PdfBox and barcode fonts

Hello,


We are using Pdfbox to send the PDF file to client printer when printing from Oracle Reports 11g


When I am adding alias mapping for barcode font C39P24DmTt = "V100025_.TTF" I am getting the following error:



Java code:



while (setInt.hasNext()) {



String val = (String)setInt.next();



write_message("Before cast");

PDType1Font pdt = (PDType1Font)map.get(val); //error is here

write_message("After cast");

write_message("'"+val+" "+pdt.getFontDescriptor().getFontName()+"'");



PDFont currFont = this.loadFontByName(document,pdt.getFontDescriptor ().getFontName(),val);



if(currFont != null)

{

currentPage.findResources().getFonts().put(val,cur rFont);

}



}



Error

DEBUG MESSAGE DirectPrint24: Map is: {F1=org.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType0Font@91d7c, F0=org.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType0Font@6ee404, F2=org.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType0Font@3bfc47}

DEBUG MESSAGE DirectPrint24: org.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType0Font cannot be cast to org.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font



It looks like this font is not recognizable.



Any help will be much appreciated.


Thanks,
Alex

you say that PDType1Font pdt = (PDType1Font)map.get(val); //error is here is a pdtype1font but its a pdtype0font

Interestingly, PDType0Font is a child class of PDType1Font, so I'm not sure why the cast doesn't work. PDType0Font (pdfbox-0.8.0-incubating API)

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry for my misunderstanding:

Do you mean line
PDType1Font pdt = (PDType1Font)map.get(val);

must be replaced by

PDType1Font pdt = (PDType0Font)map.get(val);

Thanks

You haven't got two versions of PDFBox lying around have you?

As Fubarable says, according to the API (and the src code for that matter) that cast should work.

Thank you for your reply. I have compiled my program only against PDFBox-0.7.3.jar
