Today, I want to talk about ItextSharp component. This component is very popular in creating PDF files. I ran across to a problem while using it. The problem was my pdf file was not showing turkish characters correctly. And the solution for this problem is like following code.

    String htmlText = html.ToString();
    Document document = new Document();
    string filePath = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/Content/Pdf/");
    PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(filePath + "\\pdf-"+Name+".pdf", FileMode.Create));
    document.Open();

    iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker hw = new iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker(document);
    FontFactory.Register(Path.Combine(_webHelper.MapPath("~/App_Data/Pdf/arial.ttf")),  "Garamond");   // just give a path of arial.ttf 
    StyleSheet css = new StyleSheet();
    css.LoadTagStyle("body", "face", "Garamond");
    css.LoadTagStyle("body", "encoding", "Identity-H");
    css.LoadTagStyle("body", "size", "12pt");

    hw.SetStyleSheet(css);

    hw.Parse(new StringReader(htmlText));

String htmlText = html.ToString();

Document document = new Document();

string filePath = HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/Content/Pdf/");

PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(filePath + "\\pdf-"+Name+".pdf", FileMode.Create));

document.Open();

iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker hw = new iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker(document);

FontFactory.Register(Path.Combine(_webHelper.MapPath("~/App_Data/Pdf/arial.ttf")), "Garamond"); // just give a path of arial.ttf

StyleSheet css = new StyleSheet();

css.LoadTagStyle("body", "face", "Garamond");

css.LoadTagStyle("body", "encoding", "Identity-H");

css.LoadTagStyle("body", "size", "12pt");

hw.SetStyleSheet(css);

hw.Parse(new StringReader(htmlText));
