Display a part of the text as bold in PDF?

[aleena]

Hello,

 

I am facing a problem with styled text.

 

My requirement is” I want to display a part of the text as bold “

 

 For e.g. Heavy rain today

 

I am using styled text and enclosed rain with <b> </b> tag. My source is

 

<textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" isBlankWhenNull="true" evaluationTime="Now" hyperlinkType="None"  hyperlinkTarget="Self" >

                                                            <reportElement

                                                                        x="44"

                                                                        y="23"

                                                                        width="307"

                                                                        height="17"

                                                                        key="textField-1"/>

                                                            <box topBorder="None" topBorderColor="#000000" leftBorder="None" leftBorderColor="#000000" rightBorder="None" rightBorderColor="#000000" bottomBorder="None" bottomBorderColor="#000000"/>

                                                            <textElement isStyledText="true">

                                                                        <font fontName="Arial" pdfFontName="Helvetica" size="10" isBold="false"/>

                                                            </textElement>

                                                <textFieldExpression   class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA["Heavy <b>rain </b> today"]]></textFieldExpression>

                                                </textField>

 

 

When I execute this report with HTML preview I am getting the result as expected “. Heavy rain today

” 

but when I execute this report with PDF preview I am not getting the bold text  and I am getting  .” Heavy rain today “. I want to generate PDF as output. So how can I display part of the text as bold in PDF

 

Please help me….

The <b></b> tags no longer work on text fields, you need to use <style isBold="true" pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold">your bold text</style> to make it work. The Helvetica-bold can be replaced with other font names if you are using something different. The quotes must be included and if you are using a text_field and are enclosing the entire text in quotes then an escape character will need to be added before each extra quote such as <style isBold="true" pdfFontName="Helvetica-Bold">.
