Font fully embedded in PDF

Hi everyone,
 
My question is rather simple : is it possible to fully embed a Font when exporting a BIRT report to PDF ?
 
I currently have Fonts embedded, no problem there. However, only subset of Fonts are embedded (saw it from the PDF properties). Because of post-process we're making on the PDF, we need to have the Font completely embedded.
 
Is it possible with BIRT ? Is it maybe a limitation of iText ?
 
Thank you very much !

What specifically are you needing to do in post processing that requires a full font embedded that cannot be accomplished with a subset?

We have a post-process service which works directly with iText API (without re-running the report due to performance) in order to add 2 additional information on the report.
 
In order to have the correct Font, we retrieve them directly from the PDF. As we obviously have to add chars which were not present in the report ... we're missing them.
 
But for now we added a hidden label on the report which contains all chars in the required Font ... it's a good compromise I believe ...
 
Cheers

Alright, your workaround is probably going to be the best solution for the time being.
 
I think the other option here is going to be to modify the existing PDF emitter as I do not believe the current configuration allows for full embedding.
