Didn't try that, but it was advertised by Adobe.Дid you install the embedded fonts before?Д¬lick to expand.Well, the fonts are embedded in the customer supplied PDF. However, recently I upgraded (from CS6, Acrobat Pro XI) to the one-time payment TLP desktop license of Acrobat Pro DC 2017 in the hope that I can make such adjustments directly with Acrobat.

Occasionally I had to import PDF files to ID for conversion, too. In AD I didn't find such a setting so far. Sometimes I need to adjust the preferences for kerning in AI before opening a file. with Fontforge), install the extracted fonts, then open the PDF, substitute the fonts with the extracted fonts and embed those different named fonts during export. I didn't try with AD yet, but in AI, I extract all fonts that I don't get delivered (e.g. If importing a real PDF file to AD, one can do this without font substitution, but if exported to PDF after modification the original fonts will get lost. AI CS6 files saved without PDF compatibility couldn't get opened by AD. In AD I can open AI CS6 files that are saved with PDF compatibility (usually text converted to paths) without any problems.

The only real question to have to ask is, can I work with the features that they have now? Things like arrowheads aren't there yet and they don't have a way to auto trace raster images. Plus if you consider that it only costs $50 and it isn't a subscription. Each bump adds tons of things, which is great. They are currently at 1.6 and they won't charge for an upgrade until 2.0. I bought Designer when it was first released in November 2014 and they've updated it a lot, at no charge since then. While Designer is great, there are still a few things that are missing but the developers are working hard to add in missing features and to fix bugs quickly. You can freely communicate with them on their forum asking questions, making requests, etc. The developers at Serif (the makers of Affinity Designer) are great. For me, Designer is way easier to draw with and manipulate drawings than Illustrator. After Adobe moved to a subscription model, I looked around and tried a few different apps trying to find a replacement for Illustrator.

There are many former Freehand users who have since moved over to Affinity Designer. I started using Illustrator a long time ago too and while I used Freehand and CorelDraw, I have always preferred Illustrator. I too highly recommend Affinity Designer (and Affinity Photo too).
