RE: How to make embedded font readable?
I'll look into that JIRA, thanks.
The pdfbox error in the original message below shows the class and method producing this message in the Java log.
Digging a little deeper, this is caused by the pdfbox method:
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFontDescriptorDictionary.getFontFile2()
This is trying to read the "FontFile2" key which was written by FOP.
org.apache.fop.pdf.PDFFontDescriptor.setFontFile()
One of these is missing something.

I guess it is an issue with PDFBox, but without a sample PDF it's only a guess.
Please create an issue on JIRA [1] and attach a sample pdf to it.

RE: How to make embedded font readable?
Posted by Dr Stev <st...@sio.midco.net>.
I have had problems reading and using PDF files that were created in
another application and using embedded fonts. My simple matter was to
print these PDFs. But there was always a font substitution used by
pdfbox that really did not work for me.
I think there is an open issue regarding this and it would be nice to
see it resolved. If I remember right the problem was related to an
incomplete font descriptor or maybe the whole font library wasn't there.
I have had to use another library to print PDFs but I don't like it. It
is not as finished as this library. But at least it knows how to use
the font library that is embedded in the PDF.

RE: How to make embedded font readable?
Posted by Eric Douglas <ed...@blockhouse.com>.
It appears to be finding the correct font, wherever that (org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.FontManager) gets it from.
If I can get it to compile I could just hack around this problem and remove the code creating the log messages.

Sep 13, 2011 11:20:54 AM org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDCIDFontType2Font getawtFont
INFO: Using font Lucida Sans Typewriter Bold instead
The problem is the log messages are caused by pdfbox finding a font object on the text object and trying to use that to create a java.awt.Font but it's not a font.
To reduce the size of the PDF, that font object only contains the glyphs used in the text object rather than the entire font file.
I don't know if there's an easy way to replace that statement with one that reads it in as what it is, a set of glyphs.
awtFont = Font.createFont( Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, ff2Stream.createInputStream() );
Wherever this gets it's values, it is working.
awtFont = FontManager.getAwtFont(fd.getFontName());
Now to figure out what the next warning is doing.
