We have a requirement to create a PDF with Chinese language. I tried to use itest-asian.jar.
So you've made the choice to go for the CJK mechanism that doesn't embed any glyphs into the PDF (because you want to keep the file size reduced) and to require that a viewer has the appropriate font pack.
My question is do we need to install Chinese font? Is there a way to view PDF without Chinese font installed.
Well, as you deliberately chose a mechanism that never embeds the font into the PDF, you need the correct font pack installed in the viewer.
If you want to avoid this, you need to use a different mechanism, for instance by using a TTF or a TTC. The files size of the resulting files will be bigger, but the end user won't need any external fonts to view the content. This is all explained in the documentation, isn't it? I fail to see your problem (provided that you've read the documentation).
