Thank you very much, Tilman.
Please, ignore my sentence about the empty file: I had an (unrelated) exception 
is another point of my code. Sorry.

The font removal works (the code is at the end of this mail).

Now the viewer issues an error like:
Cannot find or create the font 'AAAEOG+ArialMT'.
And obviously the file isn't correctly displayed.

I would have to see the file to find out what went wrong. And an itext generated file as well, if possible.

Btw "AAAEOG+ArialMT" means you used a subset. Avoid doing that, i.e. set the embedSubset parameter to false. This way PDFBox will embed the full font, which you'll delete later.

With iText I obtain /Encoding entries referring to /BaseFont /Helvetica, also 
for the special characters outside the WinAnsi range, and the viewer correctly 
opens the file.
I wonder if it's possible to manipulate the file with PDFBox, so that it refers 
to Helvetica as well.

Thank you in advance,
Fabio

Your code looks good.

Does "clearAllFontDescriptors" have access to your current document object?

Does "the resulting file is empty" mean that the file is empty, or that the 
display is blank?

I don't have further ideas without seeing more of the code, and maybe look at the files 
with pdfdebugger ... maybe try removing "clearAllFontDescriptors" to see 
whether there's a problem with your logic.

Actually I don't save the file: i display it in the screen, and then the user 
can choose to save it or not.
So I currently create a byte[] containing the PDDocument data and I use it to 
display the file:

ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PDDocument document = ...

<... build the PDF content ...>

try
{
      document.save(outputStream);
      document.close();
      return outputStream.toByteArray(); } catch(IllegalStateException
e) {
      ...
}

I tried to do this:

try
{
      document.save(outputStream);
      document.close();
      document = PDDocument.load(outputStream.toByteArray());
      clearAllFontDescriptors();
      outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
      document.save(outputStream);
      document.close();
      return outputStream.toByteArray(); } catch(IllegalStateException
e) {
      ...
}

Where clearAllFontDescriptors() should perform the cosObj.removeItem(fontName). 
But apparently the PDDocument.load(...) doesn't work as I expected, and the 
resulting file is empty.
