Subject: [iText-questions] Problem with Embedded fonts


>I am using Itext(1.3.4) to create pdfs, and using hylafax(v4.2.1) as

> API to hylafax.

> Hylafax uses GhostScript to convert the PDFs to gs to fax them.  About
> 30% of the faxes fail because the hylafax converter program (pdf2ps)
> determined that there was a problem:

> "**** Warning:  An error occurred while reading an XREF table.
