Overview
of
PDF
Font
Formats
PDF
supports
a
confusing
array
of
font
formats
,
the
details
of
which
can
get
confusing
.
In
order
to
help
you
interpret
the
reports
created
by
FontReporter
we
provide
a
quick
summary
of
PDF
font
formats
and
their
most
important
properties
.
While
the
format
of
a
font
in
a
PDF
document
depends
on
the
format
of
the
original
font
used
to
compose
the
document
,
this
is
not
the
only
factor
which
plays
a
role
here
.
Other
factors
include
the
configuration
options
in
the
PDF-creating
software
,
the
settings
of
the
printer
driver
used
to
generate
PostScript
data
for
PDF
conversion
,
the
set
of
characters
in
the
document
,
the
overall
number
of
used
characters
,
and
more
.
A
particularly
important
aspect
is
the
distinction
between
simple
fonts
and
composite
(
CID
)
fonts
.
Simple
fonts
.
Simple
fonts
comprise
the
PostScript
Type
1
(
ncluding
Multiple
Master
),
TrueType
,
and
Type
3
types
,
and
are
addressed
with
8-bit
codes
.
They
are
therefore
limited
a
maximum
of
256
characters
.
Simple
fonts
use
a
name-based
encoding
,
which
is
a
table
for
mapping
the
character
codes
to
the
glyphs
in
the
font
.
Composite
(
CID
)
fonts
.
Composite
or
CID
(
character
ID
)
fonts
come
in
PostScript
and
TrueType
flavors
.
They
can
contain
up
to
65535
characters
and
are
much
more
flexible
than
simple
fonts
.
While
CID
fonts
often
use
2-byte
codes
for
addressing
the
glyphs
in
the
font
,
more
complicated
schemes
with
a
variable
number
of
bytes
per
character
(
1-4
)
are
used
for
CJK
fonts
.
Instead
of
an
encoding
table
CID
fonts
require
a
CMap
(
Character
Map
)
for
providing
the
mapping
from
character
codes
to
actual
glyphs
in
the
font
.
Dozens
of
predefined
CMaps
are
available
for
common
CJK
fonts
.
The
font
’
s
character
collection
specifies
a
particular
set
of
Chinese
,
Japanese
,
or
Korean
characters
.
So-called
Identity
CMaps
are
used
(
mainly
for
Western
fonts
)
in
order
to
directly
address
the
glyphs
in
a
font
without
any
intermediate
mapping
table
.

software

Type

fonts
are
always
embedded
.
They
are
mainly
intended
for
bitmapped
fonts
and
logo
fonts
.
These
fonts
are
often
the
result
of
a
printer
driver
converting
a
PostScript
Type
1
or
TrueType
font
to
a
bitmap
font
.
Some
applications
use
Type

fonts
for
achieving
special
effects
,
such
as
filling
an
area
with
a
pattern

Font
and
Encoding
Information
For
each
font
in
the
document
the
following
pieces
of
information
will
be
provided
.
Font
name
.
If
the
font
name
starts
with
six
random
characters
and
a
plus
sign
,
the
font
is
a
subset
which
does
not
contain
all
characters
which
were
originally
present
in
the
font
.
The
subset
prefix
is
useful
when
multiple
subsets
of
the
same
font
are
embedded
in
a
document
.
CJK
font
names
will
be
displayed
in
their
native
spelling
if
possible
.

Overview
of
PDF
Font
Formats
«,
page

,
for
a
list
of
font
formats
.
Embedding
and
subsetting
status
.
The
embedding
status
of
the
font
,
including
subset
information
and
the
format
of
the
embedded
font
data
.
Encoding
.
The
encoding
defines
the
mapping
of
character
codes
to
glyphs
for
simple
fonts
.
This
may
be
the
name
of
one
of
PDF
’
s
predefined
encodings
WinAnsiEncoding
or
MacRomanEncoding
(
these
are
called
Ansi
and
Roman
in
Acrobat
)
or
custom
for
a
nonstandard
encoding
.
If
no
encoding
information
is
given
explicitly
,
but
the
encoding
which
is
built
into
the
font
must
be
used
,
the
word
builtin
is
displayed
instead
of
an
encoding
name
.
Chapter

CMap
.
For
CID
fonts
the
name
of
a
predefined
CMap
(
character
map
)
will
be
listed
as
encoding
,
plus
the
name
of
the
corresponding
character
collection
(
Chinese
,
Japanese
,
Korean
,
or
Identity
).
Additional
font
information
.
If
a
simple
font
contains
a
CharSet
entry
(
a
list
with
the
names
of
all
glyphs
contained
in
a
subset
)
this
will
be
noted
.
Similarly
,
if
a
CID
font
contains
a
CIDSet
entry
(
a
list
with
all
CIDs
contained
in
a
subset
)
this
will
also
be
noted
.
Symbol
bit
.
The
symbol
bit
signals
that
a
font
contains
characters
outside
the
Adobe
standard
Latin
character
set
.
This
may
be
relevant
for
font
substitution
and
text
extraction
operations
.
For
example
,
a
non-embedded
font
with
the
symbol
bit
cannot
be
substituted
.
Unicode
mapping
table
.
IF
the
font
contains
an
explicit
ToUnicode
mapping
table
this
will
be
mentioned
.
ToUnicode
tables
are
crucial
for
text
extraction
and
search
operations
.

Glyph
Tables
FontReporter
will
create
detailed
glyph
tables
for
each
font
in
the
document
.
The
table
organization
depends
on
the
font
type
.
Regardless
of
the
font
type
,
the
rows
and
columns
of
each
table
will
be
numbered
from
0
to
F
(
these
are
the
hex
codes
for
the
numbers
0-15
);
empty
slots
in
the
tables
will
contain
a
small
dot
as
a
substitute
.
Table
organization
for
simple
fonts
.
Since
simple
fonts
can
address
at
most
256
glyphs
,
a
single
page
with
16x16
slots
is
sufficient
.
All
glyphs
present
in
the
font
/
encoding
combination
will
be
shown
.
Unencoded
glyphs
in
the
font
and
unused
encoding
entries
will
not
be
shown
.
Table
organization
for
CID
fonts
.
Since
CID
fonts
can
contain
thousands
of
glyphs
,
efficient
table
organization
is
important
for
achieving
compact
font
reports
while
at
the
same
time
providing
quick
access
to
particular
code
ranges
.
If
the
font
contains
a
CIDSet
table
,
only
the
CIDs
contained
in
this
table
will
be
shown
;
otherwise
the
CIDs
which
are
actually
used
in
the
document
will
be
shown
.
All
text
on
all
pages
of
the
document
will
be
processed
to
determine
the
set
of
used
CIDs
,
while
text
in
hypertext
elements
(
such
as
form
fields
)
will
be
ignored
.
A
separate
page
will
be
created
for
each
block
of
256
CIDs
.
The
starting
number
of
the
block
(
in
hex
)
and
the
number
of
glyphs
per
block
are
provided
in
the
page
heading
and
the
corresponding
bookmark
.
For
example
,
the
heading
CID
x0000
means
that
this
block
contains
CIDs
0000-00FF
(
hex
),
or
decimal
0-255
;
the
heading
CID
x0100
means
that
this
block
contains
CIDs
0100-01FF
(
hex
),
or
decimal
256-511
.
Empty
blocks
will
be
omitted
to
reduce
the
overall
size
of
the
font
report
.
Information
for
each
glyph
.
For
each
glyph
in
a
table
the
following
information
will
be
shown
:
>
A
gray
rectangle
showing
the
glyph
width
(
the
height
of
the
rectangle
is
constant
,
and
not
related
to
the
glyph
geometry
)
>
The
actual
glyph
will
be
displayed
.
Sometimes
the
font
does
not
contain
the
corresponding
glyph
description
.
In
this
case
the
font
’
s
.
notdef
glyph
will
be
displayed
;
depending
on
the
type
of
font
it
may
be
represented
as
a
space
character
,
hollow
box
,
12
Chapter

:
Working

crossed
box
,
or
similar
.
For
CID
fonts
with
vertical
writing
mode
the
glyphs
will
be
positioned
such
that
they
match
the
table
grid
.
>
For
simple
(
8-bit
)
fonts
the
name
of
the
glyph
will
be
shown
.
>
If
the
font
contains
a
Unicode
mapping
table
(
a
ToUnicode
CMap
),
the
glyph
’
s
Unicode
value
(
s
)
will
be
shown
in
U
+
xxxx
notation
if
available
.
Multiple
Unicode
values
may
be
present
for
glyphs
which
map
to
a
sequence
of
multiple
Unicode
characters
,
such
as
ligatures
and
fractions
.
If
a
ToUnicode
table
is
present
for
the
font
,
but
it
does
not
contain
an
entry
for
this
glyph
(
this
may
happen
for
non-textual
symbols
which
are
contained
in
a
text
font
),
FontReporter
will
display
the
string
(
missing
)
instead
.
If
the
Unicode
values
contain
a
surrogate
pair
(
two
UTF-16
values
)
the
corresponding
UTF-32
value
will
be
displayed
instead
.

Investigate
PDF
Problems
with
FontReporter
This
section
lists
some
common
problem
scenarios
along
with
hints
for
interpreting
the
font
report
in
order
to
identify
problems
.
Text
Extraction
does
not
work
.
FontReporter
is
very
useful
if
you
try
to
extract
text
from
a
PDF
(
using
PDFlib
TET
,
Adobe
Acrobat
,
or
any
other
tool
)
and
the
the
extracted
text
is
incomplete
or
wrong
.
Some
hints
:
>
For
simple
fonts
check
the
encoding
,
glyph
name
,
and
Unicode
mapping
.
In
many
cases
errors
in
the
PDF
,
font
,
or
encoding
are
easy
to
identify
.
In
PDFlib
TET
you
can
correct
many
kinds
of
errors
by
supplying
appropriate
processing
options
or
custom
Unicode
mapping
tables
.
>
For
some
font
/
encoding
combinations
text
extraction
will
only
work
if
a
proper
ToUnicode
mapping
table
is
present
.
The
font
report
will
tell
you
whether
or
not
this
data
structure
is
present
in
the
PDF
.
Complicated
Unicode
mappings
.
In
some
situations
the
Unicode
mapping
of
a
glyph
may
not
be
obvious
.
For
examples
,
a
font
’
s
Unicode
mapping
can
decompose
ligatures
into
multiple
constituent
characters
in
order
to
facilitate
text
extraction
.
On
the
other
hand
,
ligatures
sometimes
have
wrong
Unicode
mappings
which
thwart
text
extraction
.
Error
message
in
Acrobat
.
For
some
problematic
PDFs
Acrobat
will
complain
Cannot
find
or
create
font
XXX
.
Some
characters
may
not
display
or
print
correctly
.
and
display
bullets
instead
of
the
font
’
s
characters
.
This
usually
happens
when
the
font
is
neither
embedded
nor
installed
on
the
system
,
and
Acrobat
cannot
substitute
the
font
because
the
symbol
bit
is
set
.
Type
3
fonts
.
Type
3
fonts
may
cause
the
PDF
to
print
slowly
or
prevent
text
extracting
and
editing
.
The
font
report
will
provide
a
useful
overview
of
Type
3
fonts
and
the
glyphs
they
contain
.
Glyph
complement
of
font
subsets
.
Font
subsets
do
not
contain
all
glyphs
which
were
initially
available
in
a
font
.
The
font
report
displays
the
glyph
complement
(
set
of
available
glyphs
)
in
a
font
subset
.
Duplicate
fonts
.
In
some
situations
(
e
.
g
.
combining
pages
from
several
PDFs
)
multiple
subsets
of
the
same
font
may
be
present
in
a
PDF
,
or
even
multiple
instances
of
the
same
font
.
This
can
cause
file
size
bloat
or
even
printing
problems
.
The
font
report
will
clearly
identify
this
problem
.
Distinguish
text
and
graphics
.
Sometimes
it
is
difficult
to
see
whether
content
in
a
PDF
is
actually
represented
as
native
text
,
vector
graphics
,
or
an
image
.
The
font
report
helps
in
identifying
various
uncommon
scenarios
:
>
Text
which
is
represented
as
vector
graphics
(
outline
text
)
or
an
image
will
be
missing
from
the
font
report
.
>
If
a
logo
or
other
symbol
is
represented
by
a
special
font
you
can
easily
identify
the
logo
font
in
the
font
report
.

Known
problems
in

We
are
currently
aware
of
the
following
minor
problems
:
>
In
rare
cases
the
glyphs
of
Type
3
fonts
may
appear
too
small
or
too
large
,
or
not

baseline
.
>
Although

entries
with
non-Latin
characters

be
displayed
properly
in
the
bookmarks
,
they
will
appear
garbled
in

.
>
Sometimes
not
all
glyph
names
are
shown
for
simple

with
the
predefined
encodings
WinAnsi
or

.
>
Glyph

are
not
shown
,
nor
those
for
custom
encodings
which
are
based
on
a
font
’
s

.
>
Unicode

will
not
be
shown
for
CID
fonts
with
standard
CJK
character
collections
and
simple
fonts
with
the
predefined

.
However
,
since
these
are
fixed
mappings
no
document-specific
information
is
lost
.
