Hi Peter,
did you tried to trace from where setFont() get called? Best Regards Andrey Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Peter Murray-Rust Gesendet: Montag, 7. Mai 2012 11:03 An: Andrey Kuznetsov Cc: [email protected] Betreff: Re: Extracting vector graphics from PDF I have followed Andrey's recommendation and am able to analyze graphics primitives written to MyGraphics2D object (I generally use Batik's SVGGraphics2D as I have an SVG toolkit for analyzing the primitives). I am having difficulty with the Font information.

MyGraphics2D extends Graphics2D { public void setFont(Font) { ...} I am using pdfbox-1.6.0 from Maven and using my own version of PDReader which captures the graphics. When I capture the font as above it is always: java.awt.Font[family=null,name=null,style=plain,size=1 When using PDFReader, however, all the glyphs are correctly drawn, including italic and a variety of fonts. I have also managed to capture graphic information where all the characters were outlines (SVGPath) rather than SVGText suggesting that PDFReader had written the glyphs directly. I'd be grateful for any pointers as to how I can capture either or both of the Font or glyph information and what is actually happening when the information is passed. (I am quite prepared to work with the glyphs as there are some documents where, I think, only glyph information is provided so I have to do some analysis there.
