Ah, missed the forms stuff. Since you were talking VDP, I was thinking you were using real content. I would also recommend that you check out the forthcoming ISO 16612-2 standard (PDF/VT) which is targeted at variable and transactional printing.
Not every form, however, has the fonts actually embedded - but for those that do it would be possible. PoDoFo, however, doesn't current hook up loading the font from the embedded object - but it would be fairly easy to expand it to handle this use case.

Since every PDF Viewer capable of handling PDF Forms depends on a completely embedded font and all further information to create the appearance stream, there is a way for sure... So again my question: How can I create a PdfFont object out of a PdfObject of type "font", subtype "TrueType" (or other font formats)? I hope I do not need to do some "reverse engeneering" in the PoDoFo source. Maybe I can get some hints what to do or if this feature is planned. Since this is a feature needed handling PDF Forms PoDoFo should IMO implement this.
