  • Constructor Details

    • Type3Font

      public Type3Font(PdfWriter writer, char[] chars, boolean colorized)
      Creates a Type3 font.
      Parameters:
      writer - the writer
      chars - an array of chars corresponding to the glyphs used (not used, present for compatibility only)
      colorized - if true the font may specify color, if false no color commands are allowed and only images as masks can be used

    • Type3Font

      public Type3Font(PdfWriter writer, boolean colorized)
      Creates a Type3 font. This implementation assumes that the /FontMatrix is [0.001 0 0 0.001 0 0] or a 1000-unit glyph coordinate system.

      An example: 

       Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
 PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("type3.pdf"));
 document.open();
 Type3Font t3 = new Type3Font(writer, false);
 PdfContentByte g = t3.defineGlyph('a', 1000, 0, 0, 750, 750);
 g.rectangle(0, 0, 750, 750);
 g.fill();
 g = t3.defineGlyph('b', 1000, 0, 0, 750, 750);
 g.moveTo(0, 0);
 g.lineTo(375, 750);
 g.lineTo(750, 0);
 g.fill();
 Font f = new Font(t3, 12);
 document.add(new Paragraph("ababab", f));
 document.close();
      Parameters:
      writer - the writer
      colorized - if true the font may specify color, if false no color commands are allowed and only images as masks can be used

    • defineGlyph

      public PdfContentByte defineGlyph(char c, float wx, float llx, float lly, float urx, float ury)
      Defines a glyph. If the character was already defined it will return the same content
      Parameters:
      c - the character to match this glyph.
      wx - the advance this character will have
      llx - the X lower left corner of the glyph bounding box. If the colorize option is true the value is ignored
      lly - the Y lower left corner of the glyph bounding box. If the colorize option is true the value is ignored
      urx - the X upper right corner of the glyph bounding box. If the colorize option is true the value is ignored
      ury - the Y upper right corner of the glyph bounding box. If the colorize option is true the value is ignored
      Returns:
      a content where the glyph can be defined
