Changing font tag for BaseFont

2014-06-05 Thread Robert Strauch

Hello,

I have a PDF which embeds a TrueType font called UnicodeDoc. Within the 
PDF I can see the following:


/BaseFont /IKOTCH+UnicodeDoc

Is it possible using PDFBox to change the tag value IKOTCH and if so 
how? I know that this value may be different for other documents. 
However I just need acces to this tagbut I cannot find the appropriate 
way.


Sincerely,
Robert

Hi,

why do you need to change that tag? IKOTCH+ as a prefix to the font is used 
because you font is subsetted i.e. not all glyphs of the font have been written 
into the PDF file. This is inline with the specification.

As usage questions are discussed on the users mailing list may I ask you to use 
that in the future?
