I am using the latest version: 10.12.

While researching this further I found a forum post that indicated what I want is not possible:
http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/how-to-do-full-font-embedding_topic2748.html?KW=font

Rowan stated, "Currently Debenu Quick PDF Library only supports embedding fonts in PDF files when the text is being added. It is not possible to embed the font in the PDF after the PDF has been generated by a PDF printer driver such as PDFCreator, as you are trying to do."

My PDF is created by another tool and I am trying to embed the font for text that is already in the PDF.  I can upload a sample if you think it is worth the trouble.

Bob,

Which version of Debenu Quick PDF Library are you using ?

Would it be possible to upload the PDF and TTF file so we can see what is happening. 

Another option is to send an email to support@debenu.com

Andrew.

I'm trying to embed a font in an existing PDF but it doesn't seem to work the way I think it should.

I have an existing PDF that does not have embedded fonts.  The PDF uses OCR A Extended, which is a TrueType font.  I embed the font using LoadFromFile and AddTrueTypeFont then SaveToFile.  I get back a font ID so I know it embedded.  Also the file is quite a bit bigger.  When I view the file in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat on a PC without that font, it is doing a substitution for Helvetica.  How can I get that text to display in the font I am embedding.

Thanks,
Bob
