Can you show us your code that uses PDF::API2?

It should be a simple matter of changing or adding a font definition to your code.

You should have a font definition in you want to look something like:

my $doc = PDF::API2->new( -file => 'mypdf.pdf' );
my $page = $doc->page;
my $txt = $page->text;

my $font = $doc->corefont('OCR A',1); # this font name may be incorrec
+t.. 
$font->encode('latin1');

$txt->font($font,10);
$txt->lead(10);
$txt->text('Print to PDF file in the font set above');

# ....

I run the following code for testing. Basically it's same piece of code using OCR_A font.

It's giving me below error.

 

use PDF::API2;

my $doc = PDF::API2->new( -file => 'mypdf.pdf' );
my $page = $doc->page;
my $txt = $page->text;

my $font = $doc->corefont('OCR_A',1); # this font name may be incorrec
+t.. 
$font->encode('latin1');

$txt->font($font,10);
$txt->lead(10);
$txt->text('Print to PDF file in the font set above');
