I have produced a pdf document with Latex (a survey), then I used Foxit PhantomPDF to make that PDF editable (so that I can send it via mail). To do that I used the 'Form': 'Text Fiel'; and I choose a particular font in the Properties. I sent the file to a friend and he completed the survey, but the font that he saw was different from mine. What can I do so that everyone sees the font that I want?
(The font that I choose is embeddable, and I tried to convert the pdf to ps and then with adobe Distiller 7.0 convert it to pdf embedding the font. These 2 sistems didn't work)
PhantomPDF doesn't embed fonts for use in form filling... at least not correctly... and none that I've ever tried. Use Adobe Acrobat DC to add the fields. When you select a font that can be embedded, it will be embedded so that recipients of the form will be able to edit the fields using the same font that you specified. Of course, they also need to use a PDF viewer that is capable of using the embedded font you specified. Many... probably most... won't... but Adobe Reader does.
