Make the latest version of ItextPDF5 support Asian character sets (including Chinese)

For itextpdf to generate Chinese normally, you need a jar package. The easiest way is to download it from the maven library.

 

<dependency>

    <groupId>com.itextpdf</groupId>

    <artifactId>itextpdf</artifactId>

    <version>5.5.10</version>

</dependency>

 

<dependency>

    <groupId>com.itextpdf</groupId>

    <artifactId>itext-asian</artifactId>

    <version>5.2.0</version>

</dependency>

 

Add the following two dependencies.

 

BaseFont font = BaseFont.createFont("STSong-Light", "UniGB-UCS2-H", BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);

 

Note: Before itext5, the com.lowagie package was used, and then the package name was changed to com.itextpdf, don't confuse it, or an error will be reported:

Font 'STSong-Light' with 'UniGB-UCS2-H' is not recognized.
