Subject: [iText-questions] unicode 3.1/hkscs support

Hello all,

I am reposting this question from the forum.
The current CJKFont does not seem to include support for HKSCS (HongKong Supplementary character set) characters, and hence I am forced to embed a TTF. Unfortunately, the TTF does not contain support for other characters such as latin1 and basic punctuations, I've tried using MS Arial Unicode but it contains only chracters until unicode 2.0, I am generating the pdf based on the contents of the database, so it is almost impossible to pre-determine the font to be used. Is there a solution to this problem? will it be possible to modify something in the code to allow it to specify two or more fonts in a call to new Chunk() or new Phrase() such that it will automatically search the character in font2 if it is no in font1?

Thanks in advance,
Zhen

You have three options:

- If your pdf is to be read with Acrobat 5 with the Adobe CJK font pack then all that is required is to tweak the font supplement from Adobe-CNS1-0 to Adobe-CNS1-3. I'll have this in the next release, it will still work in Acrobat 4.0 but without the new characters, of course.

- your font contains the characters from Unicode block \uff00 (Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms). See http://www.lowagie.com/iText/faq.html#preformattedtext.

- Otherwise it's just a matter of programming although I must say that a font that doesn't include \u0020-\u007e characters is really weird. The sequence is as follows:

1 - create two fonts, the HK and TIMES for example.
2 - read the text from the database
3 - divide the text in chunks each one using a font depending on the character range. 4 - assemble the chunks into a phrase and use the phrase.

Best Regards,
Paulo Soares

HI,
I am trying to save the pdf file by popping up a Save As dialogue box. This works fine with IE 6.0 and IE 5.5 (basic) but in IE 5.5 SP1,2 the browser opens a Save as Dialogue box and saves the HTML page of the calling page, (In my case the frame-set page).

I am using the following code. Can someone help me fix this one. This is urgent please.

document = new Document(PageSize.A4.rotate(), 10, 10, 10, 10);

// Create a Writer that listens to the document and writes the document into the PDF.
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, bytesToWrite);

// Open the document.
document.open();

// Call method(to set data) with document and 2D array of data as arguments.

loadDocument();//loads the document object.

document.close();

                response.setHeader("Expires", "-1");
                response.setContentType("application/pdf");
                          response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",

                        bytesToWrite.writeTo(out);
                        bytesToWrite.flush();

                        bytesToWrite.close();

Subject: [iText-questions] Adding a Phrase in PdfPTableEvent.tableLayout()

Hi!

I'm looking for a way to add a Phrase (or some Chunks) to a document within PdfPTableEvent.tableLayout(), so the real problem seems to be adding a Phrase or Chunks to the PdfContentByte object.

As I've only little experience with this "low level" PDF stuff, I'm in trouble ;)

I would be glad if someone had a hint for me.

TIA,
Carsten

Hi,

Am trying to grab info from a text area on a screen, to then show on a pdf report. However, I have a problem with unwanted carriage returns! I.e., if I typed in my text area:-

1
2
3

4

...it appears in my report as:-

1

2

3

4

In effect I want to be able to disable the carriage returns as it is screwing up the presentation of my data! Is this a known 'problem'? Any ideas on how I might fix this. Would really appreciate someguidance on this!

Regards

Marc

You can fix that by doing some programming. It's not that difficult to eliminate some CR from a text string.

You must pass the 8 digits to the method. If you want to calculate the checksum use barcodeEAN.calculateEANParity(), see the javadoc. An example:

            BarcodeEAN codeEAN = new BarcodeEAN();
            codeEAN.setCodeType(codeEAN.EAN8);
            codeEAN.setCode("55123457");
            Image imageEAN = codeEAN.createImageWithBarcode(cb, null, null);

Use a PdfPTableEvent to get the cell positions.
