I am looking for a small program or something that would allow me to know the font used for a document (Word, PDF, ...)

Solution to detect the font used in a PDF or an Image

From a PDF:
With the help of Word
- Open the PDF
- Select the text
- Copy
- Paste into a Word document
- The font will appear at the top
Warning, as JeanC38 points out, it doesn't work every time!

From an Image:
With the help of websites
- either Myfont (https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
- or Identifont (http://www.identifont.com/
With the help of software
- FontExpert
Warning, the result heavily depends on the sharpness of the image.

Then download the font from Dafont (https://www.dafont.com/fr/
