I know the problem is that gs can't find some resource. But this PDF
file can be opened by Adobe Acrobat Reader, and in Acrobat Reader's
installation directory there is indeed a sub directory named
"Resource", which contains the CIDFont,Cmap directorys used by Acrobat
Reader. So my question is, how can i tell GhostScript to make use of
Acrobat Reader's resource to process such pdf files containing CID
fonts?
Great Thanks!!!!!!

Downloaded the MS Japanese Office pack
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=24a66277-cd9f-4332-a6f1-52b85a6470bd&DisplayLang=en
The Chinese fonts were already installed (simsun.ttc)
read the manual ; http://ghostscript.com/doc/current/Use.htm#CIDFonts
then added these 2 lines to C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.62\lib\cidfmap
%Substituting CID font resource /Adobe-GB1 for /SimSun.
/SimSun << /FileType /TrueType /Path (C:/WINDOWS/fonts/simsun.ttc) /
SubfontID 0 /CSI [(GB1) 2] >> ;
%
%Substituting CID font resource /Adobe-Japan1 for /MS-PGothic.
/MS-PGothic << /FileType /TrueType /Path (C:/WINDOWS/fonts/
msgothic.ttc) /SubfontID 0 /CSI [(Japan1) 2] >> ;
so now I have a *super* PDF unlocker than can unlock PDFs with Chinese
and Japanese fonts as well. :-)
BTW, the .msi installer bundled "PDF unlocker" utility is nothing more
than an older version of gs with this .cmd
http://www.google.com.au/search?q=pdf+unlocker&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a
I just installed the current version of gs and copied the .cmd over to
C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.62\bin
8.62-unlockpdf.cmd
