However if I open a blank file, then 'place' the PDF in the file, it inserts it as an 'Embedded Document', which looks like it should with Georgia being the assigned font. I don't understand why both methods aren't opening the same way?
Just stumbled upon the same problem. I printed a OneNote note to pdf with Microsofts PDF Printer and tried to open the PDF in Affinity. When I open the PDF in Illustrator it displays the text correctly but is still missing those PostScript CIDFont+F1 fonts.
If you want to Open the PDF you need to have the fonts installed. If you don't have them, you could use Place, with the Passthrough option instead, but you will not be able to edit the contents of the PDF.
Here is a little video that shows a good process for this. You will need a trial or access to Acrobat first though:
Opening a PDF in Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer without the fonts
Yet, Adobe Acrobat DC does show the correct font names in the Format pane when I select various text boxes on the document canvas (e.g. Arial, Courier New, Roboto), so that information must be stored somewhere.
On one hand you will surely also need to implement the part commented as analogous code for other font subtypes above; and even the TYPE0 part is not ready for production use as it only considers FONTFILE2 and does not handle null values gracefully.
I opened a PDF on illustrator and saw that I don't have the fonts present in the pdf, and I can't even find them on Google. I really need them to save me a lot of work (putting all the texts in font I own).
Eu abri um PDF no illustrator e vi que eu no tenho as fontes presentes no pdf, e ainda eu no consigo sequer achar elas de jeito nenhum no Google. Preciso muito delas para me poupar um grande trabalho (o de colocar todos os textos em fontes que eu possua).
I have received a PDF file as an attachment to an email and can open and view and print it from within the email but when I save the file to my computer and then try to open the file I get an error message saying that CIDFont+F1 cannot be created or found. The file opens but the text is just displayed as a series of dots.
No, that's not how it works - this was a mistake in the old post from years ago. That's what you may have found for a file or a number of files. But names like this just mean that the fonts are given random names in the order some app or person used them.
This is false. There are no specifc fonts assigned to those. For example, I have a document with "CIDFont+F1" as the font being used in a PDF, and the font in question was Tahoma, not Arial.
ES - No me ha funcionado abrir en Vista Previa, la opcin "Exportar a PDF" se queda en gris, y no he tenido forma para que se active, he cambiado permisos del documento...en fin, todo lo que se hacer, no he podido.
EN - It has not worked for me to open in Preview, the option "Export to PDF" is grayed out, and I have not had a way to activate it, I have changed document permissions... In short, everything that was done, I could not. (automatic translation)
I am evaluating among few PDF editors in the market now to decide which is good for me. I have Acrobat DC Pro in main PC for 2 years but I am not going to spend that amount of money for this secondary PC.
Nitro Pro 12 is the 1st I try, but rather disappointing at the text editing function. It just won't choose the correct font. The file is using embedded font CIDFont+F1 to F4, Nitro uses TimesNewRomanPSMT which is totally different. I have to manually tried until i found a matching font ArialMT, this is very annoying. Under File>Document Properties>Font tab it lists all the embedded fonts in the file.
However there is a notification i observe saying "The license for this font does not allow you to embed it in your file. Please try using another font." Anyway why on earth Nitro can't automatically choose a compatible font??
I try Nuance after this, it keeps prompting unable to use the embedded font every time i click on different text, but at least it auto selects the nearest font (Arial) to use (to me it looks identical). "The original font F3 is not available or can't be used in editing. Power PDF is using the font Arial in its place."
Next is Infix, the text editing is perfect without issue. The embedded font is being used, all the CIDFont+F1 until F4 are listed under drop-down font list. However F2 is remarked in red "This font does not contain all the characters required".

I noticed twice that Elasticsearch crashed after some warnings about PDTrueTypeFont Using fallback font. After these warnings, the garbage collector starts to alert about the overload. Then a fatal error - lambda $MaybeDieOnAnotherThread $2 - and finally a Java heap space OutOfMemoryError that interrupts Elasticsearch.
I'm not really sure if the warnings about PDTrueTypeFont Using fallback font are related to OutOfMemoryError. That's what I plan to get help to find out.
Forgive me if I wrote it in any strange way or if I seem rude or ignorant. English is not my native language.

Okay guys. Thank you so much for your time. The update will likely take some time. Last time we updated it required a lot of adaptations to our product and our team is too small to test all the consequences of updates on third party products. Also part of the team expressed concerns about the license changes. It is because of these points that we are stagnant in 7.2.
The latest changes have left us in doubt about how free to use Elasticsearch is and how this use can or cannot be interpreted as simple consumption or reselling. But this, our legal support validates from time to time.
When you open a PowerPoint 2010 or later presentation that was created on a different computer and saved in the "PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation" format with the fonts embedded, you find that the original fonts are replaced by other fonts.
Just reading the title of your post led me to suspect that fonts are the most likely issue. it could be that the conversion process relies upon an external font needing to be installed, even if the font is embedded into the PDF.
Try Kernel for PDF to Word converter tool to convert your PDF files to Word file format. Download the demo tool and check the converted document, it will be same as per the original PDF document, if the default fonts are available.

In the end I converted it to JPEG images, then combined them back to a PDF. From there converted it to Word and the text was correctly picked up. Cover page and a few images were messed up but it was easy enough to re-create them.
CIDFont is not a real font, but a substitute created by the software that exported the PDF. The software probably had some issues embedding the original font, and created a CIDFont instead.
I believe the F1 to F5 define the weight of the font.
If you do not need to do any text corrections you might consider te following:
Instead of opening your file in Illustrator directly, import the file in a new Illustrator document. Then use the Transparency Flattener to create outlines of the text. This way there is no need to find the correct fonts. However, you cannot edit text (unless you like to try some copy/pasting characters manually) ?
