I upgraded to 2.0.19 and switched to DrawPrintTextLocations. Unfortunately the font I'm using prints the statement : Unknown font class: class org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font
I tried again with a true type font which should parse as PDCIDFontType2, and receive java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.pdfbox.examples.util.DrawPrintTextLocations.showGlyph(DrawPrintTextLocations.java:132) ... which takes me to line 83 : cyanShape = this.flipAT.createTransformedShape(cyanShape); On Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 10:19 PM Tilman Hausherr <thaush...@t-online.de> wrote: > Hi, > Please retry with the current version, which is PDFBox 2.0.18, soon 2.0.19. > Then use the DrawPrintTextLocations.java example to see if the cyan bounds > are correct.
