Dear All,
I have some images which were converted into xml files and searchable PDF
files using some OCR engine. But latter on I found that there are some
spelling mistakes and a few words are missing in the xml file and also in
searchable PDF file.
The PDF file is a searchable PDF (text behind image) file and the xml file
contains all the details of the OCR having the information about the region
coordinate, text, font details and color information.
I am using ItextSharp to create a pdf using the image and xml file. I have
done it but there is a problem with text.
The text added in pdf using chunk does not fit in the rectangle some words
displayed incorrectly like 'Times' is written as 'sTime'. I have tried
chunk.HorizontalScaling(0.72f) but it resize the text and rectangle also so
problem remain same.
I am using following code:
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContentUnder;
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);
FontFactory.RegisterDirectory(@"C:\WINDOWS\fonts");
FontFactory.RegisterDirectory(@"C:\WINDOWS\fonts\Arial.ttf");
FontFactory.RegisterDirectory(@"C:\WINDOWS\fonts\Times New Roman.ttf");
chunk = new Chunk("New Zealand Trained Nurses' Association",
FontFactory.GetFont("Times New Roman", "Cp1252", BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 20, 0,
iTextSharp.text.Color.RED));
chunk.HorizontalScaling(0.72f);
chunk.SetTextRenderMode(PdfContentByte.TEXT_RENDER_MODE_FILL, 0,
iTextSharp.text.Color.MAGENTA);
rect = new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(184, 1063, 376, 1063);
ct.SetSimpleColumn(rect.Left, rect.Bottom, rect.Right, rect.Top, 0, 0);
ct.AddText(chunk);
ct.Go();
How can i use the scaling in the text so that text can be fitted in
rectangle without changing the font size?
Thanks & Regards
