Hi list,

i can't seem to force a certain font and font size to be active when
adding text directly to a PDF. I have tried the following code (below).
Whatever i do, the font used in the pdf is always Arial 12.

Please advice

kind regards

Daniel

HTMLWorker worker = new
HTMLWorker(document);
StyleSheet style = new
StyleSheet(); // stylesheet
loadStyles( style );

StringReader sr = new
StringReader( fieldValue );
ArrayList array =
HTMLWorker.parseToList(sr,style);

float[] position =
af.getFieldPositions( bodyFieldName );

int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
// we retrieve the size of the
first page
Rectangle psize =
reader.getPageSize(1);
float width = psize.height();
float height = psize.width();

PdfContentByte cb =
stp.getOverContent((int)position[0]);
BaseFont bf =
BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN, BaseFont.CP1252,
BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
cb.setFontAndSize(bf, 11); //
alltid vara 11 punkters times-new-roman
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText( cb
);

ct.setSimpleColumn(position[1],
position[4], position[3], position[2]);
Element el = null;

for (int idx = 0; idx <
array.size(); idx++)
{
el =
(Element)array.get(idx);
ct.addElement( el
);
}

// read-only
af.setFieldProperty( bodyFieldName
,"setfflags", PdfFormField.FF_READ_ONLY, null);
ct.go();
