Thank you Paulo.... It did work ... by hard coding many font
with "Identity-H" encoding .. I do have the book... and has read chapter
16... since there was no reference to substitution font.. so was not able to
connect the dots...with chapter 8.
I need one more favor if you provide me some pointers... Instead of hard
coding fonts i want to read fonts information from the document its self. I
tried using "BaseFont.getDocumentFonts(pdfReader);" but it always return
null. Is there any other API that I can use.
