使用pdfbox以印地语字体以PDF格式编写文本

Question

I want to write text in hindi font in pdf using pdf box. Can anyone help.

I am trying to write code like this.

PDDocument doc = new PDDocument();    
PDPage page = new PDPage();   
doc.addPage(page);   
PDFont font = PDTrueTypeFont.loadTTF( doc, new File("c:\\shusha.ttf"));   
font.setFontEncoding(new WinAnsiEncoding());   
PDPageContentStream content = new PDPageContentStream( doc, page, true, false );   
content.setFont(font, 15);   
content.beginText();

content.moveTextPositionByAmount( 200, 100 );   
content.drawString( "Aamarsa" );   
content.endText();   
content.close();   
doc.save( new FileOutputStream(new File("c:\\testOutput.pdf")));   
doc.close();

Later I also tried to add encoding, but is not useful. I could not find any encoding class which supports UTF-8 in PDFBox.

Answer 1

Here i tried this, and got something what you want, use the same code,

simply download the PDTrueTypeFont.java (from pdfbox-1.8.2-src.jar) file and include into your project, then modify the condition

before,

int platformEncoding = cmaps[i].getPlatformEncodingId();
                    if ( CMAPTable.ENCODING_UNICODE == platformEncoding)

modified,

int platformEncoding = cmaps[i].getPlatformEncodingId();
                    if ( CMAPTable.ENCODING_UNICODE == platformEncoding ||
                         CMAPTable.ENCODING_SYMBOL == platformEncoding)

because, this class not supporting the ENCODING_SYMBOL. so only you are not able to create the pdf with different fonts.

Don't include the PDTrueTypeFont from the package pdfbox. Use from your local package.
