You can check the resolution of images with the Preflight Tool of Adobe
Acrobat.

PDF is in general an vector format and is therefore not affected by the
"resolution-problem". Only embedded images, bitmap fonts and similar things
have their own resolution. But that is individually to each embedded item
and does not apply to the pdf itself.

PDF-MRC (Mixed Raster Content) compression

Hello,
Any idea of the appropriate way of getting the PDF-MRC (Mixed Raster
Content) compression? This format combines multiple compression algorithms
according to the different layers of the image and the text included in the
PDF.
Thanks for your infiormation.

Not really. I downloaded that PDF file, and in this case, the PDF
font objects contain no Encoding key at all. With TrueType fonts,
that typically indicates use of WinAnsiEncoding (or MacRomanEncoding -
but those two are close enough, at least for the 7-bit ASCII part).
But in this case, the fonts are subsets and are not using an

Thanks for your response and informations from

If the problem is « unable to find information from the font », is there
a way that pdftotext returns a message or a code for that situation ?

I can't get that download to work, but typically that sort of output
means that there's no valid encoding information for the font(s) in
the PDF file.

I don't know a free tool to do this. I would do it with Adobe Acrobat: copy the

Hello all,
many of you are using iText or iTextSharp.
About 10,000 of you have bought a copy of "iText in Action",
the first book about iText, published about 3 years ago.
I want to thank you for that.
At the same time, I want to inform you that I'm currently
working on a second book: "iText in Action - 2nd Edition"

This is got me; I created a Courier New 12pt font document in Word,
converted it to a pdf file and the newly created pdf file displayed as
Courier New 12 pt text.
If you would like, send me a sample of a Word Courier New 12pt font file and
I'll create a pdf file and send it back to you.

Don,
Thanks! Yes, stupidly I had the pdf reader set up to default to US page
dimensions.
Unfortunately, changing that hasn't solved the problem: even with the proper
A4 setting and no page scaling, a print out from the PDF file is *still*
reduced in size.
