how to create Persian PDF with iText

I know that many people may have asked this question before. I've read almost all of them`but it couldn't help me solve my problem. I'm using iText java library to generate a Persian PDF. I'm using the following

how to use PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL

code: 

String ruta = txtruta.getText();
    String contenido= txtcontenido.getText();
    try {
        FileOutputStream archivo = new FileOutputStream(ruta+".pdf");
        Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4,50,50,50,50);
          PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, archivo);
          doc.open();
          BaseFont bfComic = BaseFont.createFont("D:\\Font\\B Lotus.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
          Font font = new Font(bfComic, 12,Font.NORMAL);
           doc.add(new Paragraph(contenido,font));
       doc.close();
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"ok");

    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Eroor"+e);    
    }

Output: Problem

I succeeded

 private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         

      JFileChooser dlg = new JFileChooser();
               int option = dlg.showSaveDialog(this);
               if(option==JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
                  File f = dlg.getSelectedFile();
                  txtaddress.setText(f.toString());
               }
    
}                                        

private void jButton2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
    
    String ruta = txtaddress.getText();
    String con= content.getText();
    try {
          FileOutputStream archivo = new FileOutputStream(ruta+".pdf");
          Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4,50,50,50,50);
          PdfWriter Writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, archivo);
          doc.open();
          LanguageProcessor al = new ArabicLigaturizer();
          Writer.setRunDirection(PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL);
          BaseFont bfComic = BaseFont.createFont("D:\\Font\\titr.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
          Font font = new Font(bfComic, 12,Font.NORMAL);
          Paragraph p = new Paragraph(al.process(con),font);
          p.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_RIGHT);
          doc.add(p);
          doc.close();
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Yes");
       
    } catch (Exception e) {
           System.out.println("Eroor"+e);    
    }
     
}

I haven't worked with Persian language. But, I think your problem will be with the font (B Lotus.ttf) you used. In most of times using a registered Unicode font may solve the problem. Try again using a different font.

Also you can RTL a text phrase using following code.

PdfPCell pdfCell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(contenido, myUnicodePersianFont));
pdfCell.setRunDirection(PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL);

You will find out a similar question here.

Document.add() doesn't support RTL text. You'll have to use ColumnText.setRunDirection or PdfPTable.setRunDirection.
