Good morning. I'm currently using PDFBox to build documents for the company I'm working for, and I need to print strings with generic character, also non in the WinAnsiEncoding range (e.g. "ł").
And I shouldn't embed fonts in the PDF documents. If I use the internal PDFBox fonts (e.g. PDType1Font.HELVETICA) apparently no fonts are than embedded in the document. So I assume that the document, when displayed, refers to Fonts present in the PC (Arial?); nevertheless PDPageContentStream.showText() throws an IllegalArgumentException for such "special" characters. Using iText I could use the following call: Font myFont = com.itextpdf.text.FontFactory.getFont(name, size, style, color); Using variable "myFont", now I can refer to the font with no font embedding, and I can use also non-WinAnsiEncoding characters. Is there any way or workaround in PDFBox to generate a file with no embedded files and with "special" characters? If not, will it be possible in one of the next PDFBox releases?
