📌 Why this matters

Embedding fonts prevents your carefully formatted documents from looking broken when opened on computers that don't have your chosen typefaces installed. Without embedding, recipients see substitute fonts that can shift layouts, change spacing, and make your document look unprofessional.

This becomes crucial when you're sharing contracts, portfolios, or branded materials where visual consistency directly impacts credibility. Beyond appearance, embedded fonts ensure that form fields, annotations, and interactive elements maintain their intended positioning, preventing functional issues that could derail important document workflows.
