Methods

CreateNativeFont()

Gets a Font object created from the embedded font data.

Note that this method will return null if the font is not embedded or does not support this operation (e.g. Type3 fonts).

public abstract Font CreateNativeFont()

Returns

Font

The Font object.

GetEmbeddedData()

Returns the stream containing the embedded font data, returns null if the font is not embedded, the stream should be disposed after usage.

public Stream GetEmbeddedData()

Returns

System.IO.Stream

The stream with font data or null if the font is not embedded.

GetFontAttributes(out string, out FontWeight?, out FontStretch?, out bool?)

Extracts the attributes of the current font. If a specific attribute cannot be determined, the corresponding output value is set to null.

public void GetFontAttributes(out string fontFamily, out FontWeight? fontWeight, out FontStretch? fontStretch, out bool? fontItalic)

Parameters

fontFamily string
fontWeight FontWeight?
fontStretch FontStretch?
fontItalic bool?

GetFontDescriptor()

Gets an FontDescriptor object that describes the font.

public abstract FontDescriptor GetFontDescriptor()

Returns

FontDescriptor

RemoveEmbeddedData(GcPdfDocument)

Removes the embedded font data.

Please note that a PDF may display incorrectly after removing an embedded font's data. Use with caution.

public abstract void RemoveEmbeddedData(GcPdfDocument doc)

Parameters

doc GcPdfDocument

The document that owns the font.

TryGetPdfCode(string, out uint, out int)

Tries to convert a Unicode value to the character's PDF code.

Note that this method can fail if the font does not contain the necessary info for the conversion or does not contain the specified Unicode value.

Note also that this method can be slow as it uses large font tables like /Encoding, /ToUnicode etc., so it is recommended that the returned results are cached by the caller.

public abstract bool TryGetPdfCode(string unicode, out uint pdfCode, out int pdfCodeLength)

Parameters

unicode string

The character Unicode.

pdfCode uint

OUT: The character PDF code.

pdfCodeLength int

OUT: The length of pdfCode in bytes.

Returns

bool

true if the conversion was successful, false otherwise.

TryGetUnicode(uint, out string)

Converts a character's PDF code to its Unicode value.

Note that this method can fail if the font does not contain the necessary info for the conversion.

Note also that this method can be slow as it uses large font tables like /Encoding, /ToUnicode etc., so the returned results better be cached by the caller.

public abstract bool TryGetUnicode(uint pdfCode, out string unicode)

Parameters

pdfCode uint

The character PDF code.

unicode string

OUT: The character Unicode.

Returns

bool

True if the conversion was successful, false otherwise.
