Re: IllegalArgumentException when using PDType1Font.HELVETICA
Thanks for explaining! Using a Helvetica.ttf file I was able to solve the error about 8-bit code points. Apparently the PDType1Font.HELVETICA does not include all characters that are supported by Helvectica. The new line is now handled before calling showText().

If there’s an appearance stream (AP) for the field then that will take precedence over the Contents. If there’s not, then it’s always possible that the Contents is using glyphs which are missing in the font. PDF doesn’t understand newlines anyway, so an LF character in the text would need to be handled at some higher level than showText(). Indeed, LF is not even present in WinAnsiEncoding which is why you’re seeing an error when using PDType1Font.HELVETICA. — John > > Johanneke Lamberink > > Onior Group B.V. > Jan Pieterszoon Coenstraat 7 > 2595 WP Den Haag > The Netherlands > Office: +31 70 799 94 85 Mobile: + 31 6 23 76 76 45 > > > > > > > Op 27/5/15 12:28 schreef Andreas Lehmkühler : > >> Hi, >> >>> Johanneke Lamberink hat am 27.

Re: IllegalArgumentException when using PDType1Font.HELVETICA
Hi, The string with the U+000A (LF) is retrieved by calling PDAnnotation.getContents(). I expected to be able to use the String returned by that method in PDPageContentStream.showText(), but apparently that is not the case. Thanks. Johanneke Lamberink Onior Group B.V.

IllegalArgumentException when using PDType1Font.HELVETICA
Hi, When writing a given String to a PDF I am encountering the following stacktraces in the logging: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No glyph for U+000A in font Helvetica at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font.encode(PDType1Font.java:320) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont.encode(PDFont.java:282) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPageContentStream.showText(PDPageContentStream.java:358) and: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: This font type only supports 8-bit code points at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font.encode(PDType1Font.java:311) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont.encode(PDFont.java:282) at org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont.getStringWidth(PDFont.java:311) I am not sure if this is a problem in my choice of font, my use of the api, or the encoding done by pdfbox. Can anyone explain to me what it is that is going wrong here? Thanks :) Johanneke Lamberink
