Hello,
I am trying to right align a free text annotation using PDFBox 3.0.1 but
the annotation only becomes left aligned in read mode in the final pdf.
However, if I tried to edit it using acrobat reader, edit mode shows the
right alignment. I think this is because the edit mode renders RC content.
Can you help me to figure out the issue?
package com.folia.pdf.export.lib;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.common.PDRectangle;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.annotation.*;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.form.PDVariableText;
import java.io.IOException;
public class TextAnnotation {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try (PDDocument document = new PDDocument()) {
// Add a new page
PDPage page = new PDPage();
document.addPage(page);
// Define the rectangle area where the annotation will appear
PDRectangle rect = new PDRectangle(100, 600, 200, 50);
// Create a FreeText annotation
PDAnnotationFreeText freeText = new PDAnnotationFreeText();
freeText.setRectangle(rect);
String content = "Your styled text here";
freeText.setContents(content);
freeText.setDefaultAppearance("/Helv 20 Tf 1 0 0 rg");
String richContent = "<body
xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\";>" +
"<p
style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:20pt;color:#FF0000;text-align:right;\">"
+
content + "</p></body>";
freeText.setRichContents(richContent);
freeText.setQ(PDVariableText.QUADDING_RIGHT);
freeText.getCOSObject().setNeedToBeUpdated(true);
freeText.constructAppearances();
page.getAnnotations().add(freeText);
document.save("output.pdf");
System.out.println("FreeText annotation created successfully.");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Thanks
Dimuthu
