Custom fonts > PDFs

[Nando Breiter]

I'm generating a PDF using cfdocument (a Swiss postal pay slip) that needs a custom OCRB font for the scannable code line at the bottom. Any fairly current advice on how to get custom fonts to work in cfdocument?

Thanks in advance,

Nando

It's not a direct answer to your question. We took a different approach to create scan codes, using zxing to create an image.... https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Getting-Started-Developing

To make it work, we stick the core-3.1.0.jar and javase-3.1.0.jar files in the tomcat/lib directory and the following will create a code-128 barcode:

<cfset format=createObject('java','com.google.zxing.BarcodeFormat')>

<cfset writer=createObject('java','com.google.zxing.oned.Code128Writer').init()>

<cfset matrix=createObject('java','com.google.zxing.client.j2se.MatrixToImageWriter')>

<cfset barcode=writer.encode('123456',format.CODE_128,75,75)>

<cfset image=ImageNew(matrix.toBufferedImage(barcode))>

<cfimage action="writeToBrowser" source="#image#" format="png">

Hi Nando,

 

I've written a blog article a while ago how to do this. See here: http://blog.hnat.de/post.cfm/schriftarten-zu-railo-hinzufugen

Yes, I'v written it in German :-)

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best,

Michi

but in general:

    1) add your font to the fonts folder in fonts.jar archive
    2) edit pdf4fonts.properties to include your font with a name (escape spaces with a \)
    3) restart Tomcat
