font changing when trying to convert PDF to PowerPoint (PPT)

Question

In my project there is a function to produce a PDF file based on a custom template for each customer. in order to do that I use SelectPDF, then add in ASP.NET Razor files and exporting it as a PDF. sometimes I'm asked for specific fonts, so I add them to my .LESS file for the template using @font-face.

now I have a task to create a PDF that may be later converted to a PowerPoint file via Adobe. the problem is that Adobe doesn't know how to handle the custom fonts I use.

for example, this is what I get with the PDF:

and this is what happens after I convert it via Adobe:

is it keep the custom fonts from the PDF export to the PowerPoint file

Answer 1

generally for such a font to be supported it should be 100% embeded as a font not subset as a range of characters.

Then the Full TTF name should be in the fontlist

If the pdf2pptx converter is doing its job correctly, and has access for fallback, it should then use RockwellNova, as seen here without embed and with embed

however since PPTX rarely embed the fonts it will be down to the system substitution when viewing the pptx.
