I've BI publisher Desktop installed that helps us to generate and visualize PDF from RTF file with sample data. RTF file which we are using is a mix of English and Chinese characters and with sample XML data , we are able to see PDF as we want.
When we use the same RTF in our java code (using BI publisher Java APIs) to create PDF , all the Chinese characters get replaced with question marks (?).
Below is the code where we are converting RTF to PDF
RTFProcessor rtfp = new RTFProcessor(pTemplate);
ByteArrayOutputStream xslOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
rtfp.setOutput(xslOutStream);
rtfp.process();
//Use XSL Template and Data from the VO to generate report and return the OutputStream of report
ByteArrayInputStream xslInStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(xslOutStream.toByteArray());
FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
ByteArrayInputStream dataStream =
new ByteArrayInputStream((byte[])pXmlOut); ///amDpc.getXMLData(pVoInstName));
processor.setData(dataStream);
processor.setTemplate(xslInStream);
ByteArrayOutputStream pdfOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
processor.setOutput(pdfOutStream);
byte outFileTypeByte = FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF;
processor.setOutputFormat(outFileTypeByte);
processor.generate();
dataBytes = pdfOutStream.toByteArray();
Googling suggests adding font file to BI publisher $oracle_top location or in $java_home/jre/lib/fonts locations. Since BI publisher is not directly used , option 1 ($oracle_top) is ruled out and Option 2 would require testing of all ADF applications deployed on PROD servers , which I would like to avoid .
Any suggestions on how to print Chinese characters ?
