Hi,
I had doubt regarding PDF generation and i am novice in iText(using it the first time). i am finding problems in displaying Japanese, Chinese and Korean characters.
The File is getting generated but i am not able to view these characters.Other 1character/byte (i.e. normal english characters) types are easily viewable.
My problem is how do i make these characters viewable if i have to parse the data.
I am parsing the Chinese, Japanese charcter data as given below:
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 80, 50, 30, 65);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ServletOutputStream objServletOutputStream = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("application/pdf;charset=utf-8");
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,baos);
writer.setEncryption(PdfWriter.STRENGTH40BITS,null,null,~(PdfWriter.AllowPrinting|PdfWriter.AllowPrinting|PdfWriter.AllowModifyContents|PdfWriter.AllowCopy|PdfWriter.AllowModifyAnnotations|PdfWriter.AllowFillIn|PdfWriter.AllowScreenReaders|PdfWriter.AllowAssembly|PdfWriter.AllowDegradedPrinting));
SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
ByteArrayInputStream in1 = new ByteArrayInputStream(parseHTMLString.getBytes("UTF-8"));
parser.parse(in1,new SAXmyHtmlHandler(document));
response.setContentLength(baos.size());
baos.writeTo(objServletOutputStream);
objServletOutputStream.flush();
When i went through the documentation i found that we have to use CJK fonts, but i am not sure how can we use it when i am parsing data, because what i understand from the examples posted at the iText site is that the string should be added as a paragraph object, and then this should be added to the document object. But my HTML string itself has <P> and <font> tags which are parsed my SAXmyHtmlHandler internally.Also the contents should be set to ArialUnicodeMS Font.
Correct if i am wrong and also please guide me with PDF generation. Also it will be helpfull if any other alternative methods are suggested.
Please help.....
Thanks & Regards,
Ashwin
