Custom font does not embed into output PDF using .NET

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

We are trying to preserve custom fonts when converting a .doc to .pdf using Aspose.Words (although we do have the full Aspose collection available).

We are using Doc Load options:

oLoadOptions = NEW Aspose.Words.LoadOptions().
oLoadOptions:LoadFormat = Aspose.Words.LoadFormat:Doc.

And setting the following properties of the save options:

oSaveOptions = NEW Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfSaveOptions().
oSaveOptions:SaveFormat = Aspose.Words.SaveFormat:Pdf.
oSaveOptions:EmbedFullFonts = TRUE.
oSaveOptions:FontEmbeddingMode = Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfFontEmbeddingMode:EmbedAll.
oSaveOptions:EmbedStandardWindowsFonts = TRUE.

We are setting the following properties on the document font info:

oDoc:FontInfos:EmbedTrueTypeFonts = TRUE.
oDoc:FontInfos:SaveSubsetFonts = TRUE.
oDoc:FontInfos:EmbedSystemFonts = TRUE.

By cycling through the fonts on the document fontinfo, we can confirm that the custom font is embedded in the original document and is set as a True Type font.

However, Adobe Acrobat Reader does not display the custom font in the list of fonts in the document properties.

Please advise as to what we are missing to enable the custom font to be embedded in the pdf document.

We have tested the scenario using the latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET 20.2 and have not found the shared issue. So, please use Aspose.Words for .NET 20.2.

Please will you send me your PDF file so that we can check the working output?

Thanks

Please get the output PDF file generated by latest version of Aspose.Words in attachment. 20.2.pdf (728.7 KB)

If you still have it available, please will you provide the script that you used to successfully create the output?

Thank you,
Sam

We used the following C# code example to generate the PDF file.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "input.docx");
PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.EmbedFullFonts = true;
pdfSaveOptions.FontEmbeddingMode = PdfFontEmbeddingMode.EmbedAll;

doc.Save(MyDir + "20.2.pdf", pdfSaveOptions);
