I use iText7 and Java to populate pdf forms. The pdf modules were created with Adobe program and I use a custom font, I embed into the finished PDF. If I try to add some coloured text to the pdf, the entire program crashes. How can I do ?
Here is the code I use to colour the text:
String fontPath = this.getClass().getResource("RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf").getPath();
PdfAcroForm form = PdfAcroForm.getAcroForm(pdfDoc, false);
Map<String, PdfFormField> fields = form.getFormFields();
PdfFont regularFont = PdfFontFactory.createFont(fontPath, true);
fields.get("scadenza_r").setValue("Scadenza:", regularFont, regularFontSize).setColor(Color.BLUE);
And here is the exception it throws:
com.itextpdf.kernel.PdfException: Dictionary doesn't have supported font data.

I tried also this, but the result is the same:
PdfTextFormField tf = (PdfTextFormField) fields.get("numeroRiga_l");
tf.setValue("#", boldFont, boldFontSize);
tf.setColor(Color.WHITE);
After searching, I found the color apllies correctly if i set it first, and after set the Font, and after the font size. In other words I have to do the transformations sequentially, and not inside the same method.
Instead of :
fields.get("scadenza_r").setValue("Scadenza:", regularFont, regularFontSize).setColor(Color.BLUE);
I have to type :
fields.get("scadenza_r").setValue("Scadenza:").setColor(Color.Blue).setFont(regularFont).setFontSize(regularFontSize);
