Hi, i've got a probleme with merging PDF files and embedded fonts. At the beginning i've got 2 PDF files : - a naked PDF file that contains lot of pages -> the source file - a simple page PDF file that contains dynamic and static fields, logo images etc... -> the layer file
The mecanism consists of modifying the PDF layer file filling static and dynamics fields (page number for exemple) and merge it on each pages on the source file. This mecanism works fine but i ve a big probleme with the final PDF file size. For example : - base PDF file (17 pages) : 84 KB - layer PDF file (1 page with filled and flattended fields) : 174 KB Final file size : 2.4 MB Acrobat audit space usage tool say that the fonts use : 3.7 % space in the base PDF file 77% space of the layer PDF file (PDF file used for layer contains embedded font) 84.5% (!!!!!) space of the final file (so about 2MB of the 2.4MB) The problem is that i can't control the layer file and it contains embedded fonts. To merge the layer in the base file i use a system of stamper, imported file and addtemplate. It think that each time i merge the layer file, the fonts are emebedded again even if they already exist in the final file. So, how can i do to merge the layer file without including the embedded fonts ? Is it possible ? Is it possible to modify an existing PDF file and remove the embedded fonts ? How can i share the fonts in the final document (embed the fonts only once) ? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions
