FlexiPDF can list all of the fonts used in a PDF plus additional information about the nature of each font.

  1. Choose Document > Fonts to view the font catalogue.

    Fonts introduced during the current editing session will not appear until the PDF is saved.
    The columns shown are:
    1. Font name
      Names prefixed with XXXXXX+ represent subset fonts (embedded with only a subset of their full character set).
    2. Type
      The format of the font. There are many formats that may be used within a PDF – TrueType, Type1, Type3, OpenType, etc.
    3. Actual Font
      Embedded indicates that the characters required by the PDF are included inside the PDF.
      To save space, PDF producers sometime choose not to include the fonts required in a PDF. If not embedded, FlexiPDF will choose a font from your computer's system fonts to display the text. This can result in a loss of fidelity. The name of the chosen replacement font will then be shown in the column instead.
    4. Unicode
      The encoding format of the font. Most fonts are encoded as Unicode nowadays.
    5. No. of Glyphs
      The number of characters shapes defined by the font. To save space, some PDF producers only include definitions for the character shapes actually used in a PDF.
  2. Select a font, then click Replace to open the Find and Replace Font dialog box.
  3. Press Remap to change the characters mappings of the font. See Remapping fonts.
