Extracting fonts from PDF files: method II
(1) Make sure you have Acrobat Reader 3 (not later!!!); (2) Open the PDF in Acrobat Reader 3; (3) While the file is open, look at your temporary file folder (called temp oir tmp on most operating systems--it is /tmp on UNIX/Linux) and look for files like PFB...TMP or with PFB in them. These are the font files; (4) Copy these files and name them whatever.pfb; (5) Open the file in a font editor to rename the font and check things. Renaming can also be done if you have the t1binary package: create a pfa format file, open in a conventional text editor, rename the font, and regenerate a pfb format file; (6) Generate a metrics file (AFM and/or PFM), either through a font editor or by using free tools. |
