Hello, i wanted to ask if there is a way with PDFBox to embed fonts
without providing text.
Currently the most example’s are really simple, however they require
me to add a text to the pdf.
But currently I want to open a existing PDF and Check all the font’s
if they are embedded. (that’s really easy, too).
And now I want to embed them if they are not (I mostly want to do this
for a PDF/A conversion)
Currently the example’s I looked at:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/pdmodel/EmbeddedFonts.java?view=markup
And I also looked at:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/pdmodel/EmbeddedFiles.java?view=markup
I mean with the EmbeddedFiles example I could easily embed files.
However does this apply to font,s too? Where are the fonts stored
inside a PDF.
I also had an example to look at all the fonts inside the PDFs but I
don’t find it.
My currently solution creates a PDF/A from a standard PDF, but it
won’t conform the standard.
There are many possible problems with ordinary PDF files, it isn't just
about fonts - just check your file with PDFBox preflight. So even if you
manage to fix the non embedded fonts, you'll still have many other
problems.
