TextFragment crashing

When trying to add text to the fragment the application is crashing

	textBuilder.appendText(textFrag);

This works fine when running on my PC but when it’s applied to the iSeries the same code fails. And the exception error is null

@nickba,
Kindly send the complete details of the use case, including source PDF, code, JDK version, Java IDE and iSeries (edition and name). We will investigate and share our findings with you.

Hi Sorry about the delay.

**This is the exception error when doing the “textFrag.getTextState().setFont(font);” **
null

Java program completed
Please let me know if you need anything else. It’s clearly only occurring when trying to do the setfont. If I don’t try and set the font the application completes normally.

Thanks

            // create TextBuilder object
            // append the text fragment to the PDF page
            textBuilder.appendText(textFrag);
        }
        catch ( Exception er)
        {
            System.out.println(er.getMessage());
        }
        pdfDoc.save("/pdf/delcontract.pdf");
        System.exit(0);
    }
}

Still throws the same error even though it does have the font in the list

@imran.rafique keep forgetting to “@” you sorry

@nickba,
Thank you. We are investigating your query and will get back to you soon.

@nickba,
Based on the initial investigation, we could not replicate this error in our environment. Please let us know which Aspose.Pdf for Java API version you are using. If you are not using the latest version 17.8, then we would recommend you please try the latest version 17.8 of Aspose.Pdf for Java API, and then let us know how that goes into your environment.

@imran.rafique Hi Imran we are using the latest version 17.8

@nickba,
Kindly create a small eclipse project, which reproduces this error in your environment, and then share the Zip of this project. We will investigate and share our findings with you.
