Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat 8.
I am trying to merge a document that exists in Word 2007 into an exisiting PDF document. The existing PDF document gives the following list in the Document Properties >> Font tab

red a (Abobe logo?) Times-Roman
Type Type1
Encoding Ansi
Actual Font: TimesNewRomanPSMT
Actual Font Type: True Type

1) How can I make sure that the Word 2007 document has a font that will match the font listed above?

2) What do the letters PSMT mean in the font name?

Thanks

Barry

It looks like your PDF's source file used an Adobe Type 1 PostScript font.

You will need to have the font installed on the computer.
Check your computer's installed fonts. You will want to have the fonts installed and accessible by MS Word.
Times New Roman is available (a TrueType font) to MS Word. Try using it.
If the TrueType font does not give you the results you want and you do not have the font installed on your computer you may have to purchase it.

PS MT = PostScript MonoType

Some information about Type 1 fonts -

(1) How to setup a new MS Word template. If you are using MS Word regularly you will find that keeping the default
template (normal.dot) intact has its advantages.
(2) How to "Set the default font".

Once you have your font issue resolved you may want to consider a review of embedding fonts in your output PDF.
