There is bug that makes the EPS file invalid. Until the bug is fixed you
can manually fix the EPS file.
The problem is with the font. For the example below open the EPS file
and search for
null 12 F
replace that with
/Helvetica 12 F

Hi,
I'd like to use XML Graphics Commons's EPSDocumentGraphics2D to
generate output that includes the text as text, not as rendered
shapes. Is there a straightforward way to do that?
I've tried including both xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar and fop-1.0.jar
in my project, and using the NativeTextHandler class from
org.apache.fop.render.ps <http://org.apache.fop.render.ps>, like this...
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("mini-test.eps");
EPSDocumentGraphics2D g2d = new EPSDocumentGraphics2D(false);
g2d.setGraphicContext(new GraphicContext());
g2d.setCustomTextHandler(new NativeTextHandler(g2d, null));
g2d.setupDocument(out, 200, 100);
g2d.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 12));
g2d.drawString("Hi there", 50, 50);
g2d.finish();
out.close();
But it generates invalid EPS files, like the one attached. Here's the
output from Adobe Acrobat Pro...
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%%
Stack:
/Font
-null-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
If I leave out the NativeTextHandler line, it generates valid EPS
files, but you can't e.g. copy and paste the text from the file.
Any help appreciated!
