1) When a file works fine locally, but not on some remote system, chances are
Very Good that the problem isn't with iText.
What exactly is this gibberish? I suspect it looks something like:
%PDF-1.6
%âãÏÓ
206 0 obj
<</Filter/FlateDecode/First 385/Length 924/N 46/Type/ObjStm>>stream

I'm guessing you're not setting the correct mime type.

Subject: [iText-questions] after calling pdfreader function,I got a
screen with gibberish
Hi there,
I was trying to create a pdf file by iTextSharp. Now I have a very
strange problem. Basically what I want to do is to read data from database, and
fill out a new pdf with these data. Please see my code below.
private String createRegForm(JobSeeker jseeker)
{
String file = Server.MapPath("~/uploads/Form.pdf");
String newfilename = "~/uploads/registration/" + a.LastName + "_" +
a.FirstName+".pdf";
String newFile = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(newfilename);
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(Server.MapPath(file));
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(newFile,
FileMode.Create));
AcroFields fields = stamper.AcroFields;
MemoryStream m = new MemoryStream();
fields.SetField("InDate", a.DateOfArrival.ToShortDateString());
fields.SetField("FSType_HRLE", "On");
fields.SetField("FSType_HRDC", "On");
fields.SetField("FinancialOther", jseeker.FinancialSupportOther);
stamper.FormFlattening = true;
stamper.Close();
return newfilename;
}
I tried to debug the code line by line, and I found the problem appears
to be the pdfreader. After calling the pdfreader, I got a screen of gibberish.
Have no clue what the problem is. Actually the same code works fine in my local
machine, but not on the hosted system. Could anyone give some hints? Please!!!!
Thanks so much!
Cheers!
Shelly
