Embed Fonts in Generated PDF Document

EVO PDF Client for .NET Core

EVO HTML to PDF Converter can embed the fonts in the generated PDF document to ensure the PDF document is using the same fonts on any computer where the document is displayed. The API property which controls the fonts embedding in the generated PDF document is PdfDocumentOptionsEmbedFonts. An object of PdfDocumentOptions type is exposed by the HtmlToPdfConverterPdfDocumentOptions property.
