The issue: there is a PDF we are sending to a printer which contains the Helvetica font, which is not embedded in the PDF. However the printer also does not have the Helvetica font available, so it’s refusing to print the PDF.
The question: is there any way to replace all uses of the Helvetica font in a PDF with something else?
You can surely change the fonts in the PDF document before further processing. Please check and try below sample article(s) and code sample(s) to work with Fonts in the PDF document and let us know if you still notice any issues:
I tried setting a default font name when saving, however it didn’t have any effect. The unembedded Helvetica font is still listed when I check the fonts in the document properties in Adobe.
Would you please share your sample PDF document so that we can test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.
