To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Additional context Don't know if this is an issue with SumatraPDF or with the PDF file.
Problem file so it does not get reported as problems nor fixed as it uses Type1 definitions (Helvetica Font to be substituted by Printer Hardware) change the names to Windows (Arial) and resave and it works. SM4007A.pdf
GhostScript will correct it with universal nimbus (throws me an error but finishes the correction)
sm4007-GS.pdf OK my bad command line it should be fixed using just this (mine is ...32c.exe)
gswin32c -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o"%cd%\SM4007-GS.pdf" -f "%cd%\SM4007.pdf"
Processing pages 1 through 2.

Loading font Helvetica-Bold (or substitute) from %rom%Resource/Font/NimbusSans-Bold
Loading font Helvetica (or substitute) from %rom%Resource/Font/NimbusSans-Regular

Happens in pre-release and mupdf-gl
For the archives, the repro file: SM4007A.pdf
This file uses non-embedded Helvetica-bold font and one embedded font.
Not sure which one is a problem.
