How to get the list of embedded fonts in a PDF?

[Hashim Saleem]

Hi,

Can I use itextSharp to retrieve all the embedded fonts in a PDF? If so, which class to look at?

Regards,
Hashim Saleem

[Paulo Soares]

BaseFont.GetDocumentFonts().

Do you know why BaseFont.GetDocumentFonts() always returns an empty ArrayList in my code?
I have a PDF template with embedded fonts (Document Properties->Fonts in Acrobat Reader tells me I have the embedded font in the file, Type: TrueType, Encoding: Ansi) and I'm trying to get the embedded fonts with the following code:
..
string template = context.Server.MapPath(templateUrl);
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(template);
ArrayList fonts = BaseFont.GetDocumentFonts(pdfReader);
..

The pdfReader is working and I can create a new PDF from the template but fonts.Count == 0 every time!

Please help!

Without seeing the pdf your guess is as good as mine.

Ok, I have managed to get the fonts working...but now when I use the font and call doc.NewPage() I get an error. The code is below and I'll try to upload the pdf template I'm using. What am I doing wrong here?

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Should embedded font be used?
const bool useEmbeddedFont = true;

//Create new document and write to memory
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4, 36, 36, 120, 36);
MemoryStream pdf = new MemoryStream();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, pdf);
doc.Open();

//Set up reader to read template
string template = Server.MapPath(TemplateSourceDirectory + "/nabble_test.pdf");
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(template);

//Add template to document
PdfImportedPage page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, 1);
PdfContentByte content = writer.DirectContent;
content.AddTemplate(page, 0, 0);

//Get font
ArrayList fonts = BaseFont.GetDocumentFonts(reader);
BaseFont font;
string text;
if (fonts.Count > 0 && useEmbeddedFont)
{
        //Use first font
        Object[] obj = (Object[])fonts[0];
        font = BaseFont.CreateFont((PRIndirectReference)(obj[1]));
        text = "Document font.";
}
else
{
        font = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
        text = "Helvetica";
}

//Write some text to first page using document font
Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph(text, new Font(font));
doc.Add(p1);

//Create a new page and add the template again
doc.NewPage(); //if useEmbeddedFont this fails!
content.AddTemplate(page, 0, 0);

//Write some text to second page using document font
Paragraph p2 = new Paragraph(text, new Font(font));
doc.Add(p2);

doc.Close();
reader.Close();
writer.Close();
}
nabble_test.pdf

Without seeing the pdf your guess is as good as mine.
