   hai,
 I am creating a pdf by reading all th text  from a pdf. The fonts present in the pdf is not installed 
in my machine. By default helvatica is applied to the text. The font present in the original pdf is "TYPE 1" font.
what i have tried is,
  1. get the font id of the font from the pdf
  2. select the font using the id returned.
  3. draw the text
but it is not applied.I not having the .pfm and .pfb for the font. Is there is any other function to 
apply the TYPE 1 font? I saw in the help file a function "AddPackagedFont()".How this function can be used?
Please help me.
