Re: Printing non english characters in a PDF with PDFBox 1.8.10
Then don't use that character.
Looking further, you used a stardard 14 font. These have only 255 (or
even less) characters. That is why I told you to look at the examples.
See here at EmbeddedFonts.java:
String dir =
"../pdfbox/src/main/resources/org/apache/pdfbox/resources/ttf/";
PDType0Font font = PDType0Font.load(document, new File(dir +
"LiberationSans-Regular.ttf"));
PDPageContentStream stream = new PDPageContentStream(document,
page);
stream.beginText();
stream.setFont(font, 12);
stream.setLeading(12 * 1.2);
stream.newLineAtOffset(50, 600);
stream.showText("PDFBox's Unicode with Embedded TrueType Font");
stream.newLine();
stream.showText("Supports full Unicode text ☺");
stream.newLine();
stream.showText("English русский язык Tiếng Việt");
stream.newLine();
// ligature
stream.showText("Ligatures: \uFB01lm \uFB02ood");
stream.endText();
stream.close();

Re: Bad text extraction result
I tried all the settings and was unsuccessful. I was unable to extract "Cada frasco ampolla" which looked pretty obvious, it always appeared as "Ca da fras co ampo lla". Then I looked into the content stream and found this: 6 0 1.058 6 122.0924 312.51 Tm (Ca) Tj /Span << /ActualText (\376\377\000\255) >> BDC ( ) Tj EMC [ (da ) -301 (fras) ] TJ /Span << /ActualText (\376\377\000\255) >> BDC ( ) Tj EMC [ (co ) -301 (ampo) ] TJ /Span << /ActualText (\376\377\000\255) >> BDC ( ) Tj EMC [ (lla ) -301 (con) ] TJ So there are really spaces there, and we keep them. Adobe is smarter, and ignores them because they are overwritten thanks to the "-301" you see (that is a positioning). This /ActualText thing might be of some help, but I don't think we process this.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation
I ended up with a transformation that I applied to the coordinates of my unrotated annotation.
Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation
Did you create a generic converter, or did you just hard-code the results you got from manually rotating the page? I'm sure it's possible to abstract this transformation to a formula that could be applied to the quads to rotate them so that they fit the page's rotation. I just can't seem to figure it out... I actually think that the Matrix2D object in Acrobat's JavaScript does that, but it's too opaque for me to figure out how it works, exactly. I can post the source code for it, if anyone is interested.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation
I came up with a solution for such a problem in a previous job (which means I don't have access to the code anymore). The process I used was to create test documents in all rotations, with annotations in all four rotations in Adobe Acrobat. I then analyzed the files and came up with a transformation for every case. I then just used a switch statement for the four different page rotations to place my annotation in the correct spot.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation
It's a highlight. Let me give you the background. I'm using a variation on PrintTextLocation to find the locations I want to highlight and then add them. As I wrote, it works very well in pages with zero rotation, but the results are skewed when the pages are rotated. What I mean by skewed is that they appear on the location of the page where the text would have have been had it not been rotated, if that makes sense. I'll try to set up a simple example that demonstrates this issue and share it.

Re: Rotating a new annotation to match the page's rotation
Hi, what type of annotation are you trying to put on the page. I could create a little sample placing an annotation at the (visual) upper left corner of a portrait and landscape page.

I'm not an annotation expert, but according to the spec both the Rect and the QuadPoints values are specified in default user space which doesn't include any rotation or scaling. But I have no clue where to put these information instead. Can you create a sample pdf with such an annotation using acrobat or something similar so that we can have a look how it looks like? > > Gilad BR Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@pdfbox.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@pdfbox.apache.org
