Insert special characters
You can insert certain special characters (line breaks, soft hyphens, nonbreaking spaces, and em dashes) in a tagged
PDF to improve the way it reflows. You can also insert these special characters in any PDF to improve the way it’s read
by a screen reader or simply to edit it for general readability purposes. You do not need to have the font installed in
order to insert special characters.
1 Select the TouchUp Text Tool.
2 Click where you want to insert the character, or select text to be replaced by the character.
3 Right-click the selected text or location, choose Insert and then select an option.
Note: Editing and saving a digitally signed PDF invalidates the signature.

Embed fonts using the TouchUp Text tool
Embedding fonts ensures that your PDF uses the same fonts as the original document, no matter where you open the
PDF or what fonts are installed on that system.
1 Choose Tools > Advanced Editing > TouchUp Text Tool.
2 Click the text containing the font embedding or subsetting to edit. A paragraph of text is enclosed in a bounding
box. You can select text within the paragraph by dragging.
3 Right-click the text, and choose Properties.
4 In the TouchUp Properties dialog box, click the Text tab to display the font name and font properties as well as
embedding and subset capabilities.
5 To see a list of all the fonts, scroll through the Font menu. Document fonts are listed first. Your system fonts are
listed below the document fonts.
6 Choose a font from the Font menu, check the permissions to determine which options are available for that font,
and then select an embedding option. The permissions determine which embedding options are available:
Can Embed Font
You can select both the Embed and Subset options. To embed the entire font rather than a subset,
make sure that Subset is not selected.
Can Embed Font For Print And Preview Only
You can only subset-embed the font. You can embed the font for print
and preview but not for editing.
Cannot Embed Font
Both the Embed and Subset options are unavailable.
No System Font Available
Both the Embed and Subset options are unavailable.
Note: Editing and saving a digitally signed PDF invalidates the signature.
