ICEpdf Open Source

ICEpdf Open Source uses java.awt.Font when reading system font files for substitution. ICEpdf Open Source, by default, disables using java.awt.Font for reading embedded font files, because a malformed font file can crash the JVM. The system property org.icepdf.core.awtFontLoading=true can be set to enable java.awt.Font embedded font loading.

ICEpdf Pro

ICEpdf Pro allows for unprecedented font reproduction and rendering speed. ICEpdf Pro is a commercial product and requires icepdf-pro.jar and icepdf-pro-intl.jar libraries are on the application class path.The following embedded font types are supported:

• Type 0 • Type 1
• Type 2 • Type3
• TrueType • OpenType


If your application requires support for Asian languages such as Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, you should add the optional JAR icepdf-pro-intl.jar to your application classpath to ensure maximum rendering quality and accuracy of the respective language's characters.
