title: How can I extract embedded fonts from a PDF as valid font files?
body: <p>I'm aware of the <code>pdftk.exe</code> utility that can indicate which fonts are used by a PDF, and wether they are embedded or not.</p>
  
  <p>Now the problem: given I had PDF files with embedded fonts -- how can I extract those fonts in a way that they are re-usable as regular font files? Are there (preferably free) tools which can do that? Also: can this be done programmatically with, say, iText?</p>
