    <p>I'm using <a href="http://pdfbox.apache.org/" rel="nofollow">PDFBox</a> and <a href="http://itextpdf.com" rel="nofollow">iText</a> to create a simple (just paragraphs) pdf document from various languages. Something like :</p> <p><strong>pdfBox</strong>:</p> <pre><code>private static void createPdfBoxDocument(File from, File to) { PDDocument document = null; try { document = new TextToPDF().createPDFFromText(new FileReader(from)); document.save(new FileOutputStream(to)); } finally { if (document != null) document.close(); } } private void createPdfBoxDoc() throws IOException, FileNotFoundException, COSVisitorException { PDDocument document = new PDDocument(); PDPage page = new PDPage(); document.addPage(page); PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page); PDType1Font font = PDType1Font.TIMES_ROMAN; contentStream.setFont(font, 12); contentStream.beginText(); contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(100, 400); contentStream.drawString("š"); contentStream.endText(); contentStream.close(); document.save("test.pdf"); document.close(); } </code></pre> <p><strong>itext</strong>:</p> <pre><code>private static Font blackFont = new Font(Font.FontFamily.COURIER, 12, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLACK); private static void createITextDocument(File from, File to) { Document document = new Document(); PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(to)); document.open(); addContent(document, getParagraphs(from)); document.close(); } private static void addContent(Document document, List&lt;String&gt; paragraphs) { for (int i = 0; i &lt; paragraphs.size(); i++) { document.add(new Paragraph(paragraphs.get(i), blackFont)); } } </code></pre> <p>The input files are encoded in UTF-8 and some languages of Unicode char set, like Russian alphabet etc., are not rendered properly in pdf. The Fonts in both libraries don't support Unicode charset I suppose and I can't find any documentation on how to add and use third party fonts. Could please anybody help me out with an example ?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
