How to write special characters in PDF using iText

How to write special characters encoded with UTF-8 in PDF using iText.
Regards,
Pandharinath.

I don't know what your problem is but that's almost certainly the wrong question to ask about it. Java (including iText) uses only Unicode characters. (You may consider some of them to be "special" if you like but Unicode doesn't.) And when it does that, they aren't encoded in UTF-8 or any other encoding.
So can you describe your problem? That question doesn't make sense.

Write Special Characters in PDF file from SAP Script

Hi there,
Need a quick help...
We are converting SAP Script to PDF using the function module CONVERT_OTF
and saving the file on presentation server using GUI_DOWNLOAD...
But in certain cases where the item text is maintained with some special
characters like @#$% u03B1 u03B2 u03B3 u03B4 ®... then, some of these characters are seen
as junk/garbage characters...
how do we handle this??
P.S. Our Forms are already using Korean Font...
Any help is highly appreciated
Kind Regards,
Tanuja

Hi,
Use the FM CONVERT_OTF to get the Binary data and down load it as PDF .

In those address fields, some special characters (not in our code page) are also kept. When we want to write these address fields into an XML file or flat file, the special charcters become "##" or not readable, can anyone help us to solve this issue?

Can't show special characters (ÆØÅ) in pdf fields created with inDesign CS6

Hi Guys im having a problem with special characters in pdf's form fields created in inDesign CS6
instead of the character ÆØÅ it creates squares or some other seemingly random character
Here's the pdf

I figured it out
Just in case people had the same problem here is how it's done: (i misunderstood the two posters above me, so you are actually going to change fonts within acrobat, like they said, and save it)
Open the pdf in acrobat, go and change font settings for each of your fields and change the font under the "Appearance" tab.

How to write the data into EEPROM using Labview?

You would need some sort of EEPROM programmer. Typically might
communicate with it via serial. I don't know how you would do this in

Okay, that's better. It would have been nice if the code was formatted, and if there was about 20% of that code. (Your example could have been just one JLabel and nothing else, for example.)
Anyway, now that you've posted that code, what is your question about it? I see you are calling a "getAvailableFontFamilyNames" method; do you have a question about that? If so, what is the question?

Adding text to PDF using iText instead of CFPDF

Hi,
I know this may seem a bit off topic being posted here but i'm asking this board since i'm a complete JAVA noob and i figure some of you CF folk might have had to do this before.
Anyway, about my question...i'm already adding a watermark image to a pdf using iText (CF8) thanks to the help of fellow poster (=cfSearching=). What i'm looking for is the best way to go about adding some text to this same pdf. I need to add 4 lines of text (with specific font and size) and center it underneath the added image. Does anyone have a site they could point me to as to how to add formatted text and how to get the width of that text so as to align it correctly? I've search Google and looked at a lot of JAVA code but being a JAVA noob it's tough to figure out exactly which libs and methods can be used to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Michael

Hi again!
Well, the merged image is an idea but i'd rather have it be actual text so that it is at least copy/paste-able if viewed on a computer.
The four lines of text are dynamic (company name, broker name, phone number, email address) and limited to 40 characters. Right now they are being added via CFPDF and DDX and use the following code in the DDX file to add it to the PDF.
<PDF result="DestinationFile">
 <PDF source="SourceFile">
 <Watermark
 rotation="0"
 opacity="100%"
 horizontalAnchor="#horzAnchor#"
 horizontalOffset="#horzOffset#"
 verticalAnchor="#vertAnchor#"
 verticalOffset="#vertOffset#"
 alternation="OddPages"
 >
 <StyledText text-align="center">
 #left(dCompany,maxlinechars)#
 #left(dName,maxlinechars)#
 #left(dPhone,maxlinechars)#
 #left(dEmail,maxlinechars)#
 </StyledText>
 </Watermark>
 </PDF>
</PDF>
Then using the created pdf from above, i use a slightly modified version of the cfscript code ( that uses iText) you provided me previously to add a logo image just above this text. The only changes i made to it were resizing of the image and adding where to place it. Here is that code:
<cfscript>
 fullPathToInputFile = "#tempdestfilepath#";
 writeoutput(" fullPathToInputFile=#fullPathToInputFile#");
 fullPathToWatermark = osFile("#request.logofilepath##qord.userlogo_file#",request.os);
 writeoutput(" fullPathToWatermark=#fullPathToWatermark#");
 fullPathToOutputFile = "#destfilepath#";
 writeoutput(" fullPathToOutputFile=#fullPathToOutputFile#");
 ppi = 72; // points per inch
 watermark_x = ceiling(#qord.pdftemplate_logo_x# * ppi); // from bottom left corder of pdf
 watermark_y = ceiling(#qord.pdftemplate_logo_y# * ppi); // from bottom left corder of pdf
 fh = ceiling(0.75 * ppi);
 fw = ceiling(1.75 * ppi);
 if( not fileexists(fullPathToInputFile) )
 savedErrorMessage = savedErrorMessage & "<li>Input file pdf for logo add does not exist #fullPathToInputFile#</li>";
 else
 try {
 // create PdfReader instance to read in source pdf
 pdfReader = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader").init(fullPathToInputFile);
 totalPages = pdfReader.getNumberOfPages();
 // create PdfStamper instance to create new watermarked file
 outStream = createObject("java", "java.io.FileOutputStream").init(fullPathToOutputFile);
 pdfStamper = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper").init(pdfReader, outStream);
 // Read in the watermark image
 img = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Image").getInstance(fullPathToWatermark);
 w = img.scaledWidth();
 h = img.scaledHeight();
 //$is[0] = w
 //$is[1] = h
 if( w >= h )
 orientation = 0;
 else
 orientation = 1;
 fw = max_h;
 fh = max_w;
 if ( w > fw || h > fh )
 if( ( w - fw ) >= ( h - fh ) )
 iw = fw;
 ih = ( fw / w ) * h;
 else
 ih = fh;
 iw = ( ih / h ) * w;
 t = 1;
 else
 iw = w;
 ih = h;
 t = 2;
 // adding content to each page
 i = 0;
 //while (i LT totalPages) {
 i = i + 1;
 content = pdfStamper.getOverContent( javacast("int", i) );
 img.setAbsolutePosition(javacast("float", watermark_x), javacast("float", watermark_y));
 if(t==1)
 img.scaleAbsoluteWidth( javacast("float", iw) );
 img.scaleAbsoluteHeight( javacast("float", ih) );
 content.addImage(img);
 WriteOutput("Watermarked page "& i &" ");
 //WriteOutput("Finished!");
 catch (java.lang.Exception e) {
 savedErrorMessage = savedErrorMessage & "<li>#e#</li>";
 // closing PdfStamper will generate the new PDF file
 if (IsDefined("pdfStamper")) {
 pdfStamper.close();
 if (IsDefined("outStream")) {
 outStream.close();
</cfscript>
The above code resized the image to a certain width/height if needed and adds it to the pdf.
I just figured they might be a way to tap into one of the java objects that would allow adding the text. Ideally, adding the text and image to some sort of 'bounding box' that would allow centering of the image and text in relation to that bounding box. Or if there is no way to add to a bounding box, a way to get the horizontal length of the longest line of text so i could calculate a common centerline for the image and text.
I've attached the following pdf to show how the image and text would look together. This example is not to scale but a similar image and text would be added to a separate pdf.
Thanks for you help.

Problem while generating PDF using iText

Hi:
I have generated PDF using iText, where i have written all code in sequential flow.
<code>
com.lowagie.text.Document document = new com.lowagie.text.Document(PageSize.A4, 55, 5, 20, 20);
OutputStream outputstream = response.getOutputStream();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document,outputstream);
</code>
And i have added all fields in the document.
But my problem is how to display total pagecount on all pages e.g.1\20 (because i have generated PDF sequentially)
Also i want to add watermark on all pages.
So, can any body help me to solve this problem?
Thank You,
Balaji

document.add(table);
document.close();
byte[] b = new byte[100 * 1024];
b = document.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
IWDCachedWebResource pdfRes = WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(b, WDWebResourceType.PDF, WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,      wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),"FileNameHelloText"));
I have used Window Manager to create a external window with the URL from pdfRes.getUrl() method.
After execution i get a pop up window with out PDF document.
Please let me know your thoughts & solutions to the above mentioned problem.
Thanks

Hello Folks,
               Use the following snippet of the code to generate PDF using ITEXT API.
                                   Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
     ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     PdfWriter.getInstance(document, bos);
     document.open();
                PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
                PdfPCell cell;
                cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("ONE"));
                table.addCell(cell);
                cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("TWO"));
                table.addCell(cell);
                document.add(table);
                document.close();
                byte [] byteContent = bos.toByteArray();
     IWDCachedWebResource cachedResource =
                         WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(
          byteContent,
          WDWebResourceType.PDF,
          WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,
          wdThis
                                      .wdGetAPI()
                                      .getComponent()
                                      .getDeployableObjectPart(),
          "TestPDF");
              IWDWindow externalWindow =
        wdComponentAPI
                        .getWindowManager()
                        .createExternalWindow(cachedResource.getURL(),                         "PDF Window",true);
              externalWindow.open();
Thanks and Regards,
