Hi Gerrit,
which version of PDFBox are you using? Could you post a small code snippet to
reproduce the issue? With a quick test I created the numbers do print fine
i.e. they have the same width.
Her my code:
PDDocument doc = new PDDocument();
PDPage page = new PDPage();
doc.addPage( page );
PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA;
PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page);
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.setFont( font, 12 );
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount( 100, 700 );
contentStream.drawString( "1111 " + font.getStringWidth("1111"));
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount( 0, 20 );
contentStream.drawString( "2222 " + font.getStringWidth("2222"));
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount( 0, 20 );
contentStream.drawString( "12 " + font.getStringWidth("12"));
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount( 0, 20 );
contentStream.drawString( "32 " + font.getStringWidth("32"));
contentStream.endText();
contentStream.close();
doc.save( "test.pdf" );
Kind regards
