office Writer, already come with a list of pre-installed fonts. So, before you install a new font, it's best to check whether you already have one that will do the job.


For the party invitation in the screenshot above, I want to use a calligraphy-style font. As none of the pre-installed fonts on the list are exactly what I'm looking for, I am going to install a new one.


Caution: In this guide, we've used a well-known and reputable third-party site. The steps in this guide can be applied to other font websites, but before you download anything, ensure it's from a trusted source.


This site allows me to either search for the name of the font, if I have one in mind, or to browse by category. Select the category that best fits what you're looking for. I've selected Calligraphy.


You can now browse all available fonts and choose which one you want to download. This could take a while. Dafontfree.io has over 2000 fonts, and it's easy to fall down a rabbit hole while checking out all the available fonts!


On the font download page, select Download. This will download a zip file containing your font file. Your font file will be in either OTF (OpenType font) or TTF (TrueType font) format. Both formats are fine for Word, LibreOffice Writer, and most other word processors.


Once you have downloaded your font, it will appear in the drop-down list of fonts in your word processor. When I did this, I found that I could see the new font straightaway in Word, but for LibreOffice Writer, I needed to close my document, and reopen it, in order to see the new font.


The screenshots in this guide show Microsoft Word running on a Windows operating system. These steps will also work on Macs, Chromebooks, and Linux distros like Ubuntu. We've tested this with Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer, but you can install fonts on any word processor application that supports OTF and TTF font files.


If you're planning to use a font for commercial purposes, such as in your company's logo or branding, check the information on the website and read the Electronic User Licensing Agreement if you have one. The dafontfree.io site provides a link to purchase fonts for commercial use where applicable.
