Hi group,
We need to update the PDF by inserting a table at runtime as the data in the
table is dynamic. We trying the following code which is able to insert the
table but overlaps
Existing text. Could someone please suggest if this the right way of doing this
or any other pointers will help?
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("abc.pdf");
Color textColor = Color.CYAN;
BaseColor baseColor = new BaseColor(textColor);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new
FileOutputStream("stamped.pdf"));
stamper.insertPage(1, PageSize.A4);
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
List<AcroFields.FieldPosition> fieldPosition =
form.getFieldPositions("Placehoder10");
Object[] obj = fieldPosition.toArray();
PdfContentByte directcontent =
stamper.getOverContent(((AcroFields.FieldPosition)obj[0]).page);
PdfImportedPage p = stamper.getImportedPage(reader,
((AcroFields.FieldPosition)obj[0]).page);
float f = 600;
ColumnText col = new ColumnText(directcontent);
col.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
PageSize.A4.getWidth()-36, PageSize.A4.getHeight()-300);
col.setSimpleColumn(10,10,500,500);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
table.setWidthPercentage(100f);
PdfPCell cell =null;
for (int m = 0; m < 3; m++)
{
for (int l = 0; l < 3; l++)
{
cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.setBackgroundColor(new BaseColor(Color.BLUE));
cell.setMinimumHeight(1f);
cell.addElement(new Chunk("Testing the PDF" + l + " "+ m ));
table.addCell(cell);
}
}
col.addElement(table);
int currentColumn =0;
while (true)
{
int status = col.go();
if ((status & ColumnText.NO_MORE_TEXT) != 0)
{
break;
}
++currentColumn;
if(currentColumn>=1){
break;
}
}
stamper.setFreeTextFlattening(true);
stamper.close();
stamper.close();
}
