[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-4887) Using the same font fully
embedded in plain text and PDTextField, it throws an exception in
PDTextField.setValue
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4887?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17137823#comment-17137823 ]
Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4887:
-----------------------------------------
Sadly, you can't embed fonts from TrueType collections for forms because "not subsetting" isn't supported.
PDFBox fails to detect that this is a TTC file. While these can be used as TrueType fonts logically and subsetting works, they can't be embedded as individual full TrueType files, because PDFBox has no such feature (in theory, one might implement it by expanding TrueTypeEmbedder; but you can convert ttc files to ttf with online converters). And the PDF specification does not support TTC files. Solution: PDFBox must detect this. That is easy, because TTC files begin with "ttcf".
