Hi all, It's been a long time since I've contributed here, and would be please to help improve documentation or samples. How can I help you?

https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF/wiki/Tutorial - This tutorial could be improved, adding more examples of more common use-cases and such.

Pull requests to improve the JavaDoc in the code would be useful.

And Youtube tutorials: ⭐ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZEhv8tpT6U&list=PLFh8wpMiEi8-Yo59DBCasuVi1M29kQrvn&loop=0

What do you think about moving the sample classes to a dedicated maven module, in the same way other projects do?
This way it would be more visible.

Many sample classes are in the pdf-toolbox module. Contributing there is appreciated.

[asturio]

More and more examples should be added to pdf-toolbox. Additional info may be added by anyone in the Wiki.

Hi, @backsft
Are you sure this comment is really related to this issue?
You should probably explain your issue more precisely and if you could provide a sample of code with the font you're using it would certainly be easier to investigate.

[backsft]

package com.OpenPDFBanglaFontTest.Another;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Register TrueTypeFont which supports Hindi
    FontFactory.register("C:\\Users\\kabir\\Desktop\\fonts\\SolaimanLipi.ttf");
    Document document = new Document();
    try {
        PdfWriter.getInstance(document,
                new FileOutputStream("C:\\Users\\kabir\\Desktop\\HelloWorld.pdf"));

        document.open();
        document.add(new Chunk(
                "আমাদের তরুণ বিপ্লবীরা দেশের মানুষের মনে নতুন বাংলাদেশ গড়ার যে স্বপ্ন জাগিয়ে দিয়েছে",
                FontFactory.getFont("SolaimanLipi", "Identity-H",false,14,2,null)));
    } catch (DocumentException de) {
        System.err.println(de.getMessage());
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
        System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
    }
    document.close();

}

} output came:

expected result should be : আমাদের তরুণ বিপ্লবীরা দেশের মানুষের মনে নতুন বাংলাদেশ গড়ার যে স্বপ্ন জাগিয়ে দিয়েছে
