How to set font ON org.apache.pdfbox WHILE Migrating from 3.0.0-RC1 to 3.0.0

I have a simple working 3.0.0.RC1 example code as below:

try (var document = new PDDocument();) {
  var page = new PDPage();
  document.addPage(page);
  try (var contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page);) {
    contentStream.beginText();
    contentStream.setFont(PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD, 12);
    contentStream.newLineAtOffset(100, 700);
    contentStream.showText("Hello World");
    contentStream.endText();
  }
  document.save(path.toFile());


When i change the version from 3.0.0.RC1 to 3.0.0 current code below is not working:

    contentStream.setFont(PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD, 12);


I tried below code, but it gives error: "PDFont is abtract; cannot be instantiated:"

    contentStream.setFont(new PDFont(Standard14Fonts.FontName.HELVETICA_BOLD), 12);
Solution

  • According to answer How do I solve this pdfbox?

    I tried this code, and it compiles.

    contentStream.setFont(new PDType1Font(Standard14Fonts.FontName.HELVETICA_BOLD), 12);
