Re: [iText-questions] XML To PDF

[jones henry]

Bruno,

I tried the iText XML by handcoding it. It seems it is not generating the 
PDF to use any other font except the default one. I used the following input 
xml and program.

[code]
test.java
------------
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.lowagie.text.xml.*;
public class test
{
   public static void main( String[] args )
   {
       Document document = new Document();
       try
       {
           PdfWriter.getInstance( document, new FileOutputStream( 
"test.pdf" ) );
           SAXParser parser = 
SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
           parser.parse( "test.xml", new SAXiTextHandler( document ) );
       }
       catch ( Exception e )
       {
           System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
       }
   }
}

test.xml
-----------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE ITEXT SYSTEM "http://itext.sourceforge.net/itext.dtd";>
<itext creationdate="Fri Jan 23 12:22:29 MST 2004" producer="iTextXML by 
lowagie.com">
   <paragraph leading="12.0" size="10.0" align="Default">
       <chunk size="10.0">Testing default font</chunk>
   </paragraph>
   <paragraph leading="12.0" font-family="Courier" size="10.0"

       <chunk font-family="Courier" size="10.0">Testing Courier 
font</chunk>
   </paragraph>
   <paragraph leading="12.0" font-family="Lucida Console" size="10.0" 
align="Default">
       <chunk font-family="Lucida Console" size="10.0">Testing Lucida 
Console font</chunk>
   </paragraph>
   <paragraph leading="12.0" font-family="Verdana" size="10.0" 
align="Default">
       <chunk font-family="Verdana" size="10.0">Testing Verdana 
font</chunk>
   </paragraph>
   <paragraph leading="12.0" font-family="TSC_Avarangal" size="10.0" 
align="Default">
       <chunk font-family="TSC_Avarangal" size="10.0">Testing TSC_Avarangal 
font: §ƒ¡ýŠ ¦†ýÈ¢
       </chunk>
   </paragraph>
</itext>
[/code]

Christian,

I tried your package as well. Initially I tried your 
/test/print/font-test.xml and it worked fine. But when I used the following 
xml file, the generated PDF did not show the text using the font mentioned. 
It failed for Lucida Console, Verdana and TSC_Aravarangal.

[code]
t1.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<document size="A4" margin-left="25" margin-right="25" margin-top="25" 
margin-bottom="25">
	<paragraph>
		Default font.
	</paragraph>
	<paragraph>
		<font family="Courier" style="normal" size="14">
			Testing Courier font
		</font>
	</paragraph>
	<paragraph>
		<font family="Lucida Console" style="normal" size="14">
			Testing Lucida Console font
		</font>
	</paragraph>
	<paragraph>
		<font family="Verdana" style="normal" size="14">
			Testing Verdana font
		</font>
	</paragraph>
	<paragraph>
		<font family="TSC_Avarangal" style="normal" size="14">
			Testing TSC_Avarangal font - §ƒ¡ýŠ ¦†ýÈ¢
		</font>
	</paragraph>
</document>
[/code]

This leads to me believe that there is somewhere some problem with either 
embedding the font in the PDF or linking the font with text in the PDF.

The following code works without a problem.

[code]
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.lowagie.text.xml.*;
public class test2
{
   public static void main( String[] args )
   {
       Document document = new Document();
       try
       {
           PdfWriter.getInstance( document, new FileOutputStream( 
"test2.pdf" ) );
           document.open();
           BaseFont baseFont = BaseFont.createFont( 
"c:\\winnt\\fonts\\tscava.ttf", BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED );
           Font font = new Font( baseFont, 8 );
           String text1 = "Testing the default font.";
           String text2 = "Testing TSC_Avarangal: §ƒ¡ýŠ ¦†ýÈ¢";
           document.add( new Paragraph( text1 ) );
           document.add( new Paragraph( text2, font ) );
       }
       catch ( DocumentException de )
       {
           System.err.println( de.getMessage() );
       }
       catch ( IOException ioe )
       {
           System.err.println( ioe.getMessage() );
       }
       document.close();
   }
}
[/code]

If you have time to look into this issue, please do so and let me know your 
feedback regarding this.

Thanks,
Jones.
