Tilman.

Using embedSubset to false I get another problem.

The instruction
    pageResources.getFont(fontName);
issues following warning:
Apr 14, 2017 12:08:18 PM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDCIDFontType2 <init>
INFO: OpenType Layout tables used in font ArialMT are not implemented in PDFBox 
and will be ignored

And then the font isn't deleted from the file (but the code runs without any 
error/exception)...
pdFont.getName() is "ArialMT", and it contains the COSName with key "FontFile2"

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.
