Ah, missed the forms stuff.   Since you were talking VDP, I was thinking you 
were using real content.  I would also recommend that you check out the 
forthcoming ISO 16612-2 standard (PDF/VT) which is targeted at variable and 
transactional printing.

Not every form, however, has the fonts actually embedded - but for those that 
do it would be possible.  PoDoFo, however, doesn't current hook up loading the 
font from the embedded object - but it would be fairly easy to expand it to 
handle this use case.

Subject: Re: [Podofo-users] Using already embedded fonts


Maybe I did not emphasize enough on the fact that we are using AcroForms (or 
XFA Forms as well)
for this reason. Since every PDF Viewer capable of handling PDF Forms depends 
on a completely
embedded font and all further information to create the appearance stream, 
there is a way for sure...

So again my question: How can I create a PdfFont object out of a PdfObject of 
type "font", subtype
"TrueType" (or other font formats)?

I hope I do not need to do some "reverse engeneering" in the PoDoFo source. 
Maybe I can get some
hints what to do or if this feature is planned. Since this is a feature needed 
handling PDF Forms
PoDoFo should IMO implement this.
