Hi,
I have partially solved my issue of embedding the fonts.
For future reference of others am positing the steps I used for debugging
OTF fonts.
1.I downloaded PDF Vole from the below link
http://java.net/project/pdf-vole-pdf-debugger-and-analyzer-0.
This application shows the internal structure of a PDF document.
2 .From the structure I found that for otf files we need to add a extra
entry in the font file for SUB_TYPE for eg for Type1 it is "Type1C" in the
font file.
Adding this parameter resulted in otf files being embedded correctly.
But I am stuck with pfm/pfb files, there it needs to be 3 length parameters
namely length1/length2/length3
These parameters denotes the clear text portion,encrypted portion and the
fixed content portion respectively of the font file.
But in Itext I am not able to find the values of these parameters. Any help
or guidance would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Arindam
