Hi,

I am using following code to generate a pdf. when I use my own FONT(Hebrew) to generate the pdf, the text being cut from the top, I am adding the sample pdf file and font file. Request to investigate and update me ASAP.

public void GeneratePDF()
    {
        var dataDir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
        var lic = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
        lic.SetLicense("Aspose.Pdf.lic");

        string fontFile = dataDir + "/HPSimplified.TTF";
        // Load input PDF file
        Document doc = new Document();
        // Create text builder object for first page of document
        //TextBuilder textBuilder = new TextBuilder(doc.Pages[1]);
        // Create text fragment with sample string
        TextFragment textFragment = new TextFragment("Hello world");

        if (fontFile != "")
        {
            // Load the TrueType font into stream object
            using (FileStream fontStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(fontFile))
            {
                // Set the font name for text string
                textFragment.TextState.Font = FontRepository.OpenFont(fontStream, FontTypes.TTF);
                // Specify the position for Text Fragment
                textFragment.Position = new Position(100, 600);
                // Add the text to TextBuilder so that it can be placed over the PDF file
                //textBuilder.AppendText(textFragment);
                var page = doc.Pages.Add();
                page.Paragraphs.Add(textFragment);
            }

            dataDir = dataDir + "LoadingFontFromStream_out.pdf";
            // Save resulting PDF document
            doc.Save(dataDir);
        }
    }

Thanks for your patience.

We are please to inform you that earlier logged issue PDFNET-42959, has been resolved. After further investigation of the issue, we have found that the problem was with the font “HPSimplified.ttf”, that has specific metrics. Every font has an abstract square whose height is the intended distance between lines of type in the same type size. This square is called the em square and it is the design grid on which the glyph outlines are defined. Many letters of input font have points which are placed out of font’s em square bounds.

In order to display this font correctly, usage of special setting is needed. Please note that every object of type TextFragment has a set of text formatting options. These options are accessible via properties TextState.FormattingOptions. Last property of this path is property of type Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFormattingOptions. This class has a an enumeration LineSpacingMode which is designed for specific fonts like input font “HPSimplified.ttf”.

Also class Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFormattingOptions has a property LineSpacing of type LineSpacingMode. Please just set LineSpacing into LineSpacingMode.FullSize. So, code snippet to get correct PDF will be like this:

string fontFile = dataDir + "HPSimplified.TTF";
// Load input PDF file
Document doc = new Document();
//Create TextFormattingOptions with LineSpacingMode.FullSize
TextFormattingOptions formattingOptions = new TextFormattingOptions();
formattingOptions.LineSpacing = TextFormattingOptions.LineSpacingMode.FullSize;            

// Create text builder object for first page of document
//TextBuilder textBuilder = new TextBuilder(doc.Pages[1]);
// Create text fragment with sample string
TextFragment textFragment = new TextFragment("Hello world");

if (fontFile != "")
{
  // Load the TrueType font into stream object
  using (FileStream fontStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(fontFile))
  {
    // Set the font name for text string
    textFragment.TextState.Font = FontRepository.OpenFont(fontStream, FontTypes.TTF);
    // Specify the position for Text Fragment
    textFragment.Position = new Position(100, 600);
    //Set TextFormattingOptions of current fragment to predefined(which points to LineSpacingMode.FullSize)
    textFragment.TextState.FormattingOptions = formattingOptions;
    // Add the text to TextBuilder so that it can be placed over the PDF file
    //textBuilder.AppendText(textFragment);
    var page = doc.Pages.Add();
    page.Paragraphs.Add(textFragment);
   }

  dataDir = dataDir + "LoadingFontFromStream_out2.pdf";
  // Save resulting PDF document
  doc.Save(dataDir);
}
