Thank you very much, Tilman.
Please, ignore my sentence about the empty file: I had an (unrelated) exception
is another point of my code. Sorry.
The font removal works (the code is at the end of this mail).
Now the viewer issues an error like:
Cannot find or create the font 'AAAEOG+ArialMT'.
And obviously the file isn't correctly displayed.
With iText I obtain /Encoding entries referring to /BaseFont /Helvetica, also
for the special characters outside the WinAnsi range, and the viewer correctly
opens the file.
I wonder if it's possible to manipulate the file with PDFBox, so that it refers
to Helvetica as well.
Thank you in advance,
Fabio

Your code looks good.
Does "clearAllFontDescriptors" have access to your current document object?
Does "the resulting file is empty" mean that the file is empty, or that the
display is blank?
I don't have further ideas without seeing more of the code, and maybe look at
the files with pdfdebugger ... maybe try removing "clearAllFontDescriptors" to
see whether there's a problem with your logic.
