Problem

In Acrobat Reader I can go to File > Properties to see all the metadata for the open PDF file: the program that created the document, author information, embedded fonts, etc. OS X's Preview can also display metadata, albeit a more limited subset (under Tools > Show Inspector). However, you can't see embedded font information with Preview. Is there a way in OS X (preferably with Preview, and not with Acrobat) to see what fonts are embedded in a PDF file?

Fix for: View list of embedded fonts in PDF file with Preview

Low Risk

Some PDF files may include the font name in plain text within the file. To see this, run one of these commands from the terminal or command-line. MacOS Note: MacOS might require you to install the command-line tools first. Windows
