Re: [iText-questions] 'same font subset name' problem

Paulo,

 

I need to fix this problem myself because I only work with iText 0.96 ('validated' against our compnay standards). Could you please explain what exact I need to do with the source code?

 

I am worried about the uniqueness of the subset name. According at PDF spec, the pseudoUniqueTag for subset name consists of exactly six uppercase alphabetic characters. If I generate a large number of files, chances are I end up with the same

subset name even the name is somewhat random. Our company will generate a lot of files and publish them in a documentum which uses Acrobat Distiller to assembly large documents (this reminds me it's about donation time now). Is it possible to completely prevent this subset collision from happening?

 

Acrobat is really dumb on this issue. It should be able to merge the subsets regardless of the subset name.

It's an iText bug that should have generated the subset prefix in a random
way. Of course that it wouldn't hurt if Acrobat was not that brain dead when
merging fonts. I'll have a new version fixing this tomorrow.

Best Regards,
Paulo Soares
