Replacing Missing Fonts in PDF to PDFA Conversion

In PDF to PDFA conversion, sometimes fonts are neither embedded in the source PDF document and nor available on the machine, so it is required to replace missing fonts with some alternative fonts. We can substitute missing fonts as following.

Aspose.Pdf.Text.Font originalFont = null;
try
{
originalFont = FontRepository.FindFont("AgencyFB");
}
catch (Exception)
{
//Font is missing on destination machine
FontRepository.Substitutions.Add(new SimpleFontSubstitution("AgencyFB", "Arial"));
}
var fiNew = new FileInfo("newfile.pdf");
var pdf = new Document("myfile.pdf");
pdf.Convert("convertlog.xml", PdfFormat.PDF_A_1B, ConvertErrorAction.Delete);
pdf.Save(fiNew.FullName);
