  [activereports_archive]Hi,
  
  I would like to embed a font in the created PDF as described here
  
  http://arhelp.grapecity.com/groups/topic/creating-a-pdf-with-embedded-font/
  
  but the font is only available within the resource of the C# application.

  Hence, I can’t refer to this font by its name nor by its filename.
  
  Is there any solution for this usage scenario available?
  
  Thanks[/activereports_archive]

  [activereports_archive]Hello

  In ActiveReports11, you may embed fonts in exported pdf file by using “AddFontLink” attribute in App.Config/web.config file. Here is a documentation link that may help you: http://arhelp.grapecity.com/webhelp/AR11/index.html#PDFCustomFontFactory.html
  
  All you would need to do is just add a Folder “Fonts” and add your font to it.

  Let me know if this does not resolve the issue.

  [activereports_archive]Thanks.
  
  But since the fonts are already embedded in my C# application within the resource file - can I reuse them?[/activereports_archive]

  [activereports_archive]Hi

  I am discussing this use case with the concerned team and will let you know as I receive information from them.
  
  Also, would it be possible for you to create a Folder in your c# application and add the font (embedded in Resources file) to the newly created folder?

  Thanks & Regards

  [activereports_archive]My goal is to avoid storing the fonts externally on our customers environment.[/activereports_archive]

  [activereports_archive]Hello,

  I have attached a sample application demonstrating how to use fonts residing inside applications’ “Resources” to get embedded in exported pdf file.
  
  For this we have used the “AddFontLink” property and passed the Resources path where Font resides using “AddFolder” property in the App.Config file.
  
  Also, you would need to use the ActiveReports11 build version “11.1.10036.0” for implementing this. You may download this build version from here: cdn.grapecity.com/ActiveReports/ar11/hotfixes/ActiveReports-v11.1.10036.0.msi

  For detailed information, please refer to following Documentation link: http://arhelp.grapecity.com/webhelp/AR11/index.html#PDFCustomFontFactory.html

  Thanks & Regards
