# NAME

pdffonts - Portable Document Format (PDF) font analyzer (version 3.03)

# SYNOPSIS

pdffonts [options] [PDF-file]

# DESCRIPTION

Pdffonts lists the fonts used in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file along with various information for each font.

If PDF-file is '-', it reads the PDF file from stdin.

The following information is listed for each font:

name

  the font name, exactly as given in the PDF file (potentially including a subset prefix)

type

  the font type – see below for details

encoding

  the font encoding

emb

  "yes" if the font is embedded in the PDF file

sub

  "yes" if the font is a subset

uni

  "yes" if there is an explicit "ToUnicode" map in the PDF file (the absence of a ToUnicode map doesn't necessarily mean that the text can't be converted to Unicode)

object ID

  the font dictionary object ID (number and generation)

PDF files can contain the following types of fonts:

> Type 1

> Type 1C – aka Compact Font Format (CFF)

> Type 3

> TrueType

> CID Type 0 – 16-bit font with no specified type

> CID Type 0C – 16-bit PostScript CFF font
