Hi,
first of all, thanks for this great PDF library.
We need to map some base-14 fonts (the newer ones) to their former set of
base-14 fonts to be downwards compatible (PDF 1.2, Acrobat 3.0), e.g.
Arial MT -> Helvetica
Times New Roman PS MT -> Times
We're doing this by inspecting the font dictionary of each page and replacing
the basefont with the corresponding font mapping, if necessary, like this
private static void setBaseFont(PdfDictionary font, PdfName baseFont) {
font.put(PdfName.BASEFONT, baseFont);
font.put(PdfName.SUBTYPE, PdfName.TYPE1);
font.remove(PdfName.FIRSTCHAR);
font.remove(PdfName.LASTCHAR);
font.remove(PdfName.FONTDESCRIPTOR);
font.remove(PdfName.WIDTHS);
}
Is this the preferred way to replace a basefont? Is it necessary to replace
the firstchar, lastchar, fontdescriptor and widths too? The specs say no for
the 14 standard fonts.
Any help will be very welcome. Thanks in advance
Rainer Langbehn
