Examples

Shows how to enable or disable subsetting when embedding fonts while rendering a document to PDF.

builder.writeln("Hello world!")
builder.font.name = "Arvo"

# Configure our font sources to ensure that we have access to both the fonts in this document.

# to modify how that method converts the document to .PDF.
options = aw.saving.PdfSaveOptions()

# Since our document contains a custom font, embedding in the output document may be desirable.
# Set the "embed_full_fonts" property to "True" to embed every glyph of every embedded font in the output PDF.
# The document's size may become very large, but we will have full use of all fonts if we edit the PDF.
# Set the "embed_full_fonts" property to "False" to apply subsetting to fonts, saving only the glyphs
# that the document is using. The file will be considerably smaller,
# but we may need access to any custom fonts if we edit the document.
options.embed_full_fonts = embed_full_fonts
