Juraj Lonc commented on PDFBOX-490:
-----------------------------------
i made "proof of concept" java class (without changing a letter in pdfbox
sources).
embedded fonts and converting pdf to image works fine :)
It works this way:
1. find pdfonts in pdf
2. if pdfont has stream (=embedded font) then read it
3. get unicode chars mapping from pdfont (=cmap)
4. insert cmap into embedded font
5. replace stream in pdfont
it looks complicated, but in fact it is not too much.
are you interested in implementing it into pdfbox?

> When printing from utility PrintPdf, text is rendered in the wrong typeface.
