Get the content stream of the page. Find the operator that changes the font and get the operand that refers to the font (e.g. /F1). Look for the corresponding entry in the page resources. Inspect the font dictionary referred to in the page resources for the encoding. Expect no further help than the above; as Leonard told you: stuff like 'content stream', 'font dictionary', etc... is explained in ISO-320000. Low-level methods to get a page's content stream, the resources dictionary, and so on, are explained in chapter 18 of the book "iText in Action". -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
