Q: How to pass font name as string in pdf file with Java iText I am generating pdf report with few inputs like font name, font size. I tried to create a font using below code.
Font font = new Font(FontFamily.TIMES_ROMAN,50.0f,Font.UNDERLINE,BaseColor.RED);

Here, how pass font name that is TIMES_ROMAN as a string?

A: Here's a quick way on how you can achieve the desired behavior with iText 7:
final PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(new PdfWriter(DEST));
PdfFont font = PdfFontFactory.createFont(FontProgramFactory.createFont(StandardFonts.TIMES_ROMAN));

Style myStyle = new Style()
        .setFontSize(50)
        .setUnderline()
        .setFontColor(RED)
        .setFont(font);

try (final Document document = new Document(pdfDocument)) {
    document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World!").addStyle(myStyle));
    document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World!").setFont(font)
            .setFontSize(50)
            .setUnderline()
            .setFontColor(RED));
}

You can also define the font on a Document level (I'm showing Style and directly on the Paragraph).
