Note: - this code is from the iTextDotNet version so it is a bit out of date from the latest Java version. But the version of iText I have has this same issue.
When you use the font Arial for example, it first looks for Arial and when that fails, it throws a DocumentException. It then looks for arial.ttf, finds that, and returns the font. On .NET at least the throw/catch of the exception was taking a lot of time - about 80% of the PDF generation time in the sample we were running. I changed it to the attached code and our PDF generation is now 5 times faster on .NET. The attachment is a zip file.
