PDF Font Display Issue

Regarding the issue "fonts" you should read in the developer guide at chapter 4.15 and further.
http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_developer_guide/foxit_quick_pdf_library_15_developer_guide.pdf

The library supports only some standard fonts. In the developer guide you'll find these fonts.
If you need additionally fonts for a matching layout you have to add these fonts as font files.

If you have an external pdf file and want to know if there's a font file inside (not referenced) then you can use function "HasFontResources".

If we should check your pdf document for similar results with our routines you should upload the pdf anywhere posting the link here.

Hi Yoganathan,

what i've done so far...
I've checked your file with my PDF-Analyzer.
There is one font referenced: CourierNew.
There is one font embedded: MSLineDraw.

Then i've added a page number at the bottom, on the right side "page 1 from 1".
I didn't select a font doing this.
QuickPDF took "Times Bold" - Now i've a second font referenced in the pdf.
My rendered preview wasn't messed up - it still looks well layouted.

What you should do before drawing text into a new (for you new) pdf document:

1. Using CombineContentStreams:
https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/CombineContentStreams.php
2. Using NormalizePage:
https://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/NormalizePage.php

Then you shouldn't have problems like described here.

Hi,


mmmmh... here it is but i fear this won't help you much.

// . . .
   QP  := TDebenuPDFLibrary1611.Create;
   try
      Save_Cursor   := Screen.Cursor;
      Screen.Cursor := crHourglass;    // Show hourglass cursor

      QP.LoadFromFile(Edit1.text, '');
      QP.SetTempPath(tpath);

      If QP.EncryptionStatus > 0 Then
         QP.Decrypt;

//-- if rb5 checked = true ... new page numbering at the bottom

      if rb5.Checked = True Then
         begin
            QP.SetOrigin(1);
            QP.SetMeasurementUnits(0);
// . . .
            sfont := QP.AddStandardFont(10);
// . . .
            QP.SelectFont(sfont);
// . . .
            If ( Trim(combocolor.Text) = 'red' ) or ( Trim(combocolor.Text) = 'rot' ) Then
               QP.SetTextColor(1,0,0);
// . . .
            for i := 1 to QP.PageCount do
                begin
// . . .
                   QP.SelectPage(i);
// . . .
                   QP.SetTextSize(StrToInt(snrufg.Text));
// . . .
                   QP.DrawText(StrToInt(snrpos.Text), QP.PageHeight - ( 3 + StrToInt(snrufg.Text) ), gtxt);
                end;
            QP.SetMeasurementUnits(0);
         end;
//-------------------------------------------
   finally
// . . .

Normalize and combine are at another place more at the top ...
I'm using the normal Save from QuickPDF.

Yes. It CAN work without Normalize and Combine... but not for all files.
If there's a file with rotate nnn included then it won't work proper without Normalize...

I MEAN AFTER LOAD!
With "at the top" i mean not in the code range i've copied but before.
Please read the online reference, the online samples, the developer guide, ...
