How BIRT embed fonts into PDF [message #1067805]

Hi,
Just a general question to BIRT experts. We are using BIRT 3.7.1 and integrated it with our application through ReportEngine API...

Does BIRT embed fonts into PDF output? Or it relies that client workstation where PDF is to be rendered should have the font installed? How does that work in general and are there any option to affect the embed behavior?

There is PDFRenderOption.IS_EMBEDDED_FONT settings but the docs say it is deprecated.

Thanks,
Aleksey

BIRT embeds the font by default into the PDF you can change this by using

pdfRenderOption.setEmbededFont(false);

however, this method is DEPRECATED in BIRT....so it should not be really used....

/**
* @deprecated
* @param isEmbededFont
*/
public void setEmbededFont( boolean isEmbededFont );
