Java – Bold style doesn’t work in pdf output

jasper-reportsjavapdf

I'm building a few report using iReport 5.1.0 and JasperReports 5.0.0. Now my trouble is that bold style is not appearing in pdf output. If I have stylized text (for example, "<b>My Text</b>"), the bold parts appear bold in the report's output, but not in the pdf. The only way I can get bold in pdf is to force the pdf font for that element to be a bold font (pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold" for example), but that bolds the entire string and does not allow me to control it via the style markup <b>.

I'm exporting the pdf file in this way:

JRPdfExporter exp = new JRPdfExporter();
exp.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.OUTPUT_FILE_NAME, namefileToExport);
exp.exportReport();

How can I do?

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports-fonts/6.0.0

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports-fonts -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>net.sf.jasperreports</groupId>
    <artifactId>jasperreports-fonts</artifactId>
    <version>6.0.0</version>
</dependency>

adding this dependency to the pom.xml should be enough to fix the problem

Java – How does the Java ‘for each’ loop work

for (Iterator<String> i = someIterable.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
    String item = i.next();
    System.out.println(item);
}

Note that if you need to use i.remove(); in your loop, or access the actual iterator in some way, you cannot use the for ( : ) idiom, since the actual iterator is merely inferred.

As was noted by Denis Bueno, this code works for any object that implements the Iterable interface.

Also, if the right-hand side of the for (:) idiom is an array rather than an Iterable object, the internal code uses an int index counter and checks against array.length instead. See the Java Language Specification.

Html – Recommended way to embed PDF in HTML

This is quick, easy, to the point and doesn't require any third-party script:

<embed src="http://example.com/the.pdf" width="500" height="375" 
 type="application/pdf">

UPDATE (2/3/2021)

Adobe now offers it's own PDF Embed API.

UPDATE (1/2018):

The Chrome browser on Android no longer supports PDF embeds. You can get around this by using the Google Drive PDF viewer

<embed src="https://drive.google.com/viewerng/
viewer?embedded=true&url=http://example.com/the.pdf" width="500" height="375">
