Hi everybody,

I've been carefully reading all posts from this thread, I am aware this
discussion seems to be over by now but I was unable neither to find a
solution to my problem nor a more adapted thread to post in.

I am using Itext to merge a large amount (several thousands) of pdfs,
containing ttf fonts i.e. embedding subsets. The documents I merge are very
similar, only few characters differ, so it would be really interesting,
especially for the rastering process, to "merge" the subsets, or at least
the ones that are identical.

I tried both PdfCopy and PdfSmartCopy, and, as I expected reading this
thread, the ttf fonts subset are not merged but included several times in
the resulting pdf.

I tried the FontReplacingPDFSmartCopy, managed to make it compile, but the
resulting pdf would also embed all subsets. 

Has an "official" solution been found so far or do I have to copy my
resulting pdf by hand, deleting useless FontFiles and updating
FileDescriptor references to them? I've not found any solution in "Itext in
action" book (it has to be said it is quite an old version, it seems to have
been printed in 2007).

Thanks in advance for your answers, I hope my explanation was clear enough.
