Doc Text:
Cause: Poppler library doesn't remove headers specific to PFB format (Printer Font Binary) of Type1 font from fonts which were used as substitutiond of fonts used in input PDF file when converting it to a PostScript file. Consequence: Resulting PostScript file is syntactically wrong. Fix: Remove the headers before encoding and embedding the Type1 PFB fonts to the PostScript file. Result: The resulting PostScript file is syntactically correct.

Fix PFB font embedding

Description of problem:
Exporting a PDF which uses a system PFB font as a substitution of a font which was not embedded in it can produce syntactically wrong PostScript file.
This was already fixed upstream and the fix is available since poppler-0.24.3 (see the attached patch).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
poppler-0.22.5-6.el7


How reproducible:
Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. get https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=884959
2. run "pdftops noembed.pdf noembed.ps"
3. open the noembed.ps by executing "gs noembed.ps"


Actual results:
Syntax error.


Expected results:
The file opens and looks like the noembed.pdf.
