John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-1971:
-------------------------------------
There's no need to modify the source of PDFBox in order to embed fonts. The
font constants defined in PDType1Font, such as HELVETICA, are used for fonts
which are pre-defined by the PDF format, i.e. they come built-in to readers and
so don't get embedded.
To embedded a custom Type 1 font you just need to do the following:
{code}
PDFont font = new PDType1AfmPfbFont(document,"LiberationSans-Bold.afm");
{code}
This will embed the .pfb and .afm data into the PDF, and the file size will be
larger.
