JRXML file looks fine in Jaspersoft Studio and JasperViewer, looks terrible as PDF

[zbigniew.nitecki]

Hi,

I have a problem with my JRXML file created in Jaspersoft Studio. When I'm previewing the file in Studio, or when I'm using the Java class JasperViewer - everything looks PERFECT, exactly as in the Report Design view.

But when I am trying to export it to the PDF file like this:

InputStream invoiceJasper = MainJasper.class.getResourceAsStream("/invoices/invoice.jrxml");InputStream taskTableJasper = MainJasper.class.getResourceAsStream("/invoices/invoice_sub.jrxml");JasperDesign mainReportDesign = JRXmlLoader.load(invoiceJasper);JasperDesign tableReportDesign = JRXmlLoader.load(taskTableJasper);JasperReport report = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(mainReportDesign);JasperReport table = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(tableReportDesign);mainReport = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, map, new JREmptyDataSource());tableReport = JasperFillManager.fillReport(table, map, new JREmptyDataSource());List<JasperPrint> printList = new ArrayList<>();printList.add(mainReport);printList.add(tableReport);JRPdfExporter exporter = new JRPdfExporter();exporter.setExporterInput(SimpleExporterInput.getInstance(printList)); //Set as export input my list with JasperPrint sexporter.setExporterOutput(new SimpleOutputStreamExporterOutput("/home/znitecki/output.pdf")); //or any other out streaamSimplePdfExporterConfiguration configuration = new SimplePdfExporterConfiguration();configuration.setCreatingBatchModeBookmarks(true); //add this so your bookmarks work, you may set other parametersexporter.setConfiguration(configuration);exporter.exportReport();[/code]

Everything is falling apart. The main design remains intact, but the font setting is lost (In the designer I am using Times New Roman font), and almost all the polish characters used in text (ąłęćźż) are missing. They just dissapear, when I have a word: BĘDĄCYCH, all that remains in the PDF file is BDCYCH. It also looses any styling (i have a few places where I am using markup = html, and the bold text is no longer bold...)

THE SAME THING happens when I am trying to export the PDF file FROM Jaspersoft Studio. A regular preview is 100% correct with correct fonts and polish characters, but the export function looses all the fonts and html styling too.

I am working on UBUNTU 18.04, I have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed...

Am I missing something in my operating system? or in the Jaspersoft Studio configuration? Or the JRXML file configuration? Or something in the JAVA code?

Are you using font extensions? Most font problems with pdf is with font extensions.

I have solved the problem with exporting from the Jaspersoft Studio by adding the font path in Window->Preferences->Fonts. The problem with Java-side was simple to solve, I have found out that I have to select used fonts from Window-Preferences-Fonts and export them as a Jar (as fonts.jar), and add them to my classpath.

I am using Gradle so i have created a libs directory in the root folder of the project, and the configuration looks like this:

build.gradle:

dependencies {   ...   compile files('libs/fonts.jar')   ...}[/code]
