Getting font size of letters
Hello ,
In this PDF sample:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9kpm0jmb6h3mrhy/Font%20Size%20Sample.pdf?dl=0
When it try to get the font sizefor any letter it always returns 1.0, using
this code:
public class PDFTextStripperExtender extends PDFTextStripper {
@Override
public void processTextPosition( TextPosition text ) {
System.out.println( "- " + text + ": Font Size: " +
text.getFontSize();
}
}
I've also tried "text.getFontSizeInPt()". It returns better values, but
they're not right when compared to Adobe Acrobat font size values.
What's the reason for that? And can I get the real size of fonts for each
letter somehow?
Best regards,
Hesham

RE: Getting font size of letters

Dear Tilman,
Thank you for this. I have tried the DrawPrintTextLocations.java example on
3 PDFs, and I see that the best way to get the display font size for letters
in any PDF is by using "text.getXScale()". Am I right?
I have tried this on the 3 PDFs and it returned right results.
Best regards,
Hesham

The font size is really 1. There are other things that influence the display
size, see the javadoc of getFontSizeInPt(). See also the
DrawPrintTextLocations.java example.

The font size is really 1. There are other things that influence the
display size, see the javadoc of getFontSizeInPt(). See also the
