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.v18.2.Core.dll

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).

Only 255 unique characters from Adobe Glyph List for each font are supported for non-embedded fonts.

Glyph shaping does not work for non-embedded fonts.

Example

This example shows how to programmatically create a document with graphics using the PDF Document Creation API.

To generate a document using the Document Creation API:

• Create an empty document with no pages by calling one of the PdfDocumentProcessor.CreateEmptyDocument overload methods (e.g., using a file path).
• Create PDF graphics represented by an instance of the PdfGraphics class, calling the PdfDocumentProcessor.CreateGraphics method. To access PdfGraphics, you need to reference the DevExpress.Pdf.Drawing assembly.
• Draw the graphic content (e.g., an image, a string, lines, polygons) by calling the corresponding Draw method.
• Render a page with created graphics by calling the PdfDocumentProcessor.RenderNewPage method.
