Hello.
You deserialize report template, but not run render, therefore report is empty.
Please add

Code: Select all

stiReport.render();

before export.

Hello.
You must use font wich include Chinese symbols (for example Arial Unicode)
Browsers use system Fallback font functions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallback_font) to display symbols from other fonts, but PDF can't use it.

Hello.
How can I use font wich include Chinese symbols on java code? and can you give me an API?

[Vadim]

Hello.
You must setup font for each components you need. For example in our system font "Arial Unicode MS" include Chinese symbols, by designer or by code:

Code: Select all

((StiText) report.GetComponentByName("Text1")).setFont(new StiFont("Arial Unicode MS", 8));

Or you can replace font name in .mrt file in text editor.

Thank you ,it is working.
But it can be tedious to maintain because it imposes a duplication of code, I must setup the font on the .jsp and the java code on exporting to PDF file

It also too difficulty to set a variety of fonts on the report
