Type 1 Font Support Ending

Due to the replacement of Type 1 fonts with OpenType, Adobe will no longer support the use of Type 1 fonts in its products from January 2023 onwards.

This means that Type 1 fonts will not be usable and will no longer appear in the fonts menu. Any previously installed Type 1 fonts will display as “Missing fonts”, and documents using Type 1 fonts will not be affected by embedded Type 1 data. 

Adobe Creative Cloud Support

While previous versions of Creative Cloud apps will support Type 1 fonts, newer releases will not. Users can obtain OpenType versions of Adobe-owned fonts through Adobe Fonts or by purchasing perpetual licenses from Fontspring

Non-Adobe Type1

Similarly, users who purchased Type 1 fonts not owned by Adobe should contact the font foundry to see if an upgrade path to OpenType is available.

However, converting Type 1 fonts to OpenType may produce sub-optimal results. Despite these changes, Acrobat will still handle PDFs with Type 1 fonts in the same way it has for over 20 years.
