I routinely update PDFs where the originator is unavailable to question about typography issues. The problem I'm having currently, and continue to have, is that Acrobat (on V8) identifies font names differently from say...the Adobe Store. For instance, currently I'm editing a PDF that uses fonts from the "HelveticaNeue" family. I don't have this font, so if I go over to the Adobe store and try to find it, I get multiple types of "HelveticaNeue" font, and none of them are exactly what Acrobat provides as the name. For instance: Acrobat says: HelveticaNeue-Black Adobe store offers: Helvetica Neue Std Black Helvetica Neue 93 Black Helvetica Neue 95 Black and so on and so forth But NO "HelveticaNeue-Black" is in the list. Neither the spelling of the Acrobat font family, or the actual full name seem to match anything in the Adobe store. So, does anyone know a way to figure out exactly which font family Acrobat has in the PDF? Thanks in advance.
