Hi there,
I use Java Aspose.Pdf library to place the text stamp onto the pdf document. I’ve faced with issue using italic font style.
I create the TextStamp and fill respective TextState with font (Courier), font size (190) and font style (Italic) properties.
So, this is the problems I need to solve
-
TextState.measureString(String str) should calculate the width of the string represented with this text state. But it doesn’t take into account the font properties from the text state. The size of the text stays the same for different fonts.
Not sure whether this is a bug or desired behavior from development team.
-
I place the word “Preview” with the font size (190), font (Courier), font size (190) and font style (Italic) and it appeared to be cut off. The last letter “w” is cut off, but there’s still free space on the page. If I change this ending “w” to double “v”, means “vv”, it displayed correctly. I guess it happens due to the last one is individual letter representation and “w” is too wide symbol. This problem happens only for Italic font style. And could be solved with smaller font size = 170. But it’s not the solution and not the great workaround.
Could you help me with that, please?
Best regards,
Vlada

Thank you for contacting support.
We would like to request you to share a narrowed down sample application along with source and generated files so that we may investigate to help you out. Before sharing requested data, please ensure using Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.5 in your environment.
Hi team,
I’m using Aspose.PDF for Java 17.12 version. I’ve tried with 18.5 version, problem remains the same.
Here’s the code snippet, where I’ve added text stamp on the document page. TextStamp, Page, etc. were taken from com.aspose.pdf package.
public void addStamp(Page page) {
TextStamp textStamp = new TextStamp("Preview");
textStamp.getTextState().setFont(FontRepository.findFont("Courier", true));
textStamp.getTextState().setFontSize(190);
textStamp.getTextState().setFontStyle(FontStyles.Italic);
// based on the page size and stamp width
Dimension stampDimension = getDimensionToFit();
// compute the width to be set for the text stamp
textStamp.setWidth(stampDimension.getWidth());
textStamp.setHeight(stampDimension.getHeight());
textStamp.setRotateAngle(60);
page.addStamp(textStamp);
}
private static Dimension getDimensionToFit(TextStamp textStamp, Dimension pageSize) {
double textWidth = textStamp.getTextState().measureString(textStamp.getValue());
double ratio = pageSize.getWidth() / textWidth;
return new Dimension(textWidth * ratio,
textStamp.getTextState().getFontSize());
}

Would you please share a working sample project reproducing this issue because shared code snippet is not compiling fine in its present form, owning to a few anomalies in the code. We will then proceed further to help you out.
Hello Farthan,
I’ve added a working snippet. Just execute the main method and point the right path to the input pdf document, please. You will see that even pages marked with Regular font style and odd pages with Italic. And Italic text stamp is cut off.
