Listing 2. PDF Generation with Embedded Fonts

import inetsoft.report.pdf.*;
…
FileOutputStream pdffile = …;
ReportEnv.setProperty("font.truetype.path",
"c:/winnt/fonts");
PDF3Printer pdf = new PDF3Printer(pdffile);
report.print(pdf.getPrintJob());
pdf.close();

The PDF3Printer class is derived from the PDFPrinter class and shares the same methods for controlling PDF generation, such as image and text compression. It has additional methods for controlling the font embedding. By default, only font meta-data is embedded in the PDF files. For TrueType fonts, the entire font file can be embedded in the PDF file. This provides maximum portability at the price of larger file size.

pdf.setEmbedFont(true); // embed font file 

If a font's file is not found on the specified font path, it is mapped to a base-14 Font in the same way as PDFPrinter.
