I’m generating a PDF using cfdocument (a Swiss postal pay slip) that needs
a custom OCRB font for the scannable code line at the bottom. Any fairly
current advice on how to get custom fonts to work in cfdocument?

Thanks in advance,

Nando

Hi Nando,

I’ve written a blog article a while ago how to do this. See here:

Yes, I’v written it in German :slight_smile:

Hope this helps.

Best,

It’s not a direct answer to your question. We took a different approach to
create scan codes, using zxing to create an image…

To make it work, we stick the core-3.1.0.jar and javase-3.1.0.jar files in
the tomcat/lib directory and the following will create a code-128 barcode:

<cfset format=createObject(‘java’,‘com.google.zxing.BarcodeFormat’)>
<cfset
writer=createObject(‘java’,‘com.google.zxing.oned.Code128Writer’).init()>
<cfset
matrix=createObject(‘java’,‘com.google.zxing.client.j2se.MatrixToImageWriter’)>
<cfset barcode=writer.encode(‘123456’,format.CODE_128,75,75)>

but in general:

1) add your font to the fonts folder in fonts.jar archive
2) edit pdf4fonts.properties to include your font with a name

(escape spaces with a )
3) restart Tomcat
