- Scenario
- Editing or creating a PDF that requires a specific third-party font.

Ensure you have downloaded a properly licensed copy of the Univers 55 font file (usually .ttf or .otf) from a reputable font vendor before proceeding.
Install Univers 55 in Your Operating System
Since Acrobat relies on system fonts, installing Univers 55 directly onto your computer makes it accessible in Acrobat and other applications.
Adobe Acrobat does not include the Univers 55 font out of the box. To use it, you must first install it at the system level. Keep in mind that the font license must allow for 'Preview and Print' embedding if you plan to share the PDF.
Obtain the Univers 55 font file from a licensed font vendor and extract the file if it is in a ZIP folder.
Right-click the downloaded font file (.ttf or .otf) and select 'Install' or 'Install for all users'.
Double-click the font file to open Font Book, then click the 'Install Font' button.
Close and reopen Adobe Acrobat DC so the application can load the newly installed system fonts.
Use Custom Fonts in PDFs with WPS Office

- 2. Open PDF in WPS: Launch WPS Office and open your PDF document.

- 4. Select Font: Highlight your text, open the font dropdown menu in the formatting toolbar, and choose Univers 55.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't Univers 55 showing up in Acrobat after installation?
Acrobat loads system fonts at startup. If you installed the font while Acrobat was open, you must close and restart the application. Additionally, ensure the font is installed for 'all users' if you are on Windows.
What does 'Preview and Print embedding' mean?
It is a licensing restriction set by the font creator. It allows the font to be embedded within the PDF so that other users viewing the document can see the text exactly as designed, even if they don't have the Univers 55 font installed on their own device.
Can I embed the Univers 55 font directly into Acrobat without installing it on my OS?
No, Adobe Acrobat requires fonts to be installed in the operating system's font directory (such as the Windows Fonts folder or Mac Font Book) in order to utilize them in PDF documents.
How can I check if a font is properly embedded in my PDF?
In Acrobat, go to File > Properties, and select the 'Fonts' tab. This will display a list of all fonts used in the document and indicate whether they are fully embedded or embedded as a subset.
