            Bug ID: 103944
           Summary: FEature request: allow pdftocairo to embed fonts when
                    performing PDF to PS conversion
           Product: poppler
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: cairo backend
          Assignee: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: korobkin+lpad at gmail.com

I'm using wonderful pdftocairo on my printserver for PDF to PS level3
conversion, and from time to time I stumble upon PDFs that come with
non-embedded Type 1 fonts. 

$ pdffonts my.pdf
name                                 type              encoding         emb sub
uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- ---
--- ---------
Helvetica                            Type 1            WinAnsi          no  no 
no      17  0
Helvetica-Bold                       Type 1            WinAnsi          no  no 
no      18  0

pdftops embeds fonts on the fly, but has an option to pass font data as is.
pdftocairo doesn't embed fonts into PS, and doesn't have any relevant options.
I know can manually do something like 
pdftocairo -pdf my.pdf - | pdftocairo -ps -level3 - result.ps
and it will embed fonts, but that means custom filters for the CUPS server, and
double processing for the file. 

Could pdftocairo please have an option to embed fonts if asked to? It seems to
be capable of doing it, but doesn't have a way for PDF to PS conversion. 

Thanks!
