Any way to change existing font in a pdf?
I've been searching in vain for a method that would allow me to change the font globally in a pdf that I've downloaded from the net.
I'm on android, and all I'm asking for is to change font x to font y in any pdf file globally.
Any ideas?
- yogini 4y agoThere are certain tools available online like Adobe Acrobat or PDF2Go.

- pfortuny 4y agoIt is not so easy as it might be… The pdf has probably been optimized to place each group of glyphs at a specific position, so that changing the font would break most of the composition. See this: https://superuser.com/questions/166024/substitute-a-font-in-a-pdf-document https://superuser.com/questions/166024/substitute-a-font-in-... It does not solve your problem, though.
