acrobat dc, install missing font

A designer made a PDF for us using Open Sans font.  I can view the PDF fine, but when I try to edit text the font isn't available.  I've tried Optimize PDF using Preflight, and Print Production Preflight but neither seem to work ~ 'analyze & fix'.  How do i install missing fonts, and how is it possible that Acbrobat DC Pro doesn't have Open Sans pre-installed?

Thanks

Trevor

Install the font like any other font on your system.

You write " how is it possible that Acbrobat DC Pro doesn't have Open Sans pre-installed" but there are hundreds of thousands of fonts, costing millions of dollars. Clearly Acrobat Pro can't have them all, why do you feel it should have this one?

Thanks Bernd, I'm not a designer and unfamiliar with some of the basics around system fonts v. application fonts ~ or so I thought.  Very helpful guidance, for others with same issue:

1. download desired font from Googel - Google Fonts  |  Google Developers

2. unzip file

3. right click on file > install
