We are using PDFCreator (setup as Network Printer) to create a PDF document.

Selecting the Embed Fonts option doesn’t seem to work correctly, so I was going to try this with QuickPDF.

Using the QP functions, FindFonts, GetFontID, SelectFont and FontType I can see what fonts are in the printed PDF (they are Type 2 – ie. Standard), but how do I EMBED these fonts into the file (ie. complies with Full Font Embedding).

I thought I could use the SaveFontToFile function, but only True Type fonts can be saved.

I'm using QuickPDF version 9.16.

Thanks Chris

Hi Chris,

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.

Sorry I don't have better news for you...

Cheers,
