PDF/A PdfXConformanceException All the fonts must be embedded. This one isn't: Helvetica

[Otto Hahn]

I'm using JasperReports Studio 6.3.1 and for coding jasperreports-6.3.1.jar, jasperreports-font.6.3.1.jar, itext-2.1.7.js5.jar

I tried to export a very simple report to PDF/A, witch is only using DejaVu Sans Font from the library.

The Preview looks like this:

I get this Exeption:

If I export the Report without this line:

exporterConfiguration.setPdfaConformance(PdfaConformanceEnum.PDFA_1A);[/code]

I can see the unembedded Helvetica Font:

 

I don't need or use this font in my report. How can I turn off this.

I am amazed that no one is answering this specific question.
So I try it myself:

create a jasperreports.properties file in the root path of the project:

# loads/override properties from default.jasperreports.propertiesnet.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.font.name=net/sf/jasperreports/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttfnet.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.embedded=true[/code]

 or change the default font by adding this Method and call it before export to PDF/A:

public void setDefaultPdfFontEmbedded() {    JasperReportsContext jasperReportsContext = DefaultJasperReportsContext.getInstance();    jasperReportsContext.setProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.font.name", "net/sf/jasperreports/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf");    jasperReportsContext.setProperty("net.sf.jasperreports.default.pdf.embedded", "true");}[/code]

Please correct me if this is not true!
