I am using Itext 5 and I am trying to add non removable watermark text as follows, but the issue is that the RTL text appears incorrect:
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(byteArray);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, baos);
BaseFont baseFont = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA_OBLIQUE, BaseFont.WINANSI, false);
String watermarkText = "مسودة";
int numberOfPages = reader.getNumberOfPages();
for (int i = 1; i <= numberOfPages; i++) {
Rectangle pageSize = reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(i);
// get handle for existing page content
PdfImportedPage pageContent = stamper.getImportedPage(reader, i);
// store that content as form XObject
stamper.getWriter().addToBody(pageContent.getFormXObject(stamper.getWriter().getCompressionLevel()), pageContent.getIndirectReference());
pageContent.setCopied();
// reset page content
reader.getPageN(i).put(PdfName.CONTENTS, null);
// create pattern with former page content
PdfPatternPainter bodyPainter = stamper.getOverContent(i).createPattern(pageSize.getWidth(),
pageSize.getHeight());
bodyPainter.addTemplate(pageContent, 0, 0);
// add watermark to pattern
PdfGState state = new PdfGState();
state.setFillOpacity(0.3f);
bodyPainter.saveState();
bodyPainter.setGState(state);
for (float x = 70f; x < pageSize.getWidth(); x += 100) {
for (float y = 90; y < pageSize.getHeight(); y += 100) {
bodyPainter.beginText();
bodyPainter.setTextRenderingMode(PdfPatternPainter.TEXT_RENDER_MODE_FILL);
bodyPainter.setFontAndSize(baseFont, 13);
bodyPainter.showTextAlignedKerned(Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE, watermarkText, x, y, 45f);
bodyPainter.endText();
}
}
bodyPainter.restoreState();
// create new page content
PdfContentByte canvas = stamper.getUnderContent(i);
// add pseudo-content
canvas.beginText();
canvas.setFontAndSize(baseFont, 13);
canvas.showTextAlignedKerned(Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE, " ", 0, 0, 45f);
canvas.endText();
// fill with pattern holding former page content
canvas.setColorFill(new PatternColor(bodyPainter));
canvas.rectangle(pageSize.getLeft(), pageSize.getBottom(), pageSize.getWidth(),
pageSize.getHeight());
canvas.fill();
}
stamper.close();
reader.close();
byteArray = baos.toByteArray();
the watermark appears incorrect as follows:
please advise how to fix this issue.
I was able to fix it as follows:
for (float x = xAxis; x < pageSize.getWidth(); x += height + 100) {
for (float y = yAxis; y < pageSize.getHeight(); y += height + 100) {
if (isRTL) {
ColumnText.showTextAligned(bodyPainter, Element.ALIGN_CENTER, rtlPhrase, x, y, 45f,
PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL, ColumnText.DIGITS_AN2EN);
} else {
bodyPainter.beginText();
bodyPainter.setTextRenderingMode(PdfPatternPainter.TEXT_RENDER_MODE_FILL);
bodyPainter.setFontAndSize(baseFont, 13);
bodyPainter.showTextAlignedKerned(Element.ALIGN_RIGHT, watermarkText, x, y, 45f);
bodyPainter.endText();
}
}
}
