I am using iText5
(Java) to write a PDF which may contain Chinese characters. So I am using FontSelector
to process the String and this works fine.
Now the problem is that if there are 2 strings
String str1 = "Hello Test1";
String str2 = "Hello Test2";
I need to write str1
witch Font Color = Blue
and size = 10
, whereas str2
with Font Color = Gray
and size = 25
.
I am not able to figure out how to achieve this using FontSelector
.
Any help is appreciated.
That's easy. Here you have a code snippet that adds the Times Roman text in Blue and the Chinese text in Red:
FontSelector selector = new FontSelector();
Font f1 = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.TIMES_ROMAN, 12);
f1.setColor(BaseColor.BLUE);
Font f2 = FontFactory.getFont("MSung-Light",
"UniCNS-UCS2-H", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
f2.setColor(BaseColor.RED);
selector.addFont(f1);
selector.addFont(f2);
Phrase ph = selector.process(TEXT);
In your case you need two FontSelectors.
FontSelector selector1 = new FontSelector();
Font f1 = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.TIMES_ROMAN, 12);
f1.setColor(BaseColor.BLUE);
selector1.addFont(f1);
Phrase ph = selector1.process(str1);//First one
FontSelector selector2 = new FontSelector();
Font f2 = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.TIMES_ROMAN, 12);
f2.setColor(BaseColor.GRAY);
selector2.addFont(f2);
Phrase ph = selector2.process(str2);//Second one
you can do it in another way in my case i use 14 for header and 10 for data in tabular report
private Font fHeader;
private Font f1;
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(Constants.Settings.ARIAL_FONT, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true);
f1 = new Font(bf, 10);
fHeader= new Font(bf,14);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
//for report header
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(reportKingdomData + "\n" + departmentData + " " + username + " \n " + reportHeader + " \n ", fHeader));
//and for background color
cell .setBackgroundColor(new GrayColor(0.40f));//if 0.10f will be closer to black
