OK i'll try to explain better. I need to extract text from this PDF. If i extract the text as it is a string that shows as "DUMMY" in Adobe Reader is coded as "\x04\x06\x05\x05\x06"(hex string) in the PDF content stream. Analizing this assetion i can build part of my mapping D = 0x04 U = 0x06 M = 0x05 Y = 0x08 Using this process i need to parse the entire PDF and hope to encounter all the possibile letters/digits just to see their mapping. My idea is to save the fontfile2 data to a file , use a viewer to view it and then extract my mapping from what i see. Suppose that this viewer shows me that the first symbol is A, the second F, the third G, the fourth B and i expect the fifth to be D and sixth to be M then U then K(for example) and then Y because i've already their mapping deducted from the parsing of the string DUMMY. SO the final map table is A = 0x00 F = 0x01 G = 0x02 B = 0x03 D = 0x04 M = 0x05 U = 0x06 K = 0x07 Y = 0x08 .... Is this correct? What can i do to renderize the glyphs contained in the fontfile2 data?
