word interop embed fonts when converting to pdf c#

Question

I am using the following to save word to pdf:

private Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application _wordApp;

_wordApp.ActiveDocument.EmbedTrueTypeFonts = true;
_wordApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs2(MergedDocumentFullOutputPath, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF);

I am able to save as pdf but few fonts are not embedding. I want to embed the system fonts too if possible.

Answer 1

Word 2013-2016 does not support font embedding using Open Type Fonts (.otf) or other formats, it only fully supports it using TrueType Fonts (.ttf).

To fix the problem, all you have to do is follow this simple steps:

1. Convert the font to .ttf using a converter. I used this website Online Font Converter.
2. Install the converted files. You will be prompted that the font is already install, choose "yes" to replace the old installation.
3. Enjoy :)
