This is explained in the documentation.
See chapter 11 of the second edition of "iText in Action".

The parameter "embedded" is ignored in some cases.
For instance:
- the standard type 1 fonts such as Helvetica are never embedded,
- CJK fonts are never embedded,
- if encodiing Identity-H or -V is used, the font is always embedded,
no matter which value you pass for the "embedded" parameter.

If you want to embed Helvetica, you need to buy the .pfb file.
iText only ships with the (free) .afm file.
Or even better: search the web to find where you can buy a .ttf or .otf
file containing the Helvetica font program.
(Note that we don't sell fonts, you'll have to use Google to find where
you can buy Helvetica.)
