Greetings,

i am using following code to attach 3 fonts to my pdf file, but only this protects takes longer to complete rather than all other process.

adding 3 fonts taking almost 6 seconds, that's huge and user have to wait that long.. :(

        dtTimer = DateTime.Now
        intF1 = objPDF.AddTrueTypeFontFromFileEx(strAppPath & "\fonts\SutonnyMJ-Regular.ttf", 0)
        MessageBox.Show(DateTime.Now.Subtract(dtTimer).TotalSeconds.ToString) REM 
        dtTimer = DateTime.Now
        intF2 = objPDF.AddTrueTypeFontFromFileEx(strAppPath & "\fonts\SutonnyMJ-Bold.ttf", 0)
        MessageBox.Show(DateTime.Now.Subtract(dtTimer).TotalSeconds.ToString) REM 
        dtTimer = DateTime.Now
        intF3 = objPDF.AddTrueTypeFontFromFileEx(strAppPath & "\fonts\Modded.ttf", 0)
        MessageBox.Show(DateTime.Now.Subtract(dtTimer).TotalSeconds.ToString) REM

if you need the font files to test, i can share..

thanks in advance...

best regards

so, As a work around, i tried to create a blank pdf file and embedded those font, so that later i will just load that blank pdf file to faster the process.

here is the code i used to make the blank pdf:

        intF1 = objPDF.AddTrueTypeFontFromFileEx(strAppPath & "\fonts\SutonnyMJ-Regular.ttf", 0)
        intF2 = objPDF.AddTrueTypeFontFromFileEx(strAppPath & "\fonts\SutonnyMJ-Bold.ttf", 0)
        intF3 = objPDF.AddTrueTypeFontFromFileEx(strAppPath & "\fonts\Modded.ttf", 0)
        objPDF.SaveToFile(strCurPath & "\Test.pdf")

and here is the code to load the pdf file and try to use the saved/embedded fonts:

        objPDF.LoadFromFile(strCurPath & "\Test.pdf", "")
        objPDF.FindFonts()
        intF3 = objPDF.GetFontID(1)
        objPDF.SetHTMLNormalFont("Default", intF3)
        objPDF.DrawHTMLText(25, 25, 200, "100 $ 200 @ 300 ! 400 \")
        objPDF.SaveToFile(strCurPath & "\Output.pdf")

but unfortunately that didn't work.. when i tried to open that output.pdf file adobe shows a error and the printed text is garbage

so, now i am stuck and out of ideas :(

any help would be highly appreciated :)

There were issues discussed in this forum last year with Bangla fonts (i do not recall if it was you who started them). I suggest you make up a small example of the problem and open a support ticket at https://www.debenu.com/support, because it will be outside the experience of most of the other users here (including me!).

hi sir, greetings.. hope you are doing fine..

yes that was also me,

but i don't think it's related to font language/codding? as those font are not Unicode font.

any other idea/suggestion? please?

thanks in advance

No, I have no other suggestion. I think that opening a support ticket is simple and is most likely to provide you with an answer. If the font is not a Unicode font then Foxit support should be able to tell you whether its encoding is supported.
