RenderPageToFile wrong output

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
i use RenderPageToFile with Delpjhi 10.4 to get a bitmap of a PDF page.
In a Windows App all works fine, but in the same App compiled as Android App any fields or textblocks are not visible or wrong attributes:

Arial : is visible
Arial bold : is not visible
Arial kursiv : is visible but not bold
Time New Roman : is not visible
Time New Roman bold : is not visible
Time New Roman kursiv : is not visible
Courier New : is visible
Courier New bold : is visible but not bold
Courier New kursiv: is visible but not kursiv 

What can i do to RenderPageToFile correct to a bitmap?

Ciao
Stefan

	The fonts won't be embedded? Are the fonts available on the device? What sometimes helps are functions like: >> NormalizePage, >> CombineContentStreams, (TransformFile), (BalancePageTree).
	Cheers, Ingo

	All you wrote has no effect :-( The fonts are added to PDF, if i show it in Android Chrome all is correct! Now i tried ViewPrintQP.RenderPageToString(120,1,9); to get the page as HTML, in Windows this works fine, but in Android the result is a TFoxitQPLBytearray and i can't findout how to declare this (unknown type TFoxitQPLBytearray ) Ciao Stefan Edited by sko - 17 Nov 23 at 8:14AM

	Sorry. Don't know how to step into your issue. Perhaps here's still another one able to dig into your issue.
	Cheers, Ingo

	1. I know nothing about Android development. 2. Opening a PDF and showing fonts correctly in a specific environment (eg 'Android Chrome') is not sufficient to prove that the fonts are embedded; they may be substituted somehow, or found by the app elsewhere. Open the problem PDF in Acrobat and press control-D to show the embedded fonts and whether they are subsetted. 3. If they are not embedded, or not in a way that your application can use them on Android, then sorry, I also cannot help further for this environment, but I hope this may help you in some way.

	First check your PDF has embedded fonts, check Android's support for these fonts, update your PDF rendering library, try altering RenderPageToFile settings, debug for font loading/rendering issues and explore alternative PDF rendering methods.
