I am writing a plugin and I cant seem to find a way in sdk to determine if the document has missing fonts

I also looked at the info regarding to the font format for a Font and could not find a way beyond CID fonts

So I came across PDFontWasFauxed is this a safe bet to detect missing font?

What specifically and exactly do you mean by a "missing font"? I am not sure this concept actually exists in a PDF. Do you mean the PDF is fine but the font is neither embedded, nor available to the system?

Also.. even with the API... a font would not be fauxed if it is found in the system. Perhaps you need to explain your use case rather than use technical terms which may not be exactly correct.


I can create a pdf where while saving a pdf doc, one can unembed fonts

This way we can create a pdf which we open on another machine, will not be properly rendered

 

I am creating a plugin which can detect which exact fonts are missing in the document

I will be able to use the detected data and then activate the fonts from my font inventory

 

Thanks for the interest 🙂
