PdfProcessing: Implement a setting that allows to choose if the fonts should be embedded in the document
According to PDF specification, all fonts should be embedded except from 14 Standard PDF fonts. This guarantees that the PDF file is self-contained and will be rendered successfully on different devices and operation systems.

However, some clients prefer not to embed fonts in order to reduce file size. That is why we may provide such API.

Hi Wei,

Indeed the feature is implemented and went live with Release R1 2022 SP1.

In order to use this new functionality, you will need to set the PdfExportSettings` ShouldEmbedFonts property to false:

PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
provider.ExportSettings.ShouldEmbedFonts = false;

Information about that can be found in the PdfFormatProvider`s Export Settings help article.

Hi,

 

Has the feature been implemented in the recent release of 2022 R1 SP1?

If so how can it be enabled, any special setting for this?

 

Regards,

Wei

Hi Wei,

We are currently investigating the option of implementing this functionality. Until the planning is done I am afraid I cannot engage with a timeframe, so please, continue following the item so we can keep you informed.

Hi,

I came across the same issue recently. A single page of PDF file containing only a few lines of text takes up more than 9M, which is not applicable for a web system.

Are there any other alternatives in telerik library for generating PDF files?

I am using the PdfFormatProvider to export the RadFixedDocument created by RadFixedDocumentEditor, while it seems no way to set "FontEmbedding" to None, the font is always embedded into the generated file.

Regards,

Wei

Hello Sunil,

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing issues due to currently not being supported by the PdfProcessing functionality.

I will add this request as a suggestion for the planning for the next Release but I am afraid I cannot engage with an opinion on whether it will be included or with a specific date for its implementation. 

Please, continue following the item so you can be notified when its status changes.

Hi! 

Any progress on this? Looks like this was originally opened in 2016. We send PDFs to our customer and because of the size their mail boxes are filling up.

 

Thank you,

Sunil

Some result of this resource because we have to use third-party libraries to be able to compress the pdfs

Hi Claudio,

Thank you for the provided feedback.

This item has a relatively high priority in our backlog but I cannot engage with a specific date for its implementation because our development team is working on more demanded tasks. I apologize for the inconvenience this missing functionality might be causing you.
