    How to use PDF document font on a dot matrix printer?

    I want to print PDF files on EPSON dot matrix printers (DFX-8500, DFX-9000 etc.)

    If I open the PDF file in Google Chrome and print it, the result looks exactly as it would look on a laser printer. The font used by the printer is exactly the font from the PDF document.

    If I open the PDF file Acrobat Reader and print it, it seems to use some kind of printer font which looks much more "angular" and is not really readable, especially the numbers.

    How can I tell Acrobat Reader resp. the printer to use the font from the document - as it is done when printing the document in Google Chrome?

    Thanks for any hint,
    Anna
