Mark - FYI, basefont isn't required for Type3 fonts (or TrueType for that matter). I had the same reaction when I first ran into this issue, but the spec never lies, right? It just injects ambiguity and confusion. -- View this message in context: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/NPE-

ok - I ran into this issue myself a month or so ago. It's been fixed in the 5.0.3 codebase (which is the current HEAD in SVN). /** Creates a new instance of DocumentFont */ DocumentFont(PRIndirectReference refFont) { encoding = ""; fontSpecific = false; this.refFo

According to the PDF Reference (ISO 32000), BaseFont is a required field. So where did this PDF come from? It's possible that the font's FondeDescriptor has a /FontName entry (also required, and required to match BaseName). I suspect Adobe has bullet-proofed their applications to the point where

On Mark's advice I downloaded the source code from the 5.0.2 branch and dug a little deeper... The NPE is thrown on the following line of the DocumentFont constructor. fontName = PdfName.decodeName(font.getAsName(PdfName.BASEFONT).toString()); It turns out that font.getAsName(PdfName.BASEFONT) r

iText is pure java, yes. However, it relies on some other .jar files... from "bouncy castle", which I thought were included in the distribution. There are also a couple different itext*.jar files you might be missing. Asian fonts take up lots of space and aren't part of the main distribution.

There's a really simple solution here. Render your word document as a PDF and use PdfStamper to Add Stuff. To address your question directly, lets first ass-u-me that you're using 100% zoom. 1) In PDF, we always use 72 DPI (dots per inch). 2) In windows, you can have a variety of DPIs, th

Hi, Guys, Business gives me a Word template, I am supposed to produce a similar PDF document using iText. The font size used in the Word is 12. If I similarly use font 12 in iText, the font size in the generated PDF looks slightly smaller than the font size in Word document. It matches better if

I will add to Mark's (excellent) stream of consciousness analysis: The next step is to see what the name of the font resource is that is causing the problem. Then, load RUPS and dig into the page dictionary and find the entry for that font resource - given what Mark is showing in the source, mos
