I have a String that consists of a constant part and a variable part. I want the variable to be formatted using a regular font within the text paragraph, wherea

Answer 1

Right now you are creating a Paragraph using a single font: fontsmallbold. You want to create a Paragraph that uses two different fonts:

Font regular = new Font(FontFamily.HELVETICA, 12);
Font bold = Font font = new Font(FontFamily.HELVETICA, 12, Font.BOLD);
Paragraph p = new Paragraph("NAME: ", bold);
p.add(new Chunk(CC_CUST_NAME, regular));

As you can see, we create a Paragraph with content "NAME: " that uses font bold. Then we add a Chunk to the Paragraph with CC_CUST_NAME in font regular.

You can also use this in the context of a PdfPCell in which case you create a Phrase that uses two fonts:

Font regular = new Font(FontFamily.HELVETICA, 12);
Font bold = Font font = new Font(FontFamily.HELVETICA, 12, Font.BOLD);
Phrase p = new Phrase("NAME: ", bold);
p.add(new Chunk(CC_CUST_NAME, regular));
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(p);
