Hi Prakash, in iTextsharp, you can keep any bitmap image to your output PDF file. Now, a PDF reader cannot read all the fonts especially specific languages like Bengali, Telugu. It may be some words correct but you can see some mistakes around different words. To solve this, we need to generate a bitmap image from our text (in Bengali) and append to the pdfdocument on the fly. Already implemented such functionality but currently, I don't have my code handy. Please follow my steps here. step-1: Please convert your text to BitMap as given the below link. You can directly use the generic method provided here http://techxposer.com/2018/05/21/showing-language-text-screen-bitmap/ Step-2: Now, you need to convert your bitmap to iTextsharp Image and then add this to your main iTextsharp document as below doc.Open(); iTextSharp.text.Image pdfImage = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(image, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); doc.Add(pdfImage); doc.Close(); Please let me know if you face any issue here.
