Hello Tim, Did you find a solution yet? I'm working on the same problem, but no results.
Best Regards, Andreas From [email protected] Subject How to tell if a font is embedded Date Mon, 23 Mar 2009 20:55:34 GMT I have a Java program, using PDFBox, that scans through a PDF for unsupported fonts. The support fonts are in a Collection called this.oFont. I only need to compare fonts that are not embedded. Is there a way in PDFBox to determine if a font is embedded? Currently, the program is checking for a plus sign ("+") in the base font. If a plus sign is found, the font is assumed to be embedded. Below is a chunk of Java code to scan a PDF for fonts: loLoop1 = loPdfCatalog.getAllPages().iterator(); // Iterator object for all pages in catalog while(loLoop1.hasNext()) { // Process PDF pages... ++lnPdfPage; // Process next page loPdfPage = (PDPage) loLoop1.next(); // Get PDF page object ////// Check for unsupported fonts lcRecCode = REC_FONT; // Validating fonts if (RestrictPDF(lcRecCode)) { // If OK to validate fonts... loLoop2 = loPdfPage.findResources().getFonts().values().iterator(); // Iterator object for fonts on page while(loLoop2.hasNext()) { // Process fonts on page... lcPdfFont = ((PDFont) loLoop2.next()).getBaseFont(); // Get base font if (lcPdfFont.indexOf("+") == -1) { // If font is not embedded... lcPdfFont = lcPdfFont.replaceAll("\\W.*", ""); // Remove extra information from base font if (!this.oFont.contains(lcPdfFont)) { // If font is not supported... HandleError(new Throwable(lcPdfFont), lcRecCode, lnPdfPage); // Generate an error this.oFont.add(lcPdfFont); // Prevent font from being reported again } } } } Thanks in advance for your help! Tim
