[iText-questions] Displaying Japanese Text in PDF

[rajarshi biswas]

Hi !

 

I  am currently working with iText 1.1/iTextAsian to generate PDF for a Tree drawn in Java Swing.

I m facing problem in displaying Japanese Text in the Pdf.I have used iTextAsian for displaying CJK fonts , but its generating the PDF with no Japanese text,infact it comes as blank, english text is displaying fine

 

The code look like this :

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(fileName));            

document.open();

BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont("HeiseiMin-W3","UniJIS-UCS2-H", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);

com.lowagie.text.Font font = new com.lowagie.text.Font(bf, 11, com.lowagie.text.Font.NORMAL);                                                              DefaultFontMapper mapper = new DefaultFontMapper();                                                        Font foo=mapper.pdfToAwt(bf,10);

cb = writer.getDirectContent();                                                                            cb.saveState();                                                                                               cb.concatCTM(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0);                                                                             Graphics2D g2 = cb.createGraphics(1000,700);

drawBody(g2,foo);                                                                                                    g2.dispose();

And the method look like this:

 

 private void drawBody(Graphics2D g,foo) {

 

  g.setFont(foo);
  g.drawString(((String)header.elementAt(0)).replaceAll(":","").trim(),391,28);
  String s = ((String)header.elementAt(1)).replaceAll(":","").trim();
  g.drawString(s,391,40);
  s = ((String)header.elementAt(2)).replaceAll(":","").trim();
  g.drawString(s,427,28);
  s = ((String)header.elementAt(3)).replaceAll(":","").trim();
  g.drawString(s,427,40);
  s = ((String)header.elementAt(4)).replaceAll(":","").trim();
  g.drawString(s,475,28);
  s = ((String)header.elementAt(7)).replaceAll(":","").trim();
  g.drawString(s,475,40);
  s = ((String)header.elementAt(8)).replaceAll(":","").trim();
  g.drawString(s,529,28);
  s = ((String)header.elementAt(9)).replaceAll(":","").trim();
  g.drawString(s,529,40);
  s = ((String)header.elementAt(10)).replaceAll(":","").trim();
  g.drawString(s,583,28);
  s = ((String)header.elementAt(11)).replaceAll(":","").trim();
  g.drawString(s,583,40);
}

 

In this case it is not displaying the  Japanese text. Please suggest how can i get rid of the situation.

 

Best Regards

Rajarshi.
