I've been using the PDFWriter (v1.10) library to write / create PDFs
But I have been fudging the numbers. (Doing something and see if it looks right)
PDFWriter to write out text you need to do
To move to the next line I need to add some value to mFromBottom
How do I calculate the height for the font I have selected and size of font.
What I have been doing is this
If I want a small font like Ariel or Courier 16.6 is this going to work right.
ANY Help please

B4X:
mFontSize as int = 12
mLeft as Int = 20
mFromBottom as int = 200
mPaperSize as int = mPDFPaperSize.LETTER_HEIGHT
mPDFWriter.setFont(mPDFFonts.SYMBOL, mPDFFonts.COURIER)
mPDFWriter.setFont(mPDFFonts.SUBTYPE, mPDFFonts.COURIER)
mPDFWriter.addText(mLeft, Abs(FromBottom-mPaperSize), mFontSize, "text to output")To move to the next line I need to add some value to mFromBottom
How do I calculate the height for the font I have selected and size of font.
What I have been doing is this
B4X:
TextHeight = (GetTextHeight("This is a text", 12) * 1.5) ' Font size 12
Private Sub GetTextHeight(Text As String, TextSize As Int) As Int
Dim FmtLabel As Label
Dim JavaObj As JavaObject
FmtLabel.Initialize("")
FmtLabel.TextSize = TextSize
FmtLabel.Text = Text
JavaObj = FmtLabel
JavaObj.RunMethod("setPadding", Array As Object(0, 0, 0, 0))
JavaObj.RunMethod("setIncludeFontPadding", Array As Object(False))
Return mCanvas.MeasureStringHeight(FmtLabel.Text, FmtLabel.Typeface, FmtLabel.TextSize)
End SubIf I want a small font like Ariel or Courier 16.6 is this going to work right.
