Hiya,

I've got various documents created with QuickPDF that have embedded fonts in them and I need to merge them all into one document. This is being done a-ok, but each document basically embeds the same fonts and so the final merged document is much larger than it needs to be. Is there any way to remove embedded fonts or combine documents without replicating existing fonts? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks. :)

Hi Greg!

QuickPDF doesn't offer functions to remove fonts. There's only one replace-function but these doesn't work good enough.

Best regards,
Ingo

Thanks Ingo.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. So I started tinkering around in the source code and I think I've found a solution, although it's more specialized to our particular issue rather than a wide scale fix. Thanks anyway though. :)

EDIT: Actually, looking at it and pondering, it could probably be respec'd to be a "compactFont" routine for any given font that the coder has embedded if anyone would have need for such a thing.
