Well, this is a very common problem. If the pdf has embedded fonts, many
software can not extract the font correctly - especially if the embedded
font has custom encoding.
I am interested in a solution for changing the font of the pdf document as
well, programatically.
The only solution I found, is to use pdflib TET, to extract word based - or
glyph based info from the pdf, and use itext to form, a new, restructured
pdf document. depending on the detail of the original pdf your milage might
vary.
Best.
