I'm having a bit of a problem with generating a pdf.
The create method seems to create a blank page, but nothing else - no text, no lines,
nothing...
If I get a PdfWriter with a FileOutputStream, then everything is what I am expecting
it to be. However, if I pass in a ByteArrayOutputStream, all I get is blank pages. Any
idea on what I'm doing wrong?
The code goes something like this:
public class MainClass
{
public void someMethod()
{
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
GenPdf.create(baos);
}
}
public class GenPdf
{
public static void create(OutputStream os)
{
try
{
Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER, 25, 25, 25,
25);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, os);
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
document.newPage();
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.COURIER,
BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
cb.setFontAndSize(bf, 11);
cb.beginText();
cb.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, "***********",
123, 123, 0);
cb.endText();
cb.setLineWidth(0.5f);
cb.moveTo(306f, 714f);
cb.lineTo(306f, 399f);
cb.stroke();
document.close();
}
catch (DocumentException de)
{
de.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
ioe.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Thanks,
AB
