Hello Priya,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Currently you can get Font Name from a PDF document and save it in an output stream object like in following code snippet.

Document doc = new Document(dataDir + “input.pdf”);

// Iterate through all the pages

for (com.aspose.pdf.Page page : (Iterable)doc.getPages())
{

    if (page.getResources().getFonts() != null)
    {

        for (com.aspose.pdf.Font pageFont : (Iterable)page.getResources().getFonts())
        {

            System.out.println(pageFont.getFontName());

            ByteArrayOutputStream dstStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

            pageFont.save(dstStream);

        }

    }

}

Thanks for your inquiry.

We have implemented the method getType() in the class com.aspose.pdf.Font, but for getting font encoding, we need additional investigation. Our product team will further investigate the feasibility of the feature and as soon as we have some new on its availability, we will let you know. Please spare us little time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
