How can I choose a font besides Myriad Pro as default when opening existing PDFs in Illustrator?

I already know how to do this for new documents.
But I work with PDFs generated in AutoCAD.
When opening these files in Illustrator, the default font is always set to Myriad Pro.
How can I substitute my desired font for Myriad when opening EXISTING files, short of copy/pasting into a new file? That workaround is just as time-consuming as resetting the font every time I work on a new document.
Illustrator has to be referencing something when defaulting to this font. It seems unbelievable that this setting cannot be altered.
Any ideas out there?

We get autocad dies from a variety of sources, quite often the font is .txt which susbtitutes to myriad. I use find font to substitue myriad to arial.
Since no doucment is open, changing the New document profiles does not help to get rid of Myriad.
You can record an action for this and set a hot key. The action is pretty fast

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

You can try these steps,Launch the scanned PDF >right click >Document Properties(from the drop down list) >Fonts(on the dialog box)>From here you will get the fonts used in that PDF . While editing the PDF ,select the text that are editing or typing in with the help of selection tool .After you select the text ,right click on the text and choose "edit text" from the drop down list .From there you will be able to choose the desired font .

How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

I tried to use "Edit Document Text" Function. There is an error pop-up as " All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.". How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

It is referring to the fonts installed on your computer - to edit text within a PDF you must have the same font installed (i.e. one with the same PostScript name). Acrobat doesn't have a separate way to load fonts, you install them in the normal way through your operating system control panel after downloading/purchasing the font files from a vendor.

Problem with fonts when opening a pdf in Illustrator

Hi all! I'm working on a pdf. I do NOT have the original. So I've found it's easier to open the pages in Illustrator, make edits, and resave as a pdf. The problem is that Illustrator is converting some text to outlines. It is saying I don't have the font, but I do. In fact, on the same page I'll have 4 lines... and some will be converted to outlines and some won't... and they are all the same font. Is there a way to tell Illustrator to NOT convert the font to outlines? I don't mind if it uses a substitute font... it's easy to go in and change the font to the right font. But I don't want the text converted to outlines. Thanks.
Julie
PS I'm using CS 4 on a Mac.

Thanks, Scott. But I'm not sure what you mean by "pretty standard." Are you saying this is, in fact, default behavior in AI 14?
I'm still at AI 12 (CS2), and "standard" behavior (when the font is not available) is for Illustrator to do a font substitution, not automatically convert the type to outlines.
Is this, perhaps, what the new 'Missing Glyph Protection' does in AI 14 (as Myle suggested in post #1)?
If, in fact, this is the new default behavior, I would hope that Illustrator provides a warning (and an option to not proceed) given the highly destructive nature of converting type to outlines.

How can I make by portfolios in Adobe Pro xi able to opened by previous versions?

I recently upgraded to Adobe Pro XI. I use this program to make portfolios for municipal meetings and post to our website.
I need to make the portfolio able to be read by various version. I have tried the "save as other" but it still will not open and says I need to download Adobe Reader DC.... I did that and it still says I need to download it.
HELP!!!!!

Thanks for your reply. I have been using Adobe Pro 8 for years and have been able to post the portfolios and have not had any problem opening them in Google Chrome. There would be a little Adobe icon that would show up and you had to click on it to open it but now I get no icon. I did not do anything to make the icon show up before it was just there.
My Trustees and residents like the option to choose what issue they want to view instead of having to scroll through page after page after page, trying to find the issue they are interested in.
Do you have any suggestions? When I disable the Google .pdf reader the packet downloads to the computer. I don't think they would like that. Do I have any other options? I have made the packets readable by Adobe 4.0 and up and it still acts the same.
Oh, and my Trustees were able to download the portfolio to their I-pad. I sure hope I didn't spend $400+ on the latest and greatest only to have to go back to 8.0 to get it to do what I want.
Thanks!

How can I prevent Adobe Reader X from being the default to open .pdf files?

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0 and will soon be getting V 10.
I want Acrobat to open my .pdf files NOT Reader.
Reader was installed because a certain program required it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much! Unfortunately for me, it is grayed out. I will need to get my IT admin person to set it for me.

When opening interactive pdf in illustrator, form text disappears... how do i save the interactive pdf to be able to use in illustrator without text disappearing?

Any ideas?

Photoshop - no chance.
InDesign - will usually just work.
Text editing in Acrobat is, however, a desperate last resort. Really, never, never consider it for files where the original is still available, even at some effort. Text editing is for where the original is lost and all the backups eaten by termites.

How can you redo initial system setup macbook pro

How can you redo initial system setup macbook pro?

Like when Setup Assistant fires up and lets you migrate? In general, that would imply having to do a complete reinstall. And I've always been under the impression that when you do that, the reinstall software does not contain all the extra goodies that come with a new from-factory install (such as iLife).
But as Prof. Kappy wants to know, the specifics are very version dependent.

How can I change the font in notes in the view in mail?

How can I change the font in notes in the view in mail?

Use the Fonts menu. Either -
• go to the Format menu and select Show Fonts
• or, in the Note creation window, click the icon for Fonts -
In either case, once the Fonts window is open, select the text you want to change then choose the font characteristics (face, style, and size) from the Fonts screen.

How can I choose ringtones instead of pre-loaded sounds for alarms

I have a bunch of questions. First, how can I choose ringtones (my last phone had a category called "tones") and other purchased sounds instead of the pre-loaded sounds for my alarms, text message alerts, etc.? Thanks.

Apple no longer sells ringtones... Besides you never needed to buy them because they're easy to make! All you need is DRM free music (burned from cd, iTunes +). Read this link for instructions:

How can i change the fonts in notes in ios7

how can i change the fonts in notes in ios7

Well as far as I am concern Meg can keep it. I am glad she like these really ridiculous colors and not be able to make changes. Especially when the changes were so major. Plus all of apples wonderful locations to find answers besides community boards. I am starting to rethink apple products with these type of releases. Who ever heard of yellow colors for e-mail addresses. This app is terrible I will be looking for something that is easier for people that have color blindness issues. So far as I can see the changes that IOS 7 made are not well thought out and made changes just because they could without options is refi lupus and not user friendly. Enjoy Meg because so far I don't.
