RE: [iText-questions] Pdf Corruption

Okay, I figured out part of my problem is that I had hard coded an image that I was using in onOpenDocument and since it wasn’t there it wasn’t creating any of the pdf.

 

Now that’s taken care of I only have one other problem. I can’t seem to generate 2 pdf’s without reopening the program. When I try to create a second pdf the compiler tells me “The document has been closed. You can't add any Elements.” I am using JFileChooser to choose the filename. Here is the code I use to open the file. I am closing it too otherwise I wouldn’t be able to open the pdf. Thanks

            // created globally

            PdfWriter writer;

Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);

///

 

// inside  my printpdf method

         //display file dialog, so user can choose file to open

        JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();

        fileChooser.addFocusListener(chooserFocusListener);       

       

        fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY);

        int result = fileChooser.showSaveDialog(this);

       

        //if user clicked cancel button on dialog, return

        if(result == fileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION)

            return;

           

        File fileName = fileChooser.getSelectedFile(); // get selected file

       

        //display error if invalid

        if(fileName == null || fileName.getName().equals(""))

            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Invalid File Name","Invalid File Name",

            JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

       

        // create pdf report      

    

        try{             

            writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,

                                new FileOutputStream(fileName + ".pdf"));

           

            MyPageEvent event = new MyPageEvent();

            writer.setPageEvent(event);

            // step 3: we open the document

            document.open();

 

            //blab la bla add stuff to document

document.close();

        }

        catch(DocumentException de){

            System.err.println(de.getMessage());

        }

        catch (IOException ioe) {

            System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());

        }

Subject: [iText-questions] Pdf Corruption

 

I have my program in a jar and have itext in the same directory. I then run it using javaw from an icon on my desktop. On my personal computer my program creates the pdf’s perfectly. I have the full 1.4.2 jdk installed. I tried the exact same setup on several other windows xp machines but the pdf’s always say there was an error opening and that the file is damaged, a few times it said the files wasn’t closed and I noticed I couldn’t delete it. The pdf size is 0 and the pdf is created instantaneously rather than 2-3 seconds like on my machines. I really can’t figure out what’s wrong and I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience? I downloaded the 1.4.2 jre and installed in on the other computers, and even tried installing the jdk after that didn’t work. The only difference is that I have netbeans installed on my computer but since I’m compiling from an icon not netbeans that shouldn’t matter.

 

I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks!
