Thanks for the response, Below is what I am trying to do.
We have some secured "TROY" fonts which cannot be installed on the PC , it will be installed only on the printer. For example if we send "abc" as text while creating the pdf and specify that "abc" is the "TROY" font and send it to the printer , it will be able to decode "abc" to signature and print it. But if we view the pdf it will still say "abc" because the "TROY" font is not installed in the PC. That's the solution we are trying to achieve. Now the problem we are facing is when we create the PDF, we are not able to specify the text "abc" as TROY font because it's not installed in the PC. BaseFont secureFont = BaseFont.createFont("secure Font",BaseFont.SYMBOL, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED,false); pdfContentByte.setFontAndSize(micrFont, 14); pdfContentByte.setTextMatrix(100, 100) ; pdfContentByte.showText("abc"); In the above code "createFont" method we are not able to specify just the secured font name and proceed. It throws error. It requires the ttf file or other file needs to be present in the pc or in the classpath. Please provide us some solution whether we can achieve this with out registering the secured font in the PC. We are not worried if the actual pdf contains the text "abc".
