Create Graphics2D from PdfTemplate

   <source lang="java">

import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import com.lowagie.text.Document; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfTemplate; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   Document document = new Document();
   PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("2.pdf"));
   document.open();
   String text = "\u0936\u093e\u0902\u0924\u093f";
   PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
   PdfTemplate tp = cb.createTemplate(100, 50);
   Graphics2D g2 = tp.createGraphicsShapes(100, 50);
   java.awt.Font font = new java.awt.Font("Arial Unicode MS", java.awt.Font.PLAIN, 12);
   g2.setFont(font);
   g2.drawString("Graphics2D: " + text, 0, 40);
   g2.dispose();
   cb.addTemplate(tp, 36, 750);
   document.close();

Draw with Graphics2D

   <source lang="java">

import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import com.lowagie.text.Document; import com.lowagie.text.Rectangle; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   int w, h;
   w = 150;
   h = 150;
   Ellipse2D.Double circle = new Ellipse2D.Double(12, 12, 12, 12);
   Document document = new Document(new Rectangle(w, h));
   PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("sun_tutorial.pdf"));
   document.open();
   PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
   Graphics2D g2 = cb.createGraphics(w, h);
   g2.setColor(Color.green);
   g2.fill(circle);
   g2.dispose();
   document.close();
 }

}</source>

Text with an absolute position using java.awt.Graphics2D object

   <source lang="java">

import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import com.lowagie.text.Document; import com.lowagie.text.PageSize; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
   PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(
       "h.pdf"));
   document.open();
   PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
   Graphics2D graphics2D = cb.createGraphics(PageSize.A4.width(), PageSize.A4
       .height());
   graphics2D.drawString("Hello World", 36, 54);
   graphics2D.dispose();
   document.close();
 }

Use java.awt.Font to draw strings

   <source lang="java">

import java.awt.Graphics2D; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import com.lowagie.text.Document; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.AsianFontMapper; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfTemplate; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter; public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   Document document = new Document();
   PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("2.pdf"));
   document.open();
   String text = "\u5e73\u548C";
   PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
   PdfTemplate tp = cb.createTemplate(100, 50);
   AsianFontMapper mapper = new AsianFontMapper(AsianFontMapper.JapaneseFont_Min,
       AsianFontMapper.JapaneseEncoding_H);
   Graphics2D g2 = tp.createGraphics(100, 50, mapper);
   java.awt.Font font = new java.awt.Font("Arial Unicode MS", java.awt.Font.PLAIN, 12);
   g2.setFont(font);
   g2.drawString(text, 0, 40);
   g2.dispose();
   cb.addTemplate(tp, 36, 780);
   document.close();
 }
