public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SimpleTest s = new SimpleTest();
s.pdfGeneration();
}
public void pdfGeneration() throws IOException {
String outputFileName = "Simple123.pdf";
// Create a document and add a page to it
PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
PDPage page1 = new PDPage(PDRectangle.A4);
// PDRectangle.LETTER and others are also possible
PDRectangle rect = page1.getMediaBox();
// rect can be used to get the page width and height
document.addPage(page1);
// Create a new font object selecting one of the PDF base fonts
PDFont fontPlain = PDType1Font.HELVETICA;
PDFont fontBold = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD;
PDFont fontItalic = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_OBLIQUE;
PDFont fontMono = PDType1Font.COURIER;
// Start a new content stream which will "hold" the to be
created
// content
PDPageContentStream cos = new PDPageContentStream(document,
page1);
int line = 0;
List<String> sampleData = new ArrayList<String>();
sampleData.add("ss1 s");
sampleData.add("dd α");
// String tt ="sss";
for (String tt : sampleData) {
++line;
drawText(cos, fontPlain, tt, rect, line);
}
cos.close();
document.save(outputFileName);
document.close();
}
public void drawText(PDPageContentStream cos, PDFont fontPlain,String
text,
PDRectangle rect, int line) throws IOException {
try {
cos.beginText();
cos.setFont(fontPlain, 12);
cos.newLineAtOffset(100, rect.getHeight() - 50 *
