FontFactory:
The class FontFactory is used to create a Font. It is easiest way to get a new Font object. FontFactory has an API with methods that can construct a Font object of any kind. The constructed font is in a uniform way. There are some CID fonts which are not in it.

This constructor is used to create the object of the color. We pass three hexadecimal values to which gives the combination of colors.

Font.ITALIC:
This is used to set text ITALIC.

FontFactory.HELVETICA:
This is used to set text style HELVETICA.

The code of the program is given below:


import java.awt.Color;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

import com.lowagie.text.Chunk;

import com.lowagie.text.Document;

import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;

import com.lowagie.text.Font;

import com.lowagie.text.FontFactory;

import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont;

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

public class changeChunkColor {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception

              {

    System.out.println("FontColor");

    Document document = new Document();

    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,new 

FileOutputStream("changeChunkColor.pdf"));

    document.open();

          Paragraph paragraph;

      paragraph = new Paragraph("Roses");

      paragraph.add(new Chunk("india", FontFactory.getFont

(FontFactory.HELVETICA, Font.DEFAULTSIZE, Font.BOLD, new 

Color(0xFF, 0x00, 0x00))));

      document.add(paragraph);

      paragraph = new Paragraph("India");

      paragraph.add(new Chunk(".net", FontFactory.getFont

(FontFactory.HELVETICA, Font.DEFAULTSIZE, Font.ITALIC, new

 Color(0x00, 0x00, 0xFF))));

      document.add(paragraph);  

    document.close();

  }

}
