As a diagnostic put the font in a folder on your C drive where the JVM is. And hard code a fully qualified path to it like this.

"C:\\SpecialFonts"

Does it work in this case? If so, now you know a working example syntax. Try and find where you put the font on the server for this param to look for.

Please go through below article hope it helps

in my HTML Rule, when I am giving Font source URL as "webwb/<Fontname.extension>" within style tag and going to preview it's giving me perfect result without this issue. Now I'm giving it as url('C:\\PRPCPersonalEdition\jre1.8.0_121\Fonts\<fontname.extension>') and going to preview it's again throwing the issue. (Note: I've put all the files this directory also). So I guess the issue is with Directory.

So if there is any possibility to pass "webwb" directory value as a parameter in HTMLtoPDF activity this issue will be fixed.

anyone can help me with pyPDFFontsDirectory  value

Hi Dibyakanti,

Try below options

Option1:- 

1. Create section place your fields/grids and apply styles from skin.

2. Include the section in stream rule and pass the stream rule to HTMLtoPDF activity.

Option2:- 

Set the parameter in stream rule as below.

tools.putParamValue("pyPDFFontsDirectory ", "complete path of webwb");

Option3:- 

you can set the pyPDFFontsDirectory parameter in your calling activity of HTMLtoPDF.

Note:- Make sure your giving complete path file 

Thanks,

Hi All,

Couple of things, previously I've used font-family in HTML tag to embed my font. Pega uses pd4ml library for pdf generation purpose where we need to pass font face in HTML tag based on my ttf file rather than using font-family. Source : http://pd4ml.com/cookbook/pd4ml_pdf_true_type_fonts.htm

So now somehow this issue got 90% resolved. But getting new issue.

Now current issue :

For Debuging purpose I have passed Param.pyPDFPropsDirectory value where properties file is getting generated. In my properties file I am getting  font.dir.location=C\:\\\\PRPCPersonalEdition\\\\jre1.8.0_121\\\\lib\\\\fonts, But I've set this value this value as C:\\PRPCPersonalEdition\\jre1.8.0_121\\lib\\fonts (pyPDFFontsDirectory parameter value). For this my correct font is not getting picked up.

Any body has any idea why this value is coming like this?

Also I've tried giving this value like C:\PRPCPersonalEdition\jre1.8.0_121\lib\fonts  and C:/PRPCPersonalEdition/jre1.8.0_121/lib/fonts
