@ksmani82,
Thanks for contacting support.
In order to accomplish your requirements, please follow the instructions specified over Replace fonts in existing PDF file.
In case you encounter any issue, please share the input PDF file, so that we can further test the scenario in our environment.
Thanks a lot for your support codewarior.
We tried this and for our pdf (of 10 page), it takes around 10 mins to walk through each textsegment and update the font. Even after updating, we dont see the right doc.
We have got Aerial MT Pro font license install (and donot have Aerial Narrow). We generate a word doc (from a word template doc) and then use ConvertPdf method to convert it into pdf (after converting the generated word doc to memoryStream). We would like to somehow substitute the font in aspose (from AerialNarrow to Aerial MT Pro) before convertion to Pdf so that pdf comes up fine without any alignment issues.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks for your kind support.

As Per Your suggestion regarding Replace Font in existing pdf document. but it will take 30 mins more time to convert to pdf.
We have have created Simple input file for word document and used Arial Narrow MT Pro. Then We tried it convert it to PDF and it is not showing font as expected. Please find the attached input file and out file. Our code below,
Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document("C:\\input.docx");

Thanks for your inquiry. You may use SetFontSubstitutes() method of Aspose.Words for your requirement. Please check following sample code, it will help you to accomplish the task.
Document doc = new Document("input.docx");
FontSettings FontSettings = new FontSettings();
FontSettings.SetFontSubstitutes("MS Gothic", new string[] { "Arial Unicode MS" });
doc.FontSettings = FontSettings;
doc.Save("output.pdf");
Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Thanks for sharing your source documents. It seems you are using quite old version of Aspose.Words for .NET, 13.8. I have installed your shared font and converted your source Word document to PDF using Aspose.Words for .NET 17.7, it seems okay. Please find attached output PDF document and confirm.

I downloaded latest version aspose.words 17.7 then used as a evaluation version, but still not changed font as expected in pdf. for example applied the font Name in existing word file using FontSettings method and it does not changed When opening Word file showing Times New Roman but Font Name Specified in code level like "Bauhaus 93" or "Arial Narrow Mt Pro"). I have attached the sample projects(removed dll) (vs2012). Please check this.

Thanks for sharing the additional information. Please note SetFontSubstitue method is used when Aspose.Words does not find the used font on host machine. If the document fonts are available on host machine or embedded in document then it is not called. Please check Font Availability and Substitution section for more details.
Furthermore, if you want to replace some available font with another font then you can use FontChange class. Please check following code snippet, it changes document fonts to “Arial Narrow MT Pro”. Hopefully it will help you to accomplish the task.
