Hello, PDFBox is a great piece of software. We've been using PDFBox 3.0.5 to convert some PDFs to images. It's been working well but we've encountered the following error message for one of our PDFs: Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Type 2 descendant font not allowed :at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFontFactory.createFont(PDFontFactory.java:105) :at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDResources.getFont(PDResources.java:171) :at org.apache.pdfbox.contentstream.operator.text.SetFontAndSize.process(SetFontAndSize.java:66) :at org.apache.pdfbox.contentstream.PDFStreamEngine.processOperator(PDFStreamEngine.java:980) :at org.apache.pdfbox.contentstream.PDFStreamEngine.processStreamOperators(PDFStreamEngine.java:555) :at org.apache.pdfbox.contentstream.PDFStreamEngine.processStream(PDFStreamEngine.java:530) :at org.apache.pdfbox.contentstream.PDFStreamEngine.processPage(PDFStreamEngine.java:155) :at org.apache.pdfbox.rendering.PageDrawer.drawPage(PageDrawer.java:288) :at org.apache.pdfbox.rendering.PDFRenderer.renderImage(PDFRenderer.java:355) :at org.apache.pdfbox.rendering.PDFRenderer.renderImage(PDFRenderer.java:272) :at org.apache.pdfbox.rendering.PDFRenderer.renderImageWithDPI(PDFRenderer.java:258) :at org.apache.pdfbox.tools.PDFToImage.main(PDFToImage.java:262) :at org.apache.pdfbox.tools.PDFBox.main(PDFBox.java:93)
Looking at the PDF, the issue seems to be that we're using the Type 2 CIDFont directly instead of having it be a descendant of a Type 0 font. We are able to display the pdf in a variety of different PDF viewers, like Chrome PDF viewer. It seems that the PDF viewers are more relaxed with how fonts are used compared to the PDF specification. Is it possible to have PDFBox be less strict and process this type of PDF either through a configuration setting or programmatically? It would be great if PDFBox was more flexible like many PDF viewers. Thank you, Luis
