When printing a PDF document using the Adobe PDF Viewer or other tools, an “Invalidfont” printing error may occur. This error may be due to incorrect configuration or using an outdated version of the PDF Viewer.
The error can also occur if a file contains an invalid font name or font dictionary, or a damaged or misformed font dictionary.
If you are also affected by this error, here are some troubleshooting tips to help you correct the Invalidfont printer error in Windows 10.
This error also occurs when printing from any Microsoft Office and Google Chrome program.
