PDFBox National Charachters

[András Wirth <ag...@gmail.com>]

Dear Developers,

I have a question about the PDFbox.
I am a little bit frustrated, because I used the pdfbox to generate a PDF
document, but I can't display the Hungarian "ő" and "Ő" characters.
Actually I used the pdfbox1.8.10.

I read might this problem fixed, but I am not sure how to get this fixed
code to my workspace.

This is little bit important, because I would like to generate sitting
cards to my marriage party. :)
And we have three participants who have this charachter in they name.

Can somebody help me?

Bests,
Andras from Hungary

Hi,

This doesn't work with PDFBox 1.8. However it works for the unreleased 
2.0 version:
https://pdfbox.apache.org/downloads.html#scm
https://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/getting-started.html

and here's an example from the source code:

public class EmbeddedFonts
{
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
     {
         PDDocument document = new PDDocument();
         PDPage page = new PDPage(PDRectangle.A4);
         document.addPage(page);

         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.endText();
         stream.close();

         document.save("example.pdf");
         document.close();
     }
}
