The Syncfusion .NET PDF Library offers powerful capabilities for embedding fonts in PDF documents, ensuring consistent rendering across devices and platforms. This guide presents a collection of samples that demonstrate how to embed various font types, render complex scripts, optimize file size, and apply font embedding in real-world scenarios.
| Sample name | Description |
|---|---|
| Embedding Standard Fonts in PDF | Demonstrates how to use built-in standard fonts (like Helvetica, Times New Roman, Courier) in PDF documents. These fonts are widely supported and do not require external font files, making them ideal for basic text rendering. |
| Embed a TrueType Font in a PDF Document | Shows how to embed a TrueType (.ttf) font into a PDF using C#. This ensures that the document retains its intended appearance even if the font is not installed on the viewer’s system. |
| Embed OpenType Fonts (OTF) in a PDF Document | Explains how to embed OpenType (.otf) fonts, which support advanced typographic features. This is useful for professional publishing and multilingual documents. |
| Rendering Unicode Text in PDF | Demonstrates how to render Unicode text (e.g., multilingual content) in a PDF by embedding appropriate fonts. This ensures accurate representation of characters from various languages and scripts. |
| Rendering Complex Script Text in PDF | Shows how to embed fonts that support complex scripts such as Arabic, Hindi, Tamil, or Thai. These scripts require advanced shaping and positioning, which is handled by the embedded font. |
| Subsetting Fonts for Optimized File Size | Illustrates how to subset fonts—embedding only the glyphs used in the document—to reduce the PDF file size while maintaining visual fidelity. |
| Embed Fonts in an Existing PDF via PDF/A Conversion | Explains how to embed fonts in an existing PDF document by converting it to PDF/A format, which is designed for long-term archiving and requires all fonts to be embedded. |
| Real-World Use Cases | Highlights practical applications of font embedding: • Invoice Creator: Ensures consistent branding and layout across invoices. • Certificate Generator: Embeds decorative or signature fonts to maintain design integrity when shared or printed. |
