> When trying to add a line to the existing PDF document with a table the table headers appear gibberish.
> the table header used to be PMITS Asset ID and after adding the header it reads as: 3 0 , 7 6 $ V V H W. some gibberish characters. Here is my code:
> // the document
> PDDocument doc = null;
> try
> {
> doc = PDDocument.load( file );
> List allPages = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
> //PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD;
> for( int i=0; i<allPages.size(); i++ )
> {
> PDPage page = (PDPage)allPages.get( i );
> PDRectangle pageSize = page.findMediaBox();
> PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page, true, true,true);
> PDFont font = PDType1Font.TIMES_ROMAN;
> float fontSize = 15.0f;
> contentStream.beginText();
> // set font and font size
> contentStream.setFont( font, fontSize);
> contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(700, 1150);
> contentStream.drawString( message);
> contentStream.endText();
> //contentStream.
> contentStream.close();}
> doc.save( outfile );
> }
> finally
> {
> if( doc != null )
> {
> doc.close();
> }
> }
> }
