Class PdfFontFactory

java.lang.Object

com.itextpdf.kernel.font.PdfFontFactory

public final class PdfFontFactory
extends Object

This class provides helpful methods for creating fonts ready to be used in a PdfDocument

Note, just created PdfFont is almost empty until it will be flushed, because it is impossible to fulfill font data until flush.

Method Detail

createFont

public static PdfFont createFont()
                          throws IOException

Creates a new instance of default font, namely StandardFonts.HELVETICA standard font with PdfEncodings.WINANSI encoding. Note, if you want to reuse the same instance of default font, you may use PdfDocument.getDefaultFont().

Returns:

created font

Throws:

IOException - if error occurred while creating the font, e.g. metrics loading failure

createFont

public static PdfFont createFont(PdfDictionary fontDictionary)

Creates a PdfFont by already existing font dictionary.

Note, the font won't be added to any document, until you add it to PdfCanvas. While adding to PdfCanvas, or to PdfResources the font will be made indirect implicitly.

PdfDocument.getFont(com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.PdfDictionary) method is strongly recommended if you want to get PdfFont by both existing font dictionary, or just created and hasn't flushed yet.

Parameters:

fontDictionary - the font dictionary to create the font from

Returns:

created PdfFont instance

createFont
