Seven of the fonts included with Adobe's Asian Font Pack can be used in a PDF document and do not need to be embedded into a PDF document when it is created. All that is required is that the Asian Font Pack be installed on the system. The 7 CJK PDF fonts are accessed through static properties on the Font class:

• Japanese

  • Font.getHeiseiKakuGothicW5()
  • Font.getHeiseiMinchoW3()

• Korean

  • Font.getHanyangSystemsGothicMedium()
  • Font.getHanyangSystemsShinMyeongJoMedium()

• Simplified Chinese
  • Font.getSinoTypeSongLight()
• Traditional Chinese

  • Font.getMonotypeHeiMedium()
  • Font.getMonotypeSungLight()

A CJK font can be used as follows:

[Java]
    // Use a core font in a text area Page Element.
    page1.getElements().add(new TextArea("CJK Text", 0, 0, 200, 12, Font.getHeiseiKakuGothicW5(), 16));
