Acrobat

File → Properties → Fonts lists name, type, encoding, embedded.

Drop PDF into PDF Font Detector — font tables parsed locally, no upload for small files.

This guide pairs with our detectors — no signup, runs locally where possible.

Drop a PDF to list every embedded font, its encoding, subset and whether it's actually used.

Browse every glyph, ligature and OpenType feature in a font file you upload.

A learning path: basics → analysis → action, with hands-on exercises.

From PSD/XD to web equivalents — handling Adobe Fonts activation and fallbacks.
