Hi all,
I need to add text to a pdf that includes a number of superscript and
subscript characters. Is there a "right" way to do this? My assumption is
that drawing the string at some location and then drawing the
super/subscript at a reduced point size offset up or down is not best
practice. It will certainly be a pain...
The PDF format doesn't have any concept of formatted text. So your description
is exactly what you have to do.
The data I have is coming from a java String (UTF-16). The String literal
is being saved with an IDE that probably saves in a less preserving format
(UTF-8?). I can change the data source if it makes my life easier.
I am new to the world of PDFBox and the details of fonts so feel free to
start at the beginning and drive slowly. :)
Have a look at [1], but be aware that the link will change, as our overhauled
website will go live in a few days.
Thanks,
Buzzy
