Not really, it depends on the PDF software. I have printed the same bill with SumatraPDF, Acrobat Reader X and Acrobat Reader DC: different fonts, different sizes and missing logos...
- Arcanum-XIII 10y agoThat's why when you're trying to print professionally, you're gonna use the original software and not something that try to re implement it. I know it's sad, because open source, but when a (good) standard exist that is closed source, we have to made due, till something arguably better exist.
- 0xmohit 10y agoIf the underlying document doesn't embed the fonts it uses, then the reader would perform substitution. This causes different outputs on different readers. It's more of a PDF producing application problem that fail to either embed the rather uncommon or proprietary fonts.

- Freak_NL 10y agoUsually it is the PDF that is at fault, or rather, the assumptions made by the author (or the authoring software). A PDF meant to be portable and usable for a long time should embed all fonts used. If you get different fonts and sizes in different viewers, that tends to hint at a lack of embedded fonts, leaving the PDF viewer to substitute using its fall back fonts. Most PDFs I come across tend to come with embedded fonts and work just fine on any decent PDF-viewer.
