Hello ,

 

I am trying to extract the bold text for some PDF files, but some fail like
this one:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gh2zwdh3sl3isck/Bold%20Font%20Sample.pdf?dl=0

 

I am overriding the processTextPosition (.) method to do this, and i have
tried all these options, but none has worked for me:

1.      if(
text.getFont().getFontDescriptor().getFontName().toLowerCase().contains(
"bold" ) ) {.}  // returns false.
2.      if( text.getFont().getName().toLowerCase().contains( "bold" )  {.}
// returns false.
3.      System.out.println(
text.getFont().getFontDescriptor().getFontWeight() );  // returns 0.0.
4.      System.out.println( getGraphicsState().getLineWidth() );  // returns
1.0.
5.      System.out.println(
getGraphicsState().getTextState().getRenderingMode() );  // returns FILL

 

Note: The font name for the bold text in the PDF file is
"frutigernextlt-heavycn". It has the word "heavy". I could detect it this
way, but I think this is not a right procedure, as I have other PDF files
with font names that have the "heavy" word while they're not bold.

 

Best regards,

Hesham
