If the file uses embedded fonts, it contains all font data. GroupDocs.Viewer can subset embedded fonts to reduce the file size.

To subset fonts in a PDF file, use the setSubsetFonts method and set it to true.

The following code snippet shows how to subset fonts in a PDF file:

try (Viewer viewer = new Viewer("sample.docx")) {
    PdfViewOptions viewOptions = new PdfViewOptions();
    viewOptions.setPdfOptimizationOptions(new PdfOptimizationOptions());
    viewOptions.getPdfOptimizationOptions().setSubsetFonts(true);
     
    viewer.view(viewOptions);
}

The following image demonstrates the result. There is no difference in appearance:
