B4J Question Unicode Text not showing in a PDF created with jPDFjet Library

[khaleel]

When I create a pdf file using jPDFjet Library , Unicode (Arabic) text is not showing when I open the output file using Adobe reader.Any one knows what should I do enable it to show?

According to PDFjet webPage in order to do that you must

Declare the font

(JAVA)

BufferedInputStream bis2 =newBufferedInputStream( getClass().getResourceAsStream("fonts/DroidFonts/DroidSerif-Regular.otf"));
Font f2 =newFont(pdf, bis2,CodePage.UNICODE,Embed.YES);

SO.... you should use something like this:

private Sub test
Dim InputS As InputStream = File.OpenInput("path","FileName") ' of your arabic font
Dim pd As PDFjetPDF
pd.Initialize("test","FileTest") ' of your PDF

Dim pdCode As PDFjetCodePage ' This is an ENUM so no initialize needed

Dim F As PDFjetFont
F.Initialize4(pd,InputS,pdCode.UNICODE,True) 'Relevant Code
End Sub

Okay,thank your response.
but when I call this function :
PDFFont1.Initialize4(PDFjetPDF1,InputS ,pdCode.UNICODE,True )
I get this Error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.pdfjet.Font.<init>(Lcom/pdfjet/PDF;Ljava/io/InputStream;IZ)V

any idea ?

Which PDF Jet version are you using?? did you downloaded the Open Source version from their web page? their evaluation version may be? WarWound wrapper is 2 or 3 versions behind, that means that it will not work with newer versions of pdfjet.

I suggest you download his compiled PDFJET open source jar. that you can find in the second post:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jpdfjet.37842/

Look for this line:

• Download my ready compiled Open Source Edition PDFJet.jar

If you want to have the paid version or the evaluation version up to date, i am afraid that you will need to create your own wrapper or do it with InLine java.
