Hi,
I'd like to know how I can reuse a font that is used in a template pdf (after adding the PdfImportedPage)
Based on a previous reply from Paulo you have to use PdfStamper. I was able to get it to work using the following code.
-= Mat
void copyTemplateAndWriteText() { // copy template PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(TEMPLATE_FILE.getAbsolutePath()); PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, OUTPUT_STREAM);
// add new text PdfContentByte content = stamper.getOverContent(PAGE_NUM); BaseFont font = findfont(FONT_NAME, reader, PAGE_NUM); assert font != null; "font not found in template: " + FONT_NAME; content.beginText(); content.setFontAndSize(font, TYPESIZE); content.setTextMatrix(X, Y); content.showText(TEXT); content.endText(); }
static BaseFont findfont(String fontName, PdfReader reader, int pageNum)
{
BaseFont result = null;
PdfDictionary pages = (PdfDictionary) PdfReader.getPdfObject(reader.getCatalog().get(PdfName.PAGES));
PdfArray kids = (PdfArray) PdfReader.getPdfObject(pages.get(PdfName.KIDS));
PdfDictionary pageDictionary = (PdfDictionary) PdfReader.getPdfObject((PdfObject) kids.getArrayList().get(pageNum - 1));
PdfDictionary pageResourcesDict = (PdfDictionary) PdfReader.getPdfObject(pageDictionary.get(PdfName.RESOURCES));
PdfDictionary pageFontsDict = (PdfDictionary) PdfReader.getPdfObject(pageResourcesDict.get(PdfName.FONT));
if (pageFontsDict != null)
{
Set pageFontNames = pageFontsDict.getKeys();
for (Iterator iter = pageFontNames.iterator(); iter.hasNext();)
{
PdfName internalFontName = (PdfName) iter.next();
PdfDictionary fontDict = (PdfDictionary) PdfReader.getPdfObject(pageFontsDict.get(internalFontName));
PdfName baseFontName = (PdfName) PdfReader.getPdfObject(fontDict.get(PdfName.BASEFONT));
// compare names, ignoring the initial '/' in the baseFontName
if (fontName.regionMatches(0, baseFontName.toString(), 1, fontName.length()))
{
PRIndirectReference iRef = (PRIndirectReference) pageFontsDict.get(internalFontName);
if (iRef != null)
{
result = BaseFont.createFont(iRef);
}
}
}
}
return result;
}
