Hi,
Is there a way to identify if there are any non embedded fonts in a pdf
document using a java API.

Any java API's for pdf that may do this?

Your input is very well appreciated.

Thanks

I don't know if it will do what you want, but iText is a Java API for PDF...

I'm sure you can get such info through pure java API.

PDFBox (http://www.pdfbox.org/) should be a good start point.

Thanks guys for all the responses.

I tried out pdfbox and it seems to be a decent API to do this job. But
it is very slow. Any other suggestions. Basically the API has to read
the resources dictionary of all the pages.
