Hi Leonard. Thanks for answering.

Okay, that's interesting and good to know, but: 1) My code currently throws an exception because I don't embed a font. This happens in the following part, in the call to SetFontAndSize. I need to call that method, because I want my text to be (roughly) the size of the OCR region of the word, so that selecting the text gives the "right" graphical boundaries. I understand that for this method I _have_ to embed the font (it cannot know if I later on render the text invisible). If there's a better way to have a text information with a given region, please share it! My relevant code for just that (embedding the invisible text with the right size): >> content.BeginText(); >> // EXCEPTION BELOW >> content.SetFontAndSize(font, fontSize); >> // EXCEPTION ABOVE >> content.SetTextRenderingMode( >> PdfContentByte.TEXT_RENDER_MODE_INVISIBLE); >> content.SetTextMatrix( >> (float)(ocrWord.Rectangle.Location.X * horizontalScaling), >> pageImage.ScaledHeight - (float)(ocrWord.Rectangle.Bottom * >> verticalScaling)); >> content.ShowText(ocrWord.Data); >> content.EndText(); 2) I still don't get why the font is not embedded with the snippet below. What could I do to _actually_ embed the font? Am I missing something here? Am I (quite certainly I am..) doing something stupid? My relevant code for the font creation, which doesn't seem to embed it though. >> // POSSIBLE CAUSE HERE: >> // This is the font I'm using.
