Hi, I have upgraded to the latest JAR file which I downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/ I am aware of the fact that the afm file is in the fonts directory. I have seen this issue before using iText2.1.4. The font file was present and yet I was getting this error. I know this is a java jar file, what I was trying to get at is my code base is javascript and I am using this jar. Regardless, I have seen this issue posted multiple times with no clear resolution? My question is why do all jar builds have this issue, if the jar was built correctly in the first place? What is the correct resolution To this fix this problem?

There's no JavaScript involved. What you should below is a Java error. NOT a JavaScript error. > Internal Script error: ExceptionConverter: > com.lowagie.text.DocumentException: Helvetica not found as resource. > (The *.afm files must exist as resources in the package > com.lowagie.text.pdf.fonts) > > Does anyone know why this issue happens and what is the best way to fix it? This is not an issue with the official iText. It only happens when the files shown in the screenshot are missing from the jar. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info NOTICE - This communication is intended ONLY for the use of the person or entity named above and may contain information that is confidential or legally privileged.
