Re: [iText-questions] Help Bruno Out !

You are writing for assistance. The least you can do it is first try your best, and then do the bare minimum to allow Bruno or others to help with the minimum of effort on their part. I suggest that neither Bruno, nor anyone else, even attempt to answer a person's question regarding a code problem, unless you can do the following javac -classpath itext.jar SomeClass.java java -classpath itext.jar SomeClass and the program MUST compile ! The submitter must provide SomeClass.java that compiles without errors. If you cannot get it to compile without errors, you need to start with some basic java knowledge, and/or bother someone on a coding java mailing list. You need to pare down your problem to the minimum amount of code that clearly demonstrates the issue. If you cannot do this, no one should attempt to answer your question. I am betting however that is doing this, most of you will solve your own problems, leaving Bruno and others more time to enhance iText or do whatever else they might enjoy more than wasting time.

Re: [iText-questions] Any way to autosize column widths for tables
What do you mean by manually? Relative widths work for me. You could subclass Table to do different things but since iText already wraps Cell content I don't expect any external algorithm to do much better than what you'll get by using relative widths. No calculation, just--honestly--gut feel on the weight of a column. You can also customize split characters by setting a custom SplitCharacter on your Chunk(s). You could also do this in a Table subclass (sometimes this is easier when you want to automatically do something to all your Chunks, for example). -Matt --- Alan Berezin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there anyway to get iText to reflow a Table by autosizing the columns widths.

RE: FW: [iText-questions] HTML to PDF Question...
keep the list copied! :) Now, as to your last Exception, it just looks the like xml jar wasn't on the classpath. I would double-check. I ran your Class1 code with the following test.html: PSTRONGRelated course structure/STRONGBRThe quick brown fox jumps overBRThe quick pink fish jumps over the dolphin's nose/P and got an error about the BR tag; since the HtmlParser is using an XML parser behind the scenes, your HTML apparently needs to be X(well-formed)HTML. When I changed to: PSTRONGRelated course structure/STRONGBR/The quick brown fox jumps overBR/The quick pink fish jumps over the dolphin's nose/P I still got a bad PDF. I added html and body tags around the content and got a good PDF.

But you just want it to print to the user's default (Windows) printer?

Re: [iText-questions] Help with page break

Re: [iText-questions] Help with page break
I have never had occasion to use String.split() but it
does look like it should work something like this:
String[] reportPage
= String.split(read(filename), \x0c);
for (int i = 0;
reportPage != null i reportPage.length ; i++)
{
if (i 0) doc.newPage();
doc.add(new Paragraph(new Phrase(11, reportPage[i],

Currently I'm not looking at the file at all. The
text lives in the
database, and I stuff it into a Chunk like so:
String filename = (String) req.getAttribute(
filename );
String report = read( filename ); //this reads the
text from the database
//7.5 point font
Chunk chunk = new Chunk( report,
FontFactory.getFont( FontFactory.COURIER,
7.5f ) );
//line spacing is too much, use Phrase not Paragraph
//doc.add( new Paragraph( chunk ) );
//# is the leading or line spacing
Phrase phrase = new Phrase( 11, chunk );
doc.add( new Paragraph( phrase ) );
Do I need to parse the String containing the report
text? Could that be
done with String.split()? Or is there something I
can embed in the text
file that will tell iText to page break?

Re: [iText-questions] Question about adding images to existing PDF
This can be done using the Barcode and PdfStamper classes. In general, you should probably: -create a PdfReader to read your source PDF and obtain its page count -create a PdfStamper to write the stamped output -create your Barcode subclass instance (eg Barcode39) -get a PdfTemplate from your bar code's getTemplateWithBarcode() method. You may be able to use the PdfContentByte returned from your PdfStamper's getOverContent(1). -for each page in the stamper: call stamper.getOverContent(pageNum).addTemplate(barcodeTemplate, ...translation matrix stuff...) That's what I pieced together fairly quickly from the API...

Subject: [iText-questions] Example of HTML please
wait screen before PDF
generation
Hello all. I've been working on the capability of
a please wait screen
that will display while my PDF is being generated.
I got some code from
Bruno and I've been trying to make it work to no
avail. What the code is
supposed to do is write to the output stream in
HTML format the please
wait screen and refresh every 3 seconds. If when
it refreshes the
document
is done, change the output stream to PDF and send
the document. I have it
to the point that it seems to switch to PDF but
never displays the
document
(which at this point is just a page with the word
test on it).
The code separated into two files: MyPdfGenerator
and PleaseWait Servlet.
I've included the two pieces of code below. Any
ideas/comments would be
very much appreciated. Once I get this working
I'll post to the list for
future reference. Thanks,
Kenny

RE: [iText-questions] Fonts on Unix
1 and 2 sound right (although I wouldn't think there is truly a concept of font installation in a basic Unix environment, hence my use of the word add as in have the file present), but honestly, your final statement is beyond my experience.

Re: [iText-questions] Question about line height for paging
There is a FAQ entry on this that appears to advocate
putting the entire contents of the file into a String
and adding that to the document in a single Paragraph.
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/faq.html#preformattedtext
-Matt
--- Alex, Ian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I am having a problem with writing a Unix-created
document to PDF using
iText. Unix output files don't use any fonts and
there is minimal spacing
between lines (using the lpr output). My algorithm
was to read each line
in from the original file and then write it to PDF
landscape document with
the appropriate font (Courier) to preserve the
alignment, just using code
like this:
String line;
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream(PDFname));
BaseFont bf1 = BaseFont.createFont(Courier,
BaseFont.WINANSI,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
bf1.setDirectTextToByte(true);
Font font = new Font(bf1, (float)10, Font.NORMAL);
Document document = new
Document(PageSize.A4.rotate(), 0, 0, 0, 0);
document.open();
document.setLinesRequired(56);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
FileReader(inFile));
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
document.add(new Paragraph(line,font));
}
This didn't work since each *line* occupied a large
height (twice the size
as the text height regardless of font). I wanted to
adjust this but
couldn't. I saw a class in the API called
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfLine
that has a height() method but no get methods to
adjust the height.
Furthermore, there is no binding between PdfLine
objects and the Document
class.
Next I tried mapping each page to a table so that
all the cells would fit.
The number of lines in each page of the unix file
was 56.My code for
this looked something like:
String line;
cnt=1;
Document document = new
Document(PageSize.A4.rotate(), 0, 0, 0, 0);
document.open();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
FileReader(inFile));
Table datatable;
datatable = new Table(1);
datatable.setWidth(160);
datatable.setDefaultCellBorderWidth(0);
atatable.setDefaultHorizontalAlignment(0);
datatable.setDefaultRowspan(1);
datatable.setSpaceBetweenCells(0);
datatable.setBorderWidth(0);
datatable.setCellsFitPage(true);
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
BaseFont bf1 = BaseFont.createFont(Courier,
BaseFont.WINANSI,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
bf1.setDirectTextToByte(true);
cell = new Cell(new Phrase(padStringWidth(line,
132), new Font(bf1, 10,
Font.COURIER)));
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
cell.setVerticalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_TOP);
cell.setColspan(1);
cell.setRowspan(1);
cell.setNoWrap(true);
// cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
cell.setBorderColor(java.awt.Color.gray);
datatable.addCell(cell);
if (cnt == 56) {
document.add(datatable);
document.newPage();
datatable = new Table(1);
datatable.setWidth(160);
datatable.setDefaultCellBorderWidth(0);
datatable.setDefaultHorizontalAlignment(0);
datatable.setDefaultRowspan(1);
datatable.setBorderWidth(0);
datatable.setSpaceBetweenCells(0);
datatable.setCellsFitPage(true);
cnt=0;
}
cnt++;
}
Please note that I used
cell.setBorderColor(java.awt.Color.gray) in order to
display the cell boundaries. In experimenting with
different font sizes, I
noted that just as was the case with just lines, the
text height only
occupied half the cell (the cell size increased
proportionally along with
the font - just as with lines). I used various
suggestions I saw previously
such as calling datatable.setBorderWidth(0),
datatable.setSpaceBetweenCells(0)
datatable.setCellsFitPage(true) and none
of these worked.
The most promising suggestion I saw was from
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/1225/match=line+h
eight which suggested using the height method of the
Cell class (inherited
from Rectangle). height() is a get method so I
instead thought of
working with the setBottom() setTop() methods
(inherited by Cell from
Rectangle). It compiled OK, but I got the run-time
error:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Dimensions
of a Cell are attributed
aut
omagically. See the FAQ.
at com.lowagie.text.Cell.setBottom(Unknown
Source)
at TestPDF.putPDF(TestPDF.java:158)
at TestPDF.run(TestPDF.java:28)
at TestPDF.main(TestPDF.java:17)
Could you give me some suggestions as to how to
adjust my application so
that I can reduce the height of a line (or cell)
holding text.
Thanks for your attention.

Re: [iText-questions] New release itext-paulo-113
Well, that's just it. Seems that if the metadata in the catalog is always to be XMP XML, then the solution is pretty much ready-made based on what I have done. The XMP is, as far as I can tell, RDF XML embedded in ?xpacket tags. These are the only part that are peculiar to XMP (this may be an oversimplified approach as I have not absorbed the entire XMP spec, but it's a start). The problem is that getMetadata() already returns the whole stream, including these external tags. This suggests that setMetadata() should accept similar data, and leads me to the idea that we can set up the ?xpacket tags in another class. Setting these for output is easy. If we provide comparable input functionality, however, it would probably be most sensible to use an XML parser to strip off the ?xpacket tags. Using the Jena-RDF API I didn't have to worry about this because the package is equipped to find embedded RDF and discard the containing XML. The simplest thing, then, might just be to include a static method String xmpWrap(String rdf) or some such on PdfStamper and recommend Jena for processing and morphing the RDF. The most versatile approach, on the other hand, would be to include a facility for retrieving the embedded RDF from the metadata. In this case, again, we would be best off using an XML parser, and that brings up the question of whether this might belong in iTextXML.jar, and/or in a package com.lowagie.text.pdf.xmp? If we can decide the best approach, I can implement. -Matt --- Paulo Soares [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know nothing about XMP and I don't even know what's that for.

RE: [iText-questions] write.os is not visible
I had the same problem as Sandy and Bruno.
Technically, the protected os reference is defined in
com.lowagie.text. This should be visible within the
package and to subclasses. Therefore it should not be
visible to PdfBody, and this is consistent with the
error we receive. However when I try to illustrate
this concept with a simple example, it works as
(un)expected. I compiled with Sun javac 1.3.1 and
1.4.0 and have not been able to figure out the
difference.
Anyway, I had to patch PdfWriter to get it to work.
What I did:
1) Modify the super ctor call to wrap os in an
OutputStreamCounter.
2) Add this method to provide access to os and
conveniently cast the OutputStreamCounter:
/** for inner classes */
private OutputStreamCounter getOutputStreamCounter()
{
return (OutputStreamCounter)os;
}//end getOutputStreamCounter
3) Modify the various modified points in PdfBody.add*
methods' references from writer.os to
writer.getOutputStreamCounter().
--- Paulo Soares [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
That's a compiler or IDE problem on your part.
The PdfWriter definition is:

So, os is visible.

Re: [iText-questions] pdf file in IE
I think there are two problems: One, IE wants to know the size of the PDF as you send it. This means you can't write your PDF directly to your ServletOutputStream. You have to write to a ByteArrayOutputStream so that you can set the stream size on your ServletOutputStream. The second problem is that IE sends something like three requests, so you have to check the headers of the request to find out whether the entire document is actually being requested. The first time I think it is requesting the content type because this is how it determines that the Acrobat plugin should be the target for the file. -Matt --- David Thielen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi; I know this has been asked answered before but I never looked at those e-mails before.

Re: [iText-questions] PDF's as Templates
Still, according to that section of code, there are
two places where the NPE could be thrown: one, at
prs.addXObject() and the other at
template.getIndirectReference(). It looks as though
the PageResources object should have been initialized
down the chain when you called Document.open(). This
appears to be an integral part of PDF output in iText
so I would be very hesitant to think that the problem
lies here. What if you added in your code these debug
statements:
PdfImportedPage template1
= writer.getImportedPage(reader1, 1);
PdfImportedPage template2
= writer.getImportedPage(reader2, 1);
PdfImportedPage template3
= writer.getImportedPage(reader3, 1);
System.err.println(
template1= + String.valueOf(template1));
System.err.println(
template2= + String.valueOf(template2));
System.err.println(
template3= + String.valueOf(template3));
just for kicks?

Re: [iText-questions] PDF's as Templates
Wow, I have no explanation for that! Wiser heads than

Still, according to that section of code, there
are
two places where the NPE could be thrown: one, at
prs.addXObject() and the other at
template.getIndirectReference(). It looks as
though
the PageResources object should have been
initialized
down the chain when you called Document.open().
This
appears to be an integral part of PDF output in
iText
so I would be very hesitant to think that the
problem
lies here. What if you added in your code these
debug
statements:
PdfImportedPage template1
= writer.getImportedPage(reader1, 1);
PdfImportedPage template2
= writer.getImportedPage(reader2, 1);
PdfImportedPage template3
= writer.getImportedPage(reader3, 1);
System.err.println(
template1= + String.valueOf(template1));
System.err.println(
template2= + String.valueOf(template2));
System.err.println(
template3= + String.valueOf(template3));
just for kicks?

According to that section of code, it appears
that
the PageResources

public void addTemplate(PdfTemplate
template,
float a, float b,
float c, float d, float e, float f) {
checkWriter();
checkNoPattern(template);
PdfName name =
writer.addDirectTemplateSimple(template);
PageResources prs = getPageResources();

So I'm wondering if maybe there's one more method
call I should be
doing to get a PageResources object hooked up...
