PdfFont.CreateFromFile Method


PdfFontCreateFromFile Method

Loads a TrueType (.ttf) or OpenType (.otf) font from a file path and creates a PdfFont. The font is subset-embedded into the output document — the subset only contains glyphs that are actually used, keeping file size small. This is the path to use for PDF/A and PDF/X output from scratch.
