If the author of an Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF) file embeds CJK and Central European (CE) fonts in a PDF document, then any language version of Adobe Reader® software will be able to display the CJK and CE text on any system without additional software. If the author of the PDF document uses CJK or CE fonts but does not embed them in the document, then the correct fonts will need to be installed in order to view the Adobe PDF file on non-native systems.

Adobe Acrobat® Reader 5.x users must download Asian font packs from this page. Adobe Reader 6.0 was the first version of Reader to download the correct font packs on demand, although they are offered on this page as well for users wishing to download them in advance.

The Central European pack contains more than 60 Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts. View the script table for details.

Asian and Central European fonts for Macintosh

Adobe Reader for Macintosh provides Asian and CE fonts as an optional component at the time of download. They are not available on this page as a standalone download. Central European fonts are available in Adobe Reader 7.0 only.
