OK, I partially got it to work by using "RC":
String styles = "";
if(a.underline && !a.strikeout)
{
styles = "text-decoration:underline;";
}
else if(a.strikeout && !a.underline)
{
styles = "text-decoration:line-through;";
}
else if(a.strikeout && a.underline)
{
styles = "text-decoration:line-through underline;";
}
if (a.bold)
{
styles += "font-weight:bold;";
}
if (a.italic)
{
styles += "font-style:italic;";
}
freeText.put(PdfName.RC, new PdfString("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><body
xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\";
xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\";
xfa:APIVersion=\"Acrobat:8.2.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.0.2\"><p
dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"" + styles + "font-family:" +
a.font.getFamilyFontName()[0][3] + "\">" + a.text +
"</span></p></body>"));
At least it works properly in Acrobat, but is totally ignored in i.e.
Foxit PDFReader (and I guess in any other PDF Reader).
So if anybody else has some more tips please tell me :)
Thanks!
