Hello all.
I'm having a slight problem, which I'm hoping any of you might be able to
explain to me a bit. I have searched on Google and through the mail
archive, but I can't seem to find any leads...
Here's a small code fragment that produces the error "Illegal operation
'q' inside a text object." (obviously, it's an Acrobat Reader error):
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
int width = 300, height = 20, x = 40, y = 300;
DefaultFontMapper mapper = new DefaultFontMapper();
mapper.insertDirectory("c:\\winnt\\fonts");
PdfTemplate tp = contentByte.createTemplate(width, height);
tp.setWidth(width);
tp.setHeight(height);
java.awt.Graphics2D g2 = tp.createGraphics(width, height, mapper);
// draw things to g2
g2.setColor(java.awt.Color.green);
g2.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
g2.setColor(java.awt.Color.black);
g2.drawRect(0, 0, width, height);
g2.dispose();
contentByte.addTemplate(tp, x, pageSize.height() - (y + height));
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are some remarks:
* the code should draw a green bar, with a black border
(position x, y and dimensions width, height)
* "contentByte" is already available (all of the code compiles)
* whether or not I supply the "mapper" argument to 'createGraphics'
doesn't make any difference
* when I disable the code above entirely, the PDF will work just fine
(ie, there's more content: watermark, footer, logo, text)
* disabling all other content-generating code doesn't resolve the problem
* I'm developing on a NT4 machine
I don't know if any other details are required, if so please ask.
I'd appreciate it if anybody could tell me a bit more about the error
in the first place. It's too cryptic for me. :(
Thanks
Arno van der Kolk
