Font embedding command line options
If a font is not embedded pdfaPilot CLI will search the system's font direc-tories in order to find the needed font file, which are:
Windows |
|
MacOS |
|
Linux |
|
Additionally the font folder installed together with pdfaPilot CLI will be searched. This folder lies next to the executable in "<callas pdfaPilot CLI directory>\etc\APDFL\Resource\Font".
Define an additional font folder
--fontfolder=<path> Additional folder to look up fonts for embedding.
Parameters
|
path |
Path to config file |
Example:
--fontfolder="C:\AdditionalFonts" - Note: You can force pdfaPilot CLI to only scan the folder defined by --fontfolder (and not search the system's font folders) by using the option --fontonly.
Substitute fonts
--substitute[=<path>] Font substitution can be used when the original fonts used in a PDF file are not available. By default, the font substitution file pdfa.cfg stored in "etc/FontSubstitution/" provides the basis for substitution.
Alternatively, you can also enter a custom path to a fontsubstitution file, e.g.:
--substitute=C:\fontsubstitution.cfg If you want to switch off font substitution completely, just hand over an invalid value, e.g.:
--substitute=no Parameters

path |
Optional, path to config file |
The following notations are allowed in the fontsubstitution.cfg:
SubstituteAll
Each font can be substituted by every other font of the entry.
SubstituteAll<tab>fontname<tab>fontname<tab>fontname... SubstituteFirst
Only the first font of the entry can be substituted by the following fonts.
SubstituteFirst<tab>font to be substituted<tag>fontname <tab>... More examples
