Hi everyone! I'm sorry I could't lurk a bit longer, but I've been asked to determine what's involved in localization of some reports using PDFBox. Specifically, we have to produce a simplified and traditional Chinese version. I've got a font file installed on my box called wqy-zenhei.ttc ; It's working on my java swing app, to load up this font and put out unicode characters on screen.
Now I need to see about the reports. I'm far from an expert on this, so I've been Googling Stackoverflow and so on, and it seems that the really right way to do this would be to embed the font into the PDF as a PDF/A, so that anyone who got the PDF would be able to display it, since the font is not deriving from user/share/fonts, but from within the PDF itself. Am I correct in understanding that this is only possible under the yet-to-be released version 2 of PDFBox? I started to build it to try out the example code, but apparently I don't have JCE installed. Also, since we're already running with PDBox 1.8 or 1.9, is there an alternative way to accomplish this in those earlier versions?
