Apply the Customize font- family to PDF

Dear Support,

I like your dll very much, but it is not fullfilling my some requirements as :-

There is a list of requirement that i needed for converting my HTML text into PDF :-

1) Customized Font- Family basically Bookman Old Style applies to all elements of HTML.
2) Different Footer on left and right side .- Basically a quote on left side and page number on right side.

I have tried the first point with this code

string str = "<html><head><style>@font-face { font-family: Bookman Old Style; src: url(http://server.com/BOOKOS.TTF) format('truetype'); }</style> </head> <body>" + str+"</body>";

But still get no success, I am using the VS2010 and language is C#.

I am newbie to ASP.NET, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance !!!

Hello,

try the following:

pdfcrowd.Client client = new pdfcrowd.Client("***", "***");

string footer = @"<table cellspacing='0' style='margin:0;width:100%'>
<tr><td>quote</td><td style='text-align:right'>%p/%n</td></tr>
</table>";

string html = @"
<html>
  <head>
    <style>
      @font-face {
        font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';
        src: url('http://server.com/BOOKOS.TTF') format('truetype');
      }
      body { font-family: 'Bookman Old Style', serif; }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    Bookman Old Style
  </body>
</html>
";

fileStream = new FileStream("file.pdf", FileMode.CreateNew);

For e.g.

</table>";

string html = @"
<html>

@font-face {
font-family: 'MANGAL';
src: url('http://software.agraneeh.com/MANGALB.TTF') format('truetype');
}
body { font-family: 'MANGAL', serif; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
Bookman Old Style
</body>
</html>
";

fileStream = new FileStream("file.pdf", FileMode.CreateNew);
client.setFooterHtml(footer);
client.convertHtml(html, fileStream);
fileStream.Close();

It is not getting the font that i had given and it is displaying the font Arimo, Samyak (devnagari) and Sarai.

The code snippet works for me. You can verify it in our online conversion form which uses the same backend as the API. Paste the following to http://pdfcrowd.com/#convert_by_input and click the "Convert To PDF" button.

<html> 
<head> 
<style> 
@font-face { 
font-family: 'MANGAL'; 
src: url('http://software.agraneeh.com/MANGALB.TTF') format('truetype'); 
} 
body { font-family: 'MANGAL', serif; } 
</style> 
</head> 
<body> 
Bookman Old Style 
</body> 
</html>

It creates PDF with the Mangal font embedded, see the attached file.
