Ok, but in this way I can add an embedded font.I've an existing pdf with standard fonts (no embedded) and I need replace every font with the embedded one.Can you help me?

Angappan G · Answer

Hi BarbaraIt is not possible to replace the existing fonts with the embedded fonts because "Fonts" are XObjects in PDF.To embed the new fonts, the existing standard font entries must be deleted,but it is not possible to delete the Xobjects in the PDF once they were added.Please let us know if you have any queries.Regards,Angappan.

Just wondering if you had any future plans on this topic?  Aspose, does allow to cycle through fonts that are not embedded and set a property to embed them.Brent

Has this ever been added? or is there some code that will find the list of fonts in the PDF so that they can then be added?

Hi Dimitri,Yes,you can embed all the non-embedded fonts in an existing PDF document using the EmbedFonts method provided by Syncfusion. This ensures that the text becomes readable by embedding the required fonts into the PDF.This approach will embed the missing fonts into the PDF, making the content readable. However, note that this does not change the existing font style; it only ensures the original fonts are properly embedded.Follow the link below for more information:Embed all the non-embedded fonts in the existing PDF documentRegards,Irfana J.
