I fail to see how purchasing a $50 book online, waiting 6-8 business days for delivery, and spending the next week reading it would "save me a lot of time". I'm just using itext to generate and stitch together a couple of simple pages. If the library and api are worth anything, I shouldn't need to read a book for that.
And I merely asked for a nudge in the right direction, "suggestions or links to pages I might read". I looked through the faq and api before posting, and I wasn't asking for anyone to do my homework for me. Of course it's "perfectly understandable" to someone familiar with the library. The point is that it's not obvious to someone new. http://api.itextpdf.com/com/itextpdf/text/pdf/PdfContentByte.html#addTemplate(com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfTemplate, float, float, float, float, float, float) just says "Adds a template to this content." and each argument is only described as "an element of the transformation matrix". With this kind of weak documentation, is one to immediately buy and read the book, or perhaps just ask for a quick pointer on a mailing list first. You've got a bit of an attitude problem, conveniently hidden behind an anonymous email address and an unsigned reply. Good luck! 1T3XT info wrote: > Eric Palmitesta wrote: >> I've followed a tutorial to merge two pdf files > > Instead of reading "a" tutorial, you can save a lot of time > by reading THE tutorial: http://itextpdf.com/book/ > > The result you get from your code isn't "unexpected". > Reading your code, it's perfectly understandable why > the imported pages don't necessarily fit the created pages. > > Copy/paste is not a development skill. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php 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/
