Determine what glyphs in a given font are used in the requested document.•
Create a new version of the font that contains only the glyphs for the characters ref-•

Adobe Acrobat, as a medium for creating, displaying, and printing PDF les, also sup-

Printer Description (PPD) les were absolutely necessary.
PPDs contain the printer’s conguration information in a convenient (and local) form
that can be easily understood (that is, parsed) by printer drivers. PPDs are, in general,
