Jasper PDF Report in Hindi

Question

The following code is used to create a PDF file. We have static content and some dynamic Hindi content. Hindi content does not appear in PDF at all. I added the jasperreports-fonts-5.5.1 jar, as in the classpath. The SansSerif font is used in JRXML and deployed to tomcat.

Well displayed in English

Hindi full content not visible

JasperReport js = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(<JRXML URL>);

        byte[] bytes = JasperRunManager.runReportToPdf(js, parameterMap,
                new JsonDataSource(location,"studentReport"));

        String filePath = "/var/www/webdav/pdf/" + studentId + ".pdf";

        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(filePath));

        fos.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
        fos.flush();
        fos.close();

Answer 1

You can use the font Lohit Hindifor static or dynamic fields that have Hindi values. Give it a try. It might work.
