Does Adobe Acrobat Allow Users Import Fonts?
Adobe Acrobat is a document reader app, so fonts cannot be imported into it. The fonts are included in the PDF file; they are not a software component. You should note that fonts are not included in any edition, not even the Pro version, which has more robust editing features. When we discuss including fonts in Adobe Acrobat, you are adding fonts to your System folder’s Fonts folder rather than importing them into the application itself.
