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
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.
This is an INFO if you are using the current version (2.0.11). It is only relevant if you use PDFBox to create PDFs, it means that certain advanced font features (GDEF, GSUB, GPOS) are not (yet) supported. You'll need these for certain languages e.g. Thai or Arabic or Indian languages. It can also be used for ligatures in latin languages (fl, fi, ffl, ffi).
As for Magnolia, PDFBox is used either in indexing of pdf documents or in generating preview of pdf. For first use case error is completely irrelevant, for the second it might mean that preview is not as accurate as it could be. Nothing major tho either. You can reconfigure log4j to stop seeing this error.
Getting an embedded font error message ("Cannot extract the embedded font XXXX...") when opening a Nitro Pro created fillable form in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Initially the form field font was ArialMT and got a CID Font+F1 error when opened in Adobe. Changed the font to Helvetica and now getting a CID Font+F5 error message.
Have turned off both "Show font embedding notifications" and "Show in-product messages" in the Nitro Pro preferences. Both the F1 and F5 show up in the embedded font listing in Nitro PRO embedded font list when accessing Document Properties-Fonts. Show as "CID Font+FX (embedded), Type: TrueType (CID), encoding: identity-H" where X = F1 or F5.
Using Nitro Pro 13.53.3.1073. The original PDF file the fillable form was created from does not show errors when opened in Adobe. Have upgraded Adobe Acrobat Reader to current version and same error shows when opened on other computers with other versions of Adobe Reader.

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.
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 have PDF file which designed very long before and its contains some fonts which are unavailable in my new computer. The PDF file shows the blank white space in adobe reader, but if I open it in my browser its showing all the text properly. Also I have Acrobat Pro and i tried to copy the text with Acrobat Pro text tool, But its copying confused characters such as symbols. How to repair my PDF?
We are using capture 12.2.1.2.0 and came across an issue for PDF documents with CID fonts . Capture is not able to process the files and all the characters inside the document getting garbled. Looks like Oracle opened a bug and the fix is still in progress. In the mean time to handle these type of documents Is there any way to read PDF file fonts in capture (May be using a custom Import Script), so that I can set some flags during commit into WCC to classify those documents and work on it later to correct the native file. Please advise.
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).
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) ?
Typography is one of the most important factors in designing both digital content and print media. One of those fonts that takes attention and comes into the limelight in the design industry is CIDFont F1 Font. In this article, an effort is made to go through what it is, its importance, advantages, how to install it, best practices for using it, and its influence on design, SEO, and web development.
CIDFont F1 is flexible and versatile and, as opposed to other ordinary fonts, it runs with an individuality system of identification of characters. This enhances the ability to render more sharply and with better quality display across different platforms and resolutions. The font looks clear on the mobile, tablet, or PC.
What the CIDFont F1 Font brings to typography is great in terms of characters, signs, and symbols without any quality or size detriment. This characterful set allows designers to push the creative bar.
