Frequently Asked Questions

What is font embedding and why does it matter?

Font embedding means the font data is stored inside the PDF file itself. When fonts are embedded, the PDF looks the same on any device – even if the viewer doesn't have that font installed. Unembedded fonts may be substituted with other fonts, which can alter the appearance of your document. Our tool helps you identify which fonts are embedded and which are not.

Is SmartPDFNow' PDF Font Checker really free?

Yes! Our PDF Font Checker is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, no subscriptions, and no limits on how many PDFs you can analyse. Use it as much as you need, whenever you need it.

What font types can this tool detect?

Our tool can detect Type1 (PostScript), TrueType, OpenType, and other common font formats used in PDF documents. It also identifies whether the font is embedded, subsetted, or missing from the PDF.

Is my PDF data secure when I use this tool?

Absolutely! All processing is done locally in your browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js. Your PDF file is never uploaded to any server – it remains on your device throughout the analysis. This ensures complete privacy and security.

Who can benefit from using a PDF Font Checker?

Graphic designers, prepress professionals, printers, publishers, and anyone who wants to ensure their PDF displays correctly across different devices. It's also useful for checking if fonts can be used for editing in applications like Adobe Illustrator or InDesign.
