How to add a custom Font to Itext7 library in jetpack Compose

I want to build android app that generates pdf file, but I want to add custom font that's suitable with app purpose.

I tried to use string path "src/main/...etc" but it didn't work

Reading IText7 documentation was really painful, any solution?

How I use custom for for my PDF generation is as below which you can find useful.

There are two ways

1. You can put the font in the res/font/.. folder and use it.
2. You can put the font in assets/.. and use it.

The problem with the first approach is that when you apply Proguard it will not work as expected.

Working Approach

Don't forget to add a font in asset folder

private fun GeneratePDF() {
        try {
            val path =
                Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)
                    .toString() + "/MyPDF"

            val file = File(path, "my_file.pdf")

            val pdfWriter = PdfWriter(file)
            val pdfDocument = PdfDocument(pdfWriter)
            val document = Document(pdfDocument)

            val font = PdfFontFactory.createFont(
                "assets/regular.ttf",
                PdfEncodings.IDENTITY_H
            )
            document.setFont(font)
            pdfDocument.defaultPageSize = PageSize.A4
            pdfDocument.addEventHandler(PdfDocumentEvent.END_PAGE, TextFooterEventHandler(document))
            
            val secondLine = Paragraph(
                "${
                    SimpleDateFormat(
                        "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm a",
                        Locale.getDefault()
                    ).format(Date())
                } \n Created By : My"
            ).setBold().setFontSize(12f).setItalic()
            document.add(secondLine)

            val line = SolidLine(1f)
            val linebreak = LineSeparator(line)
            document.add(linebreak)
            
            document.close()
           
        } catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }
    }

Hope it works for you. Happy Compose :)
