Hello,
I need to know if is it possible to extract with itext the stream object of
a Type 3 font and the stream object of a XForm (I suppose the same method
would be correct for both). I know how scan the PdfDictionary keys but not
the object where is the stream....
I am asking this because I read the contentstream of a pdf and I rewrite
this pdf again with some changes. So if the pdf has a Type 3 font I would
have to be capable of creat this font programatically ... the same about
XForms....
Currently I can rewrite de pdf if it use Type 1 fonts, but in some cases the
letters are not identical to the original letters. It seems like some of the
"copied" letters had more thickness, but only a bit more, so if you compare
the pdf it seems like the copied letters would be shifted a little.
Is it possible that even I have made the original pdf with a font file
store in my computer and I try to rewrite it reading the content stream and
using the same font file and writing the same text, some characteristics of
the font like Descent could change when you create the pdf instead of using
the Descent in the .afm file...?
I hope I have not asked any stupid question...
thanks in advance
regards,
Laura
