PDFBox String Drawing
Hello Ben,
I write to you because you write lot of code with i have problems,
also please excuse my english is not good.
I want to send a PDF by Fax, in order to do that i need to convert the
pdf to image, by now i am using pdf-render library but it dosen't
render the image at good quality the the fax is poor.
I am looking in pdfbox a good alternative, because it works better,
but in my particular case isn't working.
I use iText 2.1.4 to generate some text on the PDF i need to send by
fax, when i try to use PDFToImage the final image don't contain any
text i write.
I have been debuggin last four hours the code of pdf, at the
begginning i got some problems relative with fonts because my linux
box dosen't have the font pdfbox was looking for (arial,
timesnewroman).
I got this stack for writting text
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font.drawString(PDType1Font.java:2xx)
//I modified other things
org.apache.pdfbox.pdfviewer.PageDrawer.processTextPosition(PageDrawer.java:174)
org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFStreamEngine.processEncodedText(PDFStreamEngine.java:446)
org.apache.pdfbox.util.operator.ShowText.process(ShowText.java:50)
org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFStreamEngine.processOperator(PDFStreamEngine.java:497)
org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFStreamEngine.processSubStream(PDFStreamEngine.java:217)
org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFStreamEngine.processStream(PDFStreamEngine.java:176)
org.apache.pdfbox.pdfviewer.PageDrawer.drawPage(PageDrawer.java:90)
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage.convertToImage(PDPage.java:669)
org.apache.pdfbox.util.PDFImageWriter.WriteImage(PDFImageWriter.java:86)
org.apache.pdfbox.PDFToImage.main(PDFToImage.java:165)
I find the way pdf box renders the image is first in
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage.convertToImage(PDPage.java:669) it
creates a new BufferedImage that will be the final image, with this
bufferedImage get the graphics an pass it to each other components
that in the end PageDrawer will be write on it.
I think the are some problems with this because i write to an image
BufferedImage retVal in
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage.convertToImage(PDPage.java:669) and
dosen't contains anything.
But i'm sure the
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font.drawString(PDType1Font.java:2xx)
is drawing the String rigth in the graphics that the method gets.
I really apreciate your time and ideas with this problem.
You can reproduce the problem using some pdf made with iText

Sebastian,
Are you using PDFBox 0.7.3? Andreas has fixed most of those font problems
in 0.8.0.
If 0.8.0 doesn't work for you either, please create an issue and attach one
of the PDF's with which you're having problems.
Thanks.
Daniel Wilson
