Hi Maruan, Thanks a lot for quick response. How to get font to construct the defaultAppearanceString? E.g. String defaultAppearanceString = "/Helv 12 Tf 0 0 0 rg"; in this "Helv" is used. If I have to use font supported by PDFBox like COURIER_BOLD_OBLIQUE then how to get the name/string to be used in defaultAppearanceString?
