We can set font style for text object such as Chunk
, Phrase
, Paragraph
, etc. using the com.itextpdf.text.Font
class. We can define the font face, size, style and its color using this class.
package org.kodejava.itextpdf;
import com.itextpdf.text.*;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
public class FontDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Document doc = new Document();
try {
PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, new FileOutputStream("FontDemo.pdf"));
doc.open();
// Creates some fonts
Font largeBold = new Font(Font.FontFamily.COURIER, 32,
Font.BOLD);
Font smallItalic = new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 10,
Font.ITALIC);
Font redFont = new Font(Font.FontFamily.TIMES_ROMAN, 12,
Font.ITALIC | Font.UNDERLINE, BaseColor.RED);
// Creates chunk, phrase and paragraph with font
// information.
Chunk chunk = new Chunk("Hello World", largeBold);
Phrase phrase =
new Phrase("The quick brown fox ", smallItalic);
Paragraph paragraph =
new Paragraph("jumps over the lazy dog", redFont);
doc.add(chunk);
doc.add(phrase);
doc.add(paragraph);
} catch (DocumentException | FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
doc.close();
}
}
