I am generating pdf report with few inputs like font name, font size. I tried to create a font using below code.
Font font = new Font(FontFamily.TIMES_ROMAN,50.0f,Font.UNDERLINE,BaseColor.RED);
Here, how pass font name that is TIMES_ROMAN as a string?
Here's a quick way on how you can achieve the desired behavior with iText 7:
final PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(new PdfWriter(DEST));
PdfFont font = PdfFontFactory.createFont(FontProgramFactory.createFont(StandardFonts.TIMES_ROMAN));
Style myStyle = new Style()
.setFontSize(50)
.setUnderline()
.setFontColor(RED)
.setFont(font);
try (final Document document = new Document(pdfDocument)) {
document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World!").addStyle(myStyle));
document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World!").setFont(font)
.setFontSize(50)
.setUnderline()
.setFontColor(RED));
}
You can also define the font on a Document level (I'm showing Style and directly on the Paragraph).

I am trying to create a PDF/UA compliant file that contains a text hyperlink with iText 7. Both the Acrobat Preflight test for PDF/UA and the PDF Accessibility Checker (PAC 3) complain that the PDF file say that the PDF is not compliant.
PAC 3 says ""Link" annotation is not nested inside a "Link" structure element" and the Acrobat Preflight test says the Link annotation does not have an alternate description in the Contents key.
The following is my attempt to create PDF/UA compliant output that contains a text hyperlink.
Any advice would be appreciated.
public void testHyperLink() throws IOException {
// Create PDF/UA with text hyperlink
String filename = "./results/HyperLink.pdf";
WriterProperties properties = new WriterProperties();
properties.addUAXmpMetadata().setPdfVersion(PdfVersion.PDF_1_7);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(filename, properties);
pdfDoc = new PdfDocument(writer);
//Make document tagged
pdfDoc.setTagged();
pdfDoc.getCatalog().setLang(new PdfString("en-US"));
pdfDoc.getCatalog().setViewerPreferences(new PdfViewerPreferences().setDisplayDocTitle(true));
PdfDocumentInfo info = pdfDoc.getDocumentInfo();
info.setTitle("Hello Hyperlinks!");
document = new Document(pdfDoc);
// Must embed font for PDF/UA
byte[] inputBytes = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("./resources/fonts/opensans-regular.ttf"));
boolean embedded = true;
boolean cached = false;
PdfFont font = PdfFontFactory.createFont(inputBytes, PdfEncodings.CP1252, embedded, cached);
Text text = new Text("This is a Text link");
text.setFont(font);
text.setFontSize(16F);
// Add alternate text for hyperlink
text.getAccessibilityProperties().setAlternateDescription("Click here to go to the iText website");
PdfAction act = PdfAction.createURI("https://itextpdf.com/");
text.setAction(act);
Paragraph para = new Paragraph();
para.add(text);
document.add(para);
document.close();
System.out.println("Created "+ filename);
}
A Link object might be what you want:
Link lnk = new Link("This is a Text link",
PdfAction.CreateURI("https://itextpdf.com/"));
lnk.SetFont(font);
lnk.GetLinkAnnotation().SetBorder(new PdfAnnotationBorder(0, 0, 0));//Remove the default border
lnk.GetAccessibilityProperties().SetAlternateDescription("Click here to go to the iText website");
Paragraph para = new Paragraph();
para.Add(lnk);
document.Add(para);
I am now trying to modify a PDF file with ONLY text content. When I use
TextRenderInfo.getFont()
it returns me a Font which is actually an indirect object.
pdf.inderect.object.belong.to.other.pdf.document.Copy.object.to.current.pdf.document
would be thrown in this case when close the PdfDocument.
Is there a way to let me reuse this Font in a new PDF file? OR, is there a way to in-place edit the text content in PDF (without changing the font, color, fontSize)?
I'm using itext7.
Thanks
First of all, from the error message I see that you are not using the latest version of iText, which is 7.0.2 at the moment. So I recommend that you update your iText version.
Secondly, it is indeed possible to use a font in another document. But to do that, you first have to copy the corresponding font object to that other document (as stated in the exception message by the way). But you should be warned that this approach has some limitations, e.g. in case of a font subset, you will only be able to use the glyphs that are present in the original font subset in the source document and will not be able to use other glyphs.
PdfFont font = textRenderInfo.getFont(); // font from source document
PdfDocument newPdfDoc = ... // new PdfDocument you want to write some text to
// copy the font dictionary to the new document
PdfDictionary fontCopy = font.getPdfObject().copyTo(newPdfDoc);
// create a PdfFont instance corresponding to the font in the new document
PdfFont newFont = PdfFontFactory.createFont(fontCopy);
// Use newFont in newPdfDoc, e.g.:
Document doc = new Document(newPdfDoc);
doc.add(new Paragraph("Hello").setFont(newFont));
I have a rich text box named:”DocumentContent” which I’m going to add its content to pdf using the below code:
iTextSharp.text.Font font = FontFactory.GetFont(#"C:\Windows\Fonts\arial.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 12f, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK);
DocumentContent = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(DocumentContent);
Chunk chunkContent = new Chunk(DocumentContent);
chunkContent.Font = font;
Phrase PhraseContent = new Phrase(chunkContent);
PhraseContent.Font = font;
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
table.WidthPercentage = 100;
PdfPCell cell;
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(PhraseContent));
cell.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
table.AddCell(cell);
The problem is when I open PDF file the content appears as HTML not a text as below:
<p>Overview line1 </p><p>Overview line2
</p><p>Overview line3 </p><p>Overview
line4</p><p>Overview line4</p><p>Overview
line5 </p>
But it should look like below
Overview line1
Overview line2
Overview line3
Overview line4
Overview line4
Overview line5
What I'm going to do is to keep all the styling which user apply to the rich text and just change font family to Arial.
I can change Font Family but I need to Decode this content from HTML to Text.
Could you please advise?
Thanks
Please take a look at the HtmlContentForCell example.
In this example, we have the HTML you mention:
public static final String HTML = "<p>Overview line1</p>"
+ "<p>Overview line2</p><p>Overview line3</p>"
+ "<p>Overview line4</p><p>Overview line4</p>"
+ "<p>Overview line5 </p>";
We also create a font for the <p> tag:
public static final String CSS = "p { font-family: Cardo; }";
In your case, you may want to replace Cardo with Arial.
Note that we registered the regular version of the Cardo font:
FontFactory.register("resources/fonts/Cardo-Regular.ttf");
If you need bold, italic and bold-italic, you also need to register those fonts of the same Cardo family. (In case of arial, you'd register arial.ttf, arialbd.ttf, ariali.ttf and arialbi.ttf).
Now we can parse this HTML and CSS into a list of Element objects with the parseToElementList() method. We can use these objects inside a cell:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
table.addCell("Some rich text:");
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
for (Element e : XMLWorkerHelper.parseToElementList(HTML, CSS)) {
cell.addElement(e);
}
table.addCell(cell);
document.add(table);
See html_in_cell.pdf for the resulting PDF.
I do not have the time/skills to provide this example in iTextSharp, but it should be very easy to port this to C#.
Finally I write this code in c# which is working perfectly, Thanks to Bruno who helped me to understand XMLWorker.
Here is an example using XMLWorker in C#.
I used a sample HTML as below:
public static string HTML = "<p>Overview line1âââŵẅẃŷûâàêÿýỳîïíìôöóòêëéèẁẃẅŵùúúüûàáäâ</p>"
+ "<p>Overview line2</p><p>Overview line3</p>"
+ "<p>Overview line4</p><p>Overview line4</p>"
+ "<p>Overview line5 </p>";
I have created Test.css file and saved it in SharePoint Style Library. (for this test I saved it in D drive to keep it simple)
Here is the content of my test css file:
p { font-family: arial; }
Then using the below c# code I saved the PDF file in D drive. ( In SharePoint I used Memorystream. I keep this example very simple to understand )
string fileName = #"D:\Test.pdf";
var css = #"D:\Test.css";
using (var ActionStream = new MemoryStream(UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(HTML)))
{
using (FileStream cssFile = new FileStream(css, FileMode.Open))
{
var document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 30, 30, 10, 10);
var worker = XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance();
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create));
document.Open();
worker.ParseXHtml(writer, document, ActionStream, cssFile);
writer.CloseStream = false;
document.Close();
}
}
It creates Test.pdf file adding my HTML with Font Family:Arial. So all of the Welsh Characters can be saved in PDF file.
Note: I have added iTextSharp.dll v:5.5.3 and XMLworker.dll v: 5.5.3 to my project.
using iTextSharp.text;

I’m using iText 2.1.7, included through the following dependency …
<dependency>

<artifactId>itext</artifactId>
<version>2.1.7</version>
</dependency>
How do I change the text size of a PDF field in a PDF I’m trying to export? I created a PDF template using OpenOffice 4.1.0 and then have tried this code to set the text size:
final PdfReader pdfTemplate = new PdfReader(pdfTemplateFile.toString());
// Prepare to generate a byte output stream
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(pdfTemplate, out);
stamper.setFormFlattening(true);
…
stamper.getAcroFields().setField(PARTICIPANT_FIELD_NAME, user.getFirstName() + " " + user.getLastName());
stamper.getAcroFields().setFieldProperty(PARTICIPANT_FIELD_NAME, "textsize", new Float(36), null);
final BaseFont font = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
stamper.getAcroFields().setFieldProperty(PARTICIPANT_FIELD_NAME, "textfont", font, null);
No matter what value I put in between “new Float(xxx)”, the font size is always rendered the same. Where am I going wrong?
The appearance of the field is generated at the moment you set the field with the setField() method. This means that you're doing things in the wrong order. Change your code like this:
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
form.setFieldProperty(PARTICIPANT_FIELD_NAME, "textsize", new Float(36), null);
final BaseFont font = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
form.setFieldProperty(PARTICIPANT_FIELD_NAME, "textfont", font, null);
form.setField(PARTICIPANT_FIELD_NAME, user.getFirstName() + " " + user.getLastName());
As for your use of iText 2.1.7, obviously that's not a good idea, but we'd like to know why you prefer using obsolete software, so we've hired Black Duck Software to help us with this survey.
I want to write line by line on a pdf document
the code I have is writing the text in the center of the page
how can I write line by line?
// Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
document.Info.Title = "Created with PDFsharp";
// Create an empty page
PdfPage page = document.AddPage();
// Get an XGraphics object for drawing
XGraphics gfx = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(page);
// Create a font
XFont font = new XFont("Verdana", 20, XFontStyle.BoldItalic);
// Draw the text
gfx.DrawString("Hello, World!", font, XBrushes.Black,
new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height),
XStringFormats.TopCenter);
With new XRect(0, 0, page.Width, page.Height) you specify where text will be drawn.
Use a smaller rectangle and increase the second value from line to line.
PDFsharp includes several examples:

Especially check Text Layout. Sample code included with the source package of PDFsharp.
Also check out MigraDoc as it adds pagebreaks automatically.
