How to check that all used fonts are embedded in PDF with Java iText?

How to check that all fonts that are used in a PDF file are embedded in the file with Java and iText? I have some existing PDF documents, and I'd like to validate that they use only embedded fonts.

This would require check开发者_C百科ing that no PDF standard fonts are used and other used fonts are embedded in the file.

Look at the ListUsedFonts example from iText in Action.

http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=287

Looks like this will print out the fonts used in a pdf and if they are embedded.

The code above could be used to retrieve the fonts that are not embedded in the given PDF file. I've improved the code from iText in Action so that it can handle Font's DescendantFont node, too.

When you create Chunk, you declare what font you use.
Create BaseFont from the font you want to use and declare is as BaseFont.EMBEDDED.
Note that when you not set option subset to true, the whole font will be embedded.

Be aware that embedding font might violate authorship rights.

I don't think this is an "iText" use case. Use either PDFBox or jPod. These implement the PDF model and as such enable you to:

• open the document
• recurse from the document root down the object tree
• check if this is a font object
• check if the font file is available

A check if only embedded fonts are used is by far more complex (this is , fonts that are not embedded but not used are fine).

The simplest answer, is to open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat then:

1. click on File
2. select Properties
3. click on the Fonts tab

This will show you a list of all fonts in the document. Any font that is embedded will display "(Embedded)" next to the font name.

For example:

ACaslonPro-Bold (Embedded)

where ACaslonPro-Bold is derived from the file name that you embedded it with (e.g. FontFactory.register("/path/to/ACaslonPro-Bold.otf",...
