I am having trouble with getting the PDFTranscoder to output text instead of
glyphs. I have tried just about everything, and I was wondering if anyone
could help me out. For my latest try, I basically modified some code I found
somewhere on the internet, it is below.
Could someone inspect it really quickly and tell me what might be wrong? I am
not getting any errors, but the resulting PDF (It is a webbased program and I
return the ByteArrayOutputStream PDF to the browser) has the text rendered as
glyphs.
Thanks for your time,
Shaun Roach

public ByteArrayOutputStream makeSVGaPDF() {

options.loadUserconfiguration(userConfigFile);

Configuration cfg = cfgBuilder.buildFromFil(userConfigFile);
ContainerUtil.configure(transcoder, cfg);
TranscoderInput input = new TranscoderInput(
new FileInputStream("C:/start.svg"));
TranscoderOutput output = new TranscoderOutput(baos);
transcoder.transcode(input, output);
}
catch(Throwable t)

t.printStackTrace();

return baos;
