[iText-questions] Regarding the patch complex script support - ID: 2739845
Hi, With reference to the patch mentioned at URL https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=2739845group_id=15255atid=315255 The patch status is Closed and status is Accepted. So I assume this patch for supporting complex indic scripts is now available in iText. Could you please let us know the version of iText in which this patch was introduced? Currently we are using iText 2.1.0 - which doesn't work with indic scripts.

Kumar, Purushotam wrote: I was looking for an article to split the PDF on the basis of size of the PDF but couldn't get one. How would that make sense? Suppose that you have a PDF with 10 pages with size 101 KB. Now if you split that PDF into 10 separate pages, what do you expect? You could end up with 10 PDFs each with a size of about 11 KB. 11 KB x 10 the original 101 KB, but that's normal. However, you can also end up with 10 PDFs each with a size of 100 KB. For instance: if every page in the original PDF contains an image of about 99 KB, that image will have to be present in the 10 separate PDFs. So the 101 KB PDF will result in a total of 1000 KB if you split it. Please do some more reading about PDF first, then come back once you really know what you are trying to achieve. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info -- ___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/

Can we get some more information about the problem? Like how to test and simulate it? We would like to see if we can work on it and come up with an acceptable patch. Believe me, this patch will have great impact in the Indian market. A solution to this problem should result in a substantial increase the usage of iText (and other softwares that use iText e.g. JasperReports) in the Indian sub-continent. We have tried out the below mentioned patch and it appeared to serve our purpose. However we will really appreciate if you can provide the exact details of the metrics/positioning problems so that we can try to resolve those.

Hi Raman, We have looked at that as well, and we appreciate the interesting approach you have taken there. However I'm sure there is no denying that a fix/enhancement in iText would be the most elegant and performant solution. That is why we are keen on using the iText patch. If it doesn't work out, we will most probably fall back on your solution :) Thanks and Regards, Shireesh On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 1:22 PM, RKVS Raman rkvsra...@gmail.com wrote: I suggest you have a look at Indic-Jasper http://code.google.com/p/indic-jasper/ Best Regards -Raman --- RKVS Raman http://sites.google.com/site/rkvsraman On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 1:11 PM, Shireesh Anjal anjalshire...@gmail.com wrote: Can we get some more information about the problem?

Re: [iText-questions] Splitting a PDF on the basis of file size
There are several approaches to this. It is difficult to get a precise cut-off point, but I assume that an approximate cutoff size is sufficient. I give you three possible ways below. I am assuming that the pdf consists of records. Each record consists of information that need to be kept in the same pdf. Approach one (assumes homogenous record size): Cut after N records. Assumes that all records adds a similar size to the pdf. Use trial and error to find a suitable number of records. Approach two (works with heterogenous records): Cut after N pages. As long as the pdf is N pages, add another record. Use trial and error to find a suitable number of pages. Approach three: Cut after N bytes. Obtain the file handle of the Document and check the current size. If the size is N, add another record. Note that you need to flush the document before measuring. Also note that some information won't be written until you close the pdf, so expect the pdf to become a little larger when you close it. I'm no expert on pdf syntax or the inner workings of iText, so if any approach is a bad idea, please enlighten me. /Klas Kumar, Purushotam skrev 20:59: I was looking for an article to split the PDF on the basis of size of the PDF but couldn't get one.

[iText-questions] No RTF Support?
Hello, I wrote a question about handling page events based on using the iText 2.1.7 API. Someone wrote back that I wouldn't get any support on RTF on this list. However, isn't the API the same for the version 2.1.7 except for a few minor differences? Here's my question again. I'd appreciate some ideas. If I can't get RTF help using iText on this list, where can I get it? :( Bruno? Thanks! /I'm using iText in the standard programming model using the API, version 2.1.7 (for example, Paragraph para = new Paragraph (...)). I've run into a problem, however, since I now need to have headers print out on the output (*RTF* file, in my case) the value of one of the variables at the top of each page. So, my question is whether I need to take the ArrayList of objects (my data passed to my iText program) and create an intermediate XML file that I'd parse with iText SAX capabilities or is there a simpler way? In other words, can I control what's actually printed at the top of each page (and know when the top of each page is) using just the iText API? I sincerely look forward to any suggestions.

If I can't get RTF help using iText on this list, where can I get it? :( You're using iText under the MPL/LGPL. That means that you'll have to help yourself, or search for paid support. The people who have written the RTF package no longer had the time to maintain the package (that's why it has been removed), so I fear that they won't have the time to offer paid support either.

Jack, I don't want to disrupt the general flow of the iText discussion but if you are working in .net there are several other strategies for working with RTF, depending on what you actually are trying to do. If this applies and you email a description of your objective, I might be able to suggest something. (I have never looked at the iText RTF package).

So, my question is whether I need to take the ArrayList of objects (my data passed to my iText program) and create an intermediate XML file that I'd parse with iText SAX capabilities or is there a simpler way? In other words, can I control what's actually printed at the top of each page (and know when the top of each page is) using just the iText API? I sincerely look forward to any suggestions.

Re: [iText-questions] Create a PDF from submission of a web form?
Thanks - fortunately didn't spend too much time and in the process did learn a few things about itext. I will definitely look to purchase the book but can you tell me if the pdf creation from web-based forms can also include full-on formatting with images, text, etc. The form we want to convert to pdf on the fly is somewhat involved and precise - and we would want to maintain that formatting along w/ the user-input data as precisely as possible (but in pdf form, of course).

[iText-questions] table in header and page number on footer
Anybody knows how to do that?
I spent a lot of time on that but could not figure out...
I know how to create a table but do not know how to put it into the header.
Here is my code:
create pdf code:
_event e = new _event();
pw.PageEvent = e;
e.OnStartPage(pw, document);
e.OnEndPage(pw, document);
e.OnOpenDocument(pw, document);
e.OnCloseDocument(pw, document);
event:
public class _event : PdfPageEventHelper
{
//on start event will add logo.jpg on header. no problem.
public override void OnStartPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
{ iTextSharp.text.Image imghead =
iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(C:/MyWorks/logo80.jpg);
imghead.SetAbsolutePosition(0, 0);
PdfContentByte cbhead = writer.DirectContent;
PdfTemplate tp = cbhead.CreateTemplate(600, 250);
tp.AddImage(imghead);
cbhead.AddTemplate(tp, 0, 715);
Phrase headPhraseImg = new Phrase(cbhead + ,
FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.TIMES_ROMAN, 7,
iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL));
Header header = new Header(test, test);
base.OnStartPage(writer, document);
//not sure how to add a table into the header.
}
//following code were taken from the itext in action book. But it does not
work. The footer won't show. do not know why.
string header;
PdfTemplate total;
public void setHeader(string header)
{
this.header = header;
}
public void OnOpenDocument(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
{
total = writer.DirectContent.CreateTemplate(300, 160);
base.OnOpenDocument(writer, document);
}
public void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
{
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
table.SetWidths(new int[] { 24, 24, 3 });
table.SetTotalWidth(new float[] { 50 });
table.LockedWidth = true;
table.DefaultCell.FixedHeight = 20;
table.DefaultCell.Border = Rectangle.BOTTOM_BORDER;
table.AddCell(header);

table.AddCell(string.Format(Page %d of, writer.PageNumber));
PdfPCell cell = new
PdfPCell(iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(total));
cell.Border = Rectangle.BOTTOM_BORDER;
table.AddCell(cell);
table.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, 34, 700, writer.DirectContent);

I didn't want to bore the thread with our intended solution but if it will help set the context that you need to be able to answer to the question then here you are: 1.)We are serving a web form to students who may or may not have Adobe Acrobat - hence the need for a web-based form. 2.)We need a complete snapshot of the form along with the student answers stored in our imaging system for government-required record keeping. 3.)The form has graphics, logos, etc and is formatted in a fairly precise manner. 4.)Our imaging system requires files to be in PDF or TIFF format.

[iText-questions] Image Speed
Although I looked through a few different threads, I couldn't find anything that answered my exact problem (apologies if I missed something). I am creating a PDF document that needs to support many images - upwards of 20 unique images. Generating the PDF takes ~1 second per image (my testing determined images are the bottleneck), which is a problem as I need to generate these PDFs dynamically, and this is just too long to wait :( ... Here is the code I am using for each image: image = Image.getInstance(url); image.setAbsolutePosition(left, top - depth); image.scaleAbsolute(width, depth); d.add(image); About half of the time per image is consumed by image = Image.getInstance(url); - unfortunately, I don't think there's an alternative here, however if anyone has a faster way of doing this, that'd be appreciated. However, the other time consumption is due to actually adding the images to the document - my question is if there's a way to speed up this step. Of course, if this is the best performance I can expect from iText, that would be great to know too, so that I can start looking into other PDF libraries.

Re: [iText-questions] Blank PDF after it is transfered through SMTP
Thank you for pointing out shave bytes. In fact, this time it is inflated bytes. Comparing the pdf file generated directly and the one transferred through SMTP using content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable, all 0A is inflated to 0D 0A and all 0D is also inflated to 0D 0A. There is no other difference. Just this minor inflation blows up acrobat reader and it shows up as blank pdf. (There is no such inflation if base64 is used as content-transfer-encoding.) So the pdf generated by iText contains either 0A or 0D but not 0D 0A together. Is this by design? Or is it configurable? P.S.: all test is on Windows platform.

Of course, if this is the best performance I can expect from iText, that would be great to know too, so that I can start looking into other PDF libraries. Presumably you'd like to get some indication that the other libraries could be faster by determing that there is a better code or algorithm alternative to that used by itext ( native code may be faster too). It could just be that the task takes a lot of work. Often, however, you find things like memory usage rather than instruction count become the limiting issues- if you have lots of big images, VM will still thrash them around unless you happen to get lucky. In this case you could probably get tremenduous speed ups by only keeping what you need in memory and writing completed stuff out as it is ready etc. The answer of course is that you should dig down deeper and see what the issue is more precisely.

A canonical model for encoding is presented in RFC 2049 for this reason. 6.7. Quoted-Printable Content-Transfer-Encoding The Quoted-Printable encoding is intended to represent data that largely consists of octets that correspond to printable characters in the US-ASCII character set. It encodes the data in such a way that the resulting octets are unlikely to be modified by mail transport. If the data being encoded are mostly US-ASCII text, the encoded form of the data remains largely recognizable by humans. A body which is entirely US-ASCII may also be encoded in Quoted-Printable to ensure the integrity of the data should the message pass through a character-translating, and/or line-wrapping gateway.
