I'm using Seam 1.1.6GA. In documentation - 15.9. Configuring iText - there is no information about need of DocumentStoreServlet in web.xml. Without it useExtensions option doesn't work. There should be some option to set encoding for text, without it i can't display polish national charachters (there are simply missing in pdf). I've made quick change to org.jboss.seam.pdf.ui.UIFont :
public void createITextObject(FacesContext context) {
familyName = (String) valueBinding(context, "familyName", familyName);
int family = (familyName==null) ? Font.UNDEFINED : Font.getFamilyIndex(familyName);
BaseFont baseFont = null;
try {
baseFont = BaseFont.createFont("Helvetica", BaseFont.CP1250,
BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
} catch (DocumentException e) {
//TODO: what to do?
} catch (IOException e) {
//TODO: what to do?
}
size = (Integer) valueBinding(context, "size", size);
//font = new Font(family, size);
font = new Font(baseFont, size);
style = (String) valueBinding(context, "style", style);
if (style != null) {
font.setStyle(style);
}
}
with that change all polish national characters are visible. More elegant solution would be great...
