This won't work due to different length / positions. PDF isn't HTML where positioning is done depending on the browser size and where you can easily insert a text into a paragraph.


this doesn't work because of the missing characters in the subset font, thus i 
had the idea to reload the complete font
and use that instead.
Alternatively, just append a content stream that puts what you need at a 
specific place.
the problem is, how to load the same font as used in the given text ?

The new font would get another name, e.g. F4 instead of F3, so this wouldn't be a problem. A problem would be if you want to change / set a word into an existing paragraph.

hi,
i would like to use a pdf as a template in which certain variables will be 
replaced.
If I create a template pdf via powerpoint or word and export it, it
only exports a pdf file with an embedded subset font.
This subset seems to contain only the characters already in the document and 
not all characters. How to fix that ? is it possible to reload the font and 
embed it fully , but how to know which font name correlates to which font file 
? In ms office there seems to be no option to force to embed full fonts.
You'll get another problem: the codes for the characters will usually not be 
the ones you'd expect. I.e. it could be that a = 1, t = 2, x = 3.

The better solution is to use acroform for that. But I don't know if word can 
generate acroforms.

Alternatively, just append a content stream that puts what you need at a 
specific place.
