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. -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/How-to-remove-embedded-fonts-from-a-pdf-document-tp2166185p3683226.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 Ways to Improve & Secure Unified Communications Unified Communications promises greater efficiencies for business.
