Text with custom/embedded fonts appears as blank space using PDFRenderer on Android API 23,24,25. On Android 26 text is displayed, but fonts are not displayed correctly. Works only on API 21. Looks like a bug in PDFRenderer.

Any updates on this? I am having the same issue.

Is there any update on this or any workaround to load PDF with custom fonts in PDFRenderer?

I had to switch to this library so I can properly render pdf, https://github.com/TomRoush/PdfBox-Android. It is much slower although. It would be great to have custom fonts working with PdfRenderer
