Name Description
CreateNativeFont()

Gets a Font object created from the embedded font data.

GetFontDescriptor()

Gets an FontDescriptor object that describes the font.
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.
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.

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.
