fonts in PDF - embedded or not

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I would like to ask for a push in the right direction with
the following:

I need to determine what fonts in an existing PDF document
are not embedded neither subset embedded.

I’m looking at the FontType function and am uncertain of the
possible return values.

For example, if FontType returns “8” (Type3) – does that
mean that a font is embedded or subset embedded or not ?

The above question also applies to return values:

3 TrueType

5 Packaged

6 Type1

8 Type3

9 Type1 CID

10 TrueType CID

11 CJK

I guess (?) that return values:

1 Unknown

2 Standard

4 Embedded TrueType

7 Subsetted

would mean that a font is embedded – and this ensures 100%
that the “viewer” will see the font as used by the "PDF generator”.
