PDPageContentStream.drawString() doesn't work with all PDFs
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-854
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-854
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: PDModel
Affects Versions: 1.3.0
Environment: JDK 1.6.0_21
Reporter: MH
I add custom text to misc exsiting PDF files. Now I wondered why my text
doesn't appear for a specific PDF. It is not encrypted, has the same page size
and adding Text with iText 2.1.7 works as expected. My code to add text is:
----------------------------------
final PDPage page = (PDPage) allPages.get(i);
final PDPageContentStream contentStream = new
PDPageContentStream(doc, page, true, false);
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.setFont(font, sizeOfFont);
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(xf, yf);
contentStream.drawString(text);
contentStream.endText();
contentStream.close();
---------------------------------
I tried to find differences between this PDF and other PDFs. What I noticed:
the PDF where I can't see the text has a PDF-Version "1.3" and was created by
"AFPL Ghostscript 8.54". Is there some known issue with PDFBox and such "older"
PDF formats?
