PdfCreationOptions.DisableEmbeddingAllFonts Property

Gets or sets a value that specifies whether to prohibit embedding all fonts in a PDF document.

Namespace: DevExpress.Pdf

Assembly: DevExpress.Pdf.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Pdf.Core

Declaration

C#

public bool DisableEmbeddingAllFonts { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property DisableEmbeddingAllFonts As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to disable embedding all fonts in the PDF; otherwise false.

Remarks

Set this property to true if you wish to not embed all fonts in a PDF document (e.g, the font could not be embedded due to licensing).

Non-embedded fonts can contain only 256 unique Unicode characters each.

Glyph shaping does not work for non-embedded fonts.

Example

This example shows the PDF Document Creation API that is used to programmatically generate a document layout.

• The custom DrawGraphics method draws content inside an empty PDF document.
• The custom AddWatermark method generates a watermark with custom text and adds it to the created PDF document.

When you launch the app, the file is saved to your Documents folder (%userprofile%/Documents).
