As Bruno said, this is _NOT_ a trivial task. You will need to understand the complexities of font formats, text encoding and how these relate to PDF content streams. Once armed with that information, you can begin to construct code that will unembed fonts - or at least some of them. It also depends on whether you plan to only unembed fully embedded fonts OR also those that are subset...
I think when I implemented one, it took me a good week to get everything working...and that was starting with the knowledge base, a comprehensive PDF library and a solid font engine.
