title: Can text in a PDF be converted to an image, rendered as custom font?
body: <p>Some facts:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I have a licensed font that cannot be embedded in the PDF I have created.</li>
  <li>The only text in the PDF is found in editable form fields. These fields' 'font' property is set to the licensed font.</li>
  <li><p>I am programmatically filling in these form fields with a dynamically generated <code>.fdf</code> file using <code>pdftk</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>pdftk infile.pdf fill_form data.fdf output outfile.pdf flatten
  </code></pre></li>
  <li>The <code>flatten</code> argument causes the form fields in the PDF to be converted to non-editable text.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a way to get this text to display in the licensed font without actually embedding the font in the PDF.</p>
  
  <p>I have installed the font on the server that is generating the PDF. <strong>Is there a way to, for example, convert the text while displayed in the licensed font-face, to a static/flattened image?</strong></p>
