Find Font Name From PDF Or MS-Word.

Sometime it is necessary to know the font name from a file such as MS Word or PDF file. Without installed correct font you are not able to read that file. The file with font missing looks like the following.....

In that case, for reading that file we have to installed correct font which has been used to make that file. To installed correct font we should know the font name. In MS Word, simply we can know the font name by keeping the cursor into the text and MS Word automatically detect the font name and show it "Font" option. Here it is.....

In any PDF file, there is also a way to find out the font name which has been used to make it. This way will be varied by PDF software. Here I am using "Adobe Reader" and "Nitro PDF Reader". Just open your PDF file and go to File > Properties > Font. Here you will get the font name. The option is same for both software. But "Properties" option is rename to "Documents Properties" into the "Nitro PDF Reader". Here is the sample view for "Adobe Reader".

Just go to the "File" and then go to the "Properties".

Now select the "Fonts" tab.

Here is the sample view for "Nitro PDF Reader"

Go to the "File" option

Now navigate to "Document Properties"

Now select the "Fonts" tab. Here you will get the font name which has been used.

Now you are ready to install correct font for your document because you have learned all of the font name.

Here's another simple issue. Commonly we have badly needed to convert our PDF file to Word or any other text format file. Sometime we have faced, after conversion to text format, the file is not readable. Yes....that is font issue. The font is unknown for computer, that's why the file is unreadable. For resolving this issue, first of all, find out the font name from PDF file and download that font from internet or collect anyhow and then install it into your computer. Now open your converted document. Hope it will open now.

[Note: - Font name will not display for any scan document. In that case, there is some online site, they offer to resolve font name after uploading the file into their website.]

Thank You.
