Embedding Fonts in DOC to PDF conversion

[ABLE Tech srl]

Hi, I am using Syncfusion.DocToPDFConverter.DocToPDFConverter class to convert a Word document (DOC or DOCX) to PDF.

There is the ability to generate a PDF document with embedded fonts (that was used in Word document)?

Hi Claudio,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

 

At present we do not have support for Embedding Font during Doc to PDF conversion.

We have already created a Feature Request “Need to embed font in PDF during Doc to PDF conversion”.

We will let you know once the feature is implemented.

 

Please let us know if you have any concern.

 

Thanks,

Hi Marta,
Thank you for using Syncfusion products,
As we mentioned earlier we don’t have support for “Embedding Font during Doc to PDF conversion.”, whereas as a workaround you can able to achieve this, for this you need to create a pdf document with PdfA1b standard. I have attached a code snippet for your reference please check through it and let us know if there is any concerns.
Code snippet:

WordDocument wordDoc = new WordDocument("wordDocument.doc");

DocToPDFConverter converter = new DocToPDFConverter();

//Creates a new document with PDF/A standard.

PdfDocument pdfDoc = new PdfDocument(PdfConformanceLevel.Pdf_A1B);

pdfDoc = converter.ConvertToPDF(wordDoc);

pdfDoc.Save("Sample.pdf");
pdfDoc.Close();
Thanks,
Karthik.

Hello Karthik

I have tried to text your code snippet but the font doesn´t change

This is my code snippet:

  private byte[] PasarAPdf(WordDocument doc)

  {

            var converter = new DocToPDFConverter();

            PdfDocument pdfDoc = new PdfDocument(PdfConformanceLevel.Pdf_A1B);

            pdfDoc = converter.ConvertToPDF(doc);        

            pdfDoc.DocumentInformation.Author = "SGTIC"; 

            pdfDoc.FileStructure.Version = PdfVersion.Version1_7;        

            var stream = new MemoryStream();      

            pdfDoc.Save(stream);

            return ConvertirStreamToBytes(stream);

        }

Thank you!

Hi Marta,
We couldn’t able to reproduce the issue with “Font doesn’t change while embedding fonts in doc to pdf”, I have attached a screen shoot and output pdf document in which all the fonts are embedded. Can you please provide us the input document for which the issue occurs so that we can investigate further in this, please let us know if you have any concerns.

Hi

Same Problem here.

Your example didn't work for me.

PdfDocument pdfDoc = new PdfDocument(PdfConformanceLevel.Pdf_A1B);

pdfDoc = converter.ConvertToPDF(wordDoc);

I think the ConvertToPDF call will replace the pdfDoc created with the PdfA1b Format.
Do you have a working example, with the conversion to a PdfAib file?

Cheers

Hi Jani,

Hi Karthik

Thanks for the working example.

However, there seems to be a state within the Syncfusion library with the PDF Conformance Level.
It would be much clearer, adding the PdfConformanceLevel to the DocToPDFConverterSettings class.

Thanks again
Jani

Hi Jani,

Thank you for your update.

DocToPDFConverterSettings class also have API for setting the PDFConformancelevel to embed the fonts in Word to PDF conversion. We have modified the sample by setting the PDFConformancelevel using DocToPDFConverterSettings class API. Please find the modified sample from the following link:
