How to recognize the font/fonts used in the text in a PDF

In our daily lives, both in the field of work and at home, we use, send and receive a large number of documents that contain the information we need at a given time.

One of the most used formats by users is the PDF format, which corresponds to the acronym Portable Document Format.

This type of format is very popular because this type of file, although at first sight resemble any other type of document, may contain buttons and links that lead us to pages, forms, audio, and video.

The PDF was created more than 20 years ago by Adobe Systems and over time has evolved and adapted to the needs of users.

Probably when you search for or receive a PDF file, you are interested in knowing the fonts or fonts used in it, which is why we will explain step by step how to find them in a very simple way. To do this you will have to follow a series of steps:
