PDF Font Checker FAQ

Why must fonts be embedded?

A font that isn’t embedded is replaced by another one on the printer’s system, so text can change shape, reflow or lose characters.

Is a subset font OK?

Yes. A subset contains only the characters the document uses, which is normal and fine for printing.

What about fonts used only for invisible text?

Scanned documents often have invisible text for searching. It doesn’t print, so a font used only there is harmless.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The file is checked in your browser and never leaves your device.
