Extracted fonts is not outputting any fonts.

Problem

When I try to extract font files out of a pdf no fonts are extracted, I've tried multiple different files with different fonts but none of them have worked, I have provided a sample pdf which doesn't work. If there are any more details that I can provide, please let me know.

Details

• I am using the v0.9.1 x86-64 release.
• OS: Windows (64 bits)
• Command: ./pdfcpu.exe extract -mode font "C:/Users/User/Downloads/A.pdf" "C:/Users/User/Downloads/fonts"
• Output:

When I run ./pdfcpu.exe validate -v "C:/Users/School/Downloads/A.pdf" to get font info I get this output:

Total pages: 1

When I added the -v flag to the font extract (./pdfcpu.exe extract -mode font -v "C:/Users/User/Downloads/A.pdf" "C:/Users/User/Downloads/fonts"), I got some more information that might be related to the problem. Can it not make font files embedded in the pdf? Do I have to already have it installed on my computer?

Thanks for reporting this!

If there's any more info I can provide or answers I can question, please let me know

Your file does not have any embedded fonts, that's why.

The latest commit fixes a couple of things for font extraction.

Embedded fonts only that are also registered as TrueType fonts in the cross reference table will be extracted.

Extracted fonts may also be font subsets and contain down to as little as 1 glyph.
