PDF Font Checker

See which fonts are embedded.

Fonts that aren't embedded are swapped for a similar font on other computers and at print shops, which can change line breaks and layout. See every font, its type, whether it's embedded and where it's used.

How to use

  1. Choose a PDF.
  2. Review the font table.
  3. If any font isn't embedded, re-export the document with font embedding turned on.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. ZIYNU's PDF tools run in your browser using your device's processor. The file is opened locally and the result is created on your device, so documents such as CNIC scans, degrees and contracts never leave it.

What is a standard font?

One of the 14 base fonts (such as Helvetica or Times) that PDF readers are expected to provide. They're usually safe on screen, but print shops often still require embedding.

How do I embed fonts?

In Word, use Save As PDF with “ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A)” or enable font embedding in options. Design apps have an “embed all fonts” export setting.

What is a Type 3 font?

A font drawn with PDF graphics commands. It's embedded by nature but can look rough when printed.
