Extracting fonts from documents

This feature, extracting embedded fonts from documents, relies on PoDoFo and currently works only for PDF documents.

  1. Choose Service → Extract fonts….

  2. In Select PDF click Browse and pick the source PDF.

  3. Enable checkboxes for fonts of interest.

  4. Click Select Dir to choose where to save extracted fonts.

  5. Click Extract.

  6. Click Close when done.

Notes: fonts are rarely embedded fully — what you typically get is a subsetted font containing only the glyphs actually used in the document. Fontmatrix saves these fonts in PFB format and stores useful information from the embedded font.

Important

The Fontmatrix team strongly discourages users from infringing copyright. This feature exists for fun and education, not for making unlicensed profit from someone else's work. If you want to create a derivative of a font whose license doesn't explicitly allow that, contact the designer or vendor first.
