As the font is being used in the context of a form it is not being subset because you may need to fill the form later and all the font must be available. The form is being flattened at the end so the best way to deal with this is to get the field locations, delete the fields, and use ColumnText to write the text. In this case the font will be subset and the size will be a lot smaller. No need to flatten as the fields were already deleted.
