In this iText 5 example, we will create a Hello World example in different languages, using different fonts:
public void createPdf(String dest)
throws DocumentException, IOException {
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(dest));
document.open();
Font font = new Font(FontFamily.TIMES_ROMAN);
Font font14pt = new Font(FontFamily.TIMES_ROMAN, 14);
Font font10pt = new Font(FontFamily.TIMES_ROMAN, 10);
BaseFont bf_russian = BaseFont.createFont(
"resources/fonts/FreeSans.ttf",
"CP1251",
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Font russian = new Font(bf_russian, 12);
BaseFont bf_cjk = BaseFont.createFont(
"resources/fonts/NotoSansCJKsc-Regular.otf",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Font cjk = new Font(bf_cjk, 12);
Paragraph p = new Paragraph("Hello World! ", font);
Chunk chunk = new Chunk("Hallo Wereld! ", font14pt);
p.add(chunk);
chunk = new Chunk("Bonjour le monde! ", font10pt);
chunk.setTextRise(4);
p.add(chunk);
chunk = new Chunk(
"\u0417\u0434\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0443\u043b\u0442\u0435 \u043c\u0438\u0440! ",
russian);
p.add(chunk);
p.add(new Chunk("\u4f60\u597d\u4e16\u754c! ", cjk));
p.add(new Chunk("\uc5ec\ubcf4\uc138\uc694 \uc138\uacc4!", cjk));
document.add(p);
document.close();
}
