Want to reduce paper by removing e=xtraneous crap on a PDF, tough crap says adobe. Remove picture, still half a lage hole I cannot remove or or reduce, want weird uneditable bars that pop out and no way to remove, we have that for you! Clean up formatting and make a 2 page bunch of poop a nice single page, easy to read document, hell naw, you go buy expensive software for that. Adobe does none of it. Glad I dropped 100+ dollars on DC to zip, zilch, zero of what I want. You bet your ass I won't again!
Sorry but while I do feel your pain, I also (apparently) have a better understanding the overall mechanics and structure of the PDF. The fact that we can do ANY of this editing in a PDF is truly remarkable. I've been working with PDFs since the very beginning and what we can do now is truly amazing.
You have to understand that Acrobat is not a page editor program. It's primary focus is to distribute digital copies of media to a wide variety of platforms containing a wide discrepancy of page sizes, fonts, etc.
If you really really really want to edit the content of a page to the degree that you want, you'll have to go to the original page creation program that made it. If you want to change a word here or there, you can do that with Acrobat.
However, here's one big tip: PDF pages made from websites: Go to a website called "Print Friendly" and do what you have to do to get the Print Friendly link integrated into your browser. Now, when you see a web page you want to make a PDF out of, without leaving the page, select the Print Friendly link. Now you will see your web page with more of a focus on layout and you can click on an add and delete it. You can click on any of the content and delete it. Then when you print or PDF the page, you will NOT have any empty spaces. The one negative I've seen with this is that sometimes (seldom in fact), it will remove images that you may want even before you get achance to decide if you want them or not. Despite that, this is pretty cool.
All I did was copy-paste the .ttf files into C:\Windows\Fonts and they appeared in Adobe PDF after restarting the program. No Adobe Cloud, no Oleg Sidarenko, no opening 'File' this or 'Options' that, nothing. Just copy-paste and done.
If your on windows and have access to your fonts library through the control or command center you can simply find a free download of the font that you need and copy them into your fonts library. restart adobe and you should have the new fonts
Forget all the broken-record advice about Adobe Cloud from the gimps here, just scroll down to the post by Oleg Sidarenko in the above link and follow his directions. Managed to add fonts to DC (that had previously been installed to Windows) manually.
What people are asking--and I've run into this myself--is that you can install otf/ttf fonts in Windows and they will NOT be accessible in Acrobat DC. If you're trying to repair a document from someone else, that uses a given font and you can't find it via DC for either the File-Print to Adobe PDF--edit method, or the Preflight method, then you can't do the work.
It is a bit tricky.
1. The font which you want to activate using the Adobe CC app can be previewed in the font tab of the adobe application which you are using. *When the font is not available for editing it just shows the name.
2. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud app and go to the fonts tab.
3. Enter the font you wish to activate in the search tab.
4. You will be redirected to a page in the web browser. Just double-click the font and then click on the active tab on the top right-hand side.
5. Restart the Adobe application to use and edit.
I also have this issue and would very much like it resolved. I have tried to recommended items and the font is on my adobe creative and my machine but the pdf editor refuses to offer or use it. This is such a huge pain and may mean I completely change the font of the document which is extremely frustrating.
So, have got some unique fonts via creative cloud, which I use in word, but then when I convert to pdf, I cannot get those fonts?????????? How bloody ridiculous, when I got the fonts via adobe in the first place!!!!!!!!
Hi all,
I have the same issue on Mac 10.13.6 Acrobat DC Pro 2019.
Missing fonts are installed on the sytem and they show up in Ilustrator but not in Acrobat.
Tried to clean cache and preferences but nothing worked.
Any idea ?
I have activated 3 fonts from Adobe Fonts via the Adobe Creative Cloud. They appear in the word font menu, but when I convert to pdf, the fonts are automatically changed. When I go into edit pdf, I an see the Adobe Fonts there, so I can manually change them. It appears however that I cannot embed them, as they do not appear in any of the embedding font sources.
I had a small pop up. It included a few font choices. It also had a few choices in fonts like Staple font, Medium, Dark and you could select which font of your choice. I can't find it.
Please help

I can't be the only person who imagined the office of the future, free from the confines of the eight and a half by eleven sheet (or A4, for my international friends), would have long since arrived. Instead, we've managed to land in an intermediate state of not paperless, but less paper.
Between a trusty scanner, email and various other communication tools, and getting really good at organizing my digital archives, I'm not totally unhappy with where we are today. And I do occasionally admit to reading a paper book, sending a postcard, or (gasp) printing something off to give to someone else.
Until the world moves a little further from paper, print-ready file formats will continue to permeate our digital landscape as well. And, love it or hate it, PDF, the "portable document format," seems to be the go-to format for creating and sharing print-ready files, as well as archiving files that originated as print.
For years, the only name in the game for working with PDF documents was Adobe Acrobat, whether in the form of their free reader edition or one of their paid editions for PDF creation and editing. But today, there are numerous open source PDF applications which have chipped away at this market dominance. And for Linux users like me, a proprietary application that only runs on Windows or Mac isn't an option anyway.
Since PDF files are used in so many different situations for so many different kinds of purposes, you may need to shop around to find the open source alternative to Adobe Acrobat that meets your exact needs. Here are some tools I enjoy.
For reading PDFs, these days many people get by without having to use an external application at all. Both Firefox and Chromium, the open source version of Google's Chrome browser, come bundled with in-browser PDF readers, so an external plugin is no longer necessary for most users.
For downloaded files, users of GNOME-based Linux distributions have Evince (or Atril on the GNOME 2 fork, MATE), a powerful PDF reader that handles most documents quickly and with ease. Evince has a Windows port as well, although Windows users may also want to check out the GPLv3-licensed SumatraPDF as an alternative. KDE's Okular serves as the PDF reader for the Plasma Desktop. All of these have the ability to complete PDF forms, view and make comments, search for text, select text, and so on.
Personally, LibreOffice's export functionality ends up being the source of 95% of the PDFs I create that weren't built for me by a web application. Scribus, Inkscape, and GIMP all support native PDF export, too, so no matter what kind of document you need to make -- a complex layout, formatted text, vector or raster image, or some combination -- there's an open source application that meets your needs.
For practically every other application, the CUPS printing system does an excellent job of outputting documents as PDF, because printers and PDFs both rely on PostScript to represent data on page (whether the page is digital or physical).
If you don't need fancy graphical interfaces, you can also generate PDFs through plain text with a few handy terminal commands. Everyone has their favourite, but probably the most popular is Pandoc, which takes nearly any format of document and translates it to nearly any other format. Its ability to translate text formats is staggering, so it's probably all you really need. However, there are several other solutions, including Docbook, Sphinx, and LaTeX.
Editing is a loaded term. For some people, editing a PDF means changing a few words or a swapping out an old image for a new one, while for others it means altering metadata such as bookmarks, and for still others it means manipulating page order or adjusting print resolution. The authoritative answer nobody ever wants is: don't edit PDFs, edit the source and then export a new PDF. That's not always possible, though, and luckily there are some great tools to make all manner of edits possible.
LibreOffice Draw does a fantastic job of editing PDF files, giving you full access to the text and images. There are caveats to this, because of the flexibility of the PDF format. If you haven't installed the fonts used in the PDF, then the flow of text could change due to font substitution,. If the PDF was created from a scan, then you'll only have images of text and not editable text.
Inkscape, too, does a good job with opening documents created elsewhere, and may be a more intuitive choice if your document is heavy on graphics. If you don't have a font installed, Inkscape (through the Poppler renderer) can trace characters so that the appearance of text is maintained even without the actual font data. Of course, that loses the text data (you have only the shapes of letters, not the selectable text itself) but it's a nice feature when appearance matters most.
