Generate pdf in android with hindi or custom fonts

Question

Do we have some clear guide on how to generate pdf in android which includes tabular data too, with custom fonts like devnagri etc? I have tried itext pdf but text other than English shows blank. Any free or paid library will be helpful.

Answer 1

If you can draw it on screen then you can draw it to a pdf with the built in PdfDocument Class as you can use any laid out view (either got from what is already on screen or manually laying it out yourself) and then use the View's draw method to draw it to the PDF.

So for the tabular data you can use a TableLayout or other methods and the standard fonts available to your app.

Note the Pdf is a bitmap of the contents (e.g. the text is not editable)
