A client sent me a 12-page PDF and the text looks wrong when I print it. I need a free way to see which fonts are embedded, and I can’t install anything on my work laptop.

Had the same thing last month with a client planner. if adobe reader is already on the laptop just open the pdf, file properties, fonts tab lists what’s embedded. tbh if that’s not there i open it in word and watch which fonts it swaps, that usually shows the issue without installing anything.
