Skip compression for ill-formed fonts #278

Closed astefanutti closed 1 year ago

astefanutti commented 1 year ago

Some fonts written in the PDF returned by Puppeteer may be ill-formed. This is a work-around that skips font compression in that case, until it's fixed in Puppeteer > Chromium > Skia.

This happens for system fonts like Helvetica Neue for which cmap table is missing.

Fixes #202.

Thank you very much! It fits my current needs to 90%. Vier PDF viewers PDF Expert and Preview (from Apple) can read such generated files. Adobe Acrobat Reader refuses the document as unreadable and uncorrectable ;-) Maybe that will be fixed, when Puppeteer will fix it in Skia! Until than, again ... THANK YOU!
