Thanks for that reply Paulo. I know that you are busy and I
appreciate
your answering me. I am a novice when it comes to pdf processing
and have found iText to be terrific so far. You and Bruno have done
some
excellent work! I am hoping that I can ask you to take one more look
at this.
I looked at PdfReader.removeUnusedObjects() and came up
with the code below. It doesn't seem to find any streams or Metadata

[iText-questions] Question about language
Hi all, I'm signing a PDF document with iText libraries. After signing it, I can read the information in the PDF document itself because the sign is visible. The question is if I can choose the language in which that information isstored in PDF document when you sign itbecause if I sign through Adobe Acrobat I can see it in Spanish but if I do it with iText it is shown in English. Thanks in advance, Cristina

It's also possible to do it in PdfStamper for existing PDFs.
To read the metadata:
PdfReader reader = ...;
PdfDictionary catalog = reader.getCatalog();
PRStream metadata =
(PRStream)PdfReader.getPdfObject(catalog.get(PdfName.METADATA));
if (metadata != null) {
byte metabytes[] = PdfReader.getStreamBytes(metadata);

Re: RE: RE: [iText-questions] Bug with List/Paragraph/ColumnText ?
Sorry, but you just told me that ColumnText doesn't support lists inside
paragraphs.
My paragraphs contain text, images and text with background-images, because I
need setKeepTogether(). You helped me a lot to align the background-image
vertically with the text [setGenericTag, getDirectContentUnder().addImage()].
Now I need to find out how to move the text horizontally to any position I
want. I need to move the text, not the image. Using ct.setFollowingIndent() is
no option.
I just want to label images at exact, configurable positions.
Is there a recommended way to achieve this?
Best regards,
Andreas Meyer
You can have the same result with a list and a chunk with image as the
symbol.

the list to a

[iText-questions] Text box with iText
Hi all I'm quite new to iText, but I'm impressed by its speed and rich set of features. (Thanks Bruno and Paulo) I need to place text boxes within a PDF file like this: - | Here some text... | - These text boxes might have a border (top, bottom, right and left part of the border might have a different width), a border color, a text color, a background color and of course can be placed at an absolute position. What would be the best way to draw such text boxes? By using a table with only one cell? Or by painting 4 lines, a spotcolor (for the background) and some text above it? The problem is that the text should not become larger than the box. Thanks in advance for any hint on that.

The problem is that the text should not become larger than the box. What is more important to you, the width of the box or the width of the text? With PdfPTable, you will define the width of the table and add text to a cell. The text will be wrapped and the height of your box will increase. If you don't want the text to wrap (but everything on a single line), you will have to measure the text and draw a rectangle based on the results.

[iText-questions] tiff2pdf and pdf2tiff
Hi,
we need to do both of these things. The tiff2pdf works for the most
part... just grabbed some sample code of the web site:
public void testTiff2PdfTest() {
//String tiffFile = rootDir+crl2688.tif;
String tiffFile = rootDir+400dpiCCITTGroup4.tif;
String pdfFile = rootDir+pdfer.pdf;
Document document = new Document();
try {
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(pdfFile));
document.setMargins( 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f);
document.open();
Image tiff = Image.getInstance(tiffFile);
tiff.scalePercent(18);
document.add(tiff);
}
catch(DocumentException de) {
System.err.println(de.getMessage());
}
catch(IOException ioe) {
System.err.println(ioe.getMessage());
}
document.close();
}
The only problem is that it only grabs the first page of the tiff.
Does anyone know how I can grab the second page of the tiff?
Also, it seems it would be easy to go from pdf2tiff, but I can't seem
to grasp it. Is this possible with itext? If not, can someone refer
me to a good open source library that does?
Thanks,
Ben

The code can be found in package com.lowagie.tools.plugins

No, iText doesn't generate TIFF.

Yes, there is.
If you choose 'original' as pagesize in the JWS app,
the PDF pages have the same size as the TIFF pages.
Remark that you are probably looking at the 1.3 code.
For the JWS app, I am already using new code
(you'll find the complete javafile in the CVS repository):
for (int c = 0; c comps; ++c) {
Image img = TiffImage.getTiffImage(ra, c + 1);
if (img != null) {
if (adjustSize) {
document.setPageSize(new
Rectangle(img.scaledWidth(),
img.scaledHeight()));

Leonard, Thanks for the quick response. I need to suppress this information because we handle peer-reviewed documents. The evaluators must remain anonymous and sometimes there is need to send their evaluations back to a submitting author. On occasion the evaluator's name will appear in XMP data that has been included unwittingly so we need to remove this data before it gets forwarded. I am resetting the metadata in the DocInfo fields as shown in the iText examples so this isn't a problem - but I thank you for bringing it up!

This seems to work just fine but I see in the PDF spec that XMP metadata can be contained in any components that are represented as a stream or dictionary. Correct. However, AFAIK, the only common location for it is on image dictionaries. Does anyone know if there as a way to find and remove all those metadata streams if they exist anywhere in the document? Thanks, Greg You can do it with our PDF Enhancer product (http://www.pdfenhancer.com). It is possible using iText - but it requires walking the object tree and looking for the XMP key...

[iText-questions] Question about language
Hi all, I'm signing a PDF document with iText libraries. After signing it, I can read the information in the PDF document itself because the sign is visible. The question is if I can choose the language in which that information isstored in PDF document when you sign itbecause if I sign through Adobe Acrobat I can see it in Spanish but if I do it with iText it is shown in English.

[iText-questions] How to fit an image in a table cell for an .rtf document
I am creating an rtf document with iText, it contains a table with a
mixture of text and picture cells, I am having two problems:
1) I cannot seem to get an image in a cell using a byte array. See
commented call to getPicture() below.
2) if I load a picture in via a url it doesn't size to fit the cell I am
adding it to, is there a way to do this?
This is an example of the type of table I am trying to write to an rtf
document:
(Embedded image moved to file: pic05436.pcx)
I want the image to size to fit the number of cells it is given to span
across.
Table table = null;
// get cell from the jtable
Object contents = jtable.getValueAt(r, c);
if (contents != null)
{
// get record the span info
spanDetails =
tableModel.getCellAttribute().getSpan(r, c);
spanHeight = spanDetails[0];
spanWidth = spanDetails[1];
// ...
else if (contents instanceof PictureCell)
{
Image image = null;
try
{
// load an image via a url (this loads but it's too big)
image =
Image.getInstance(C:\\Documents and Settings\\VBrown\\My Documents\\My
Pictures\\cloud.jpg);
// load an image via a byte array (doesn't work)
//image =
Image.getInstance(getPicture((PictureCell)contents));
}
cell = new Cell(image);
}
table.addCell(cell);
}
}
}
doc.add(table);
private byte[] getPicture(PictureCell cell)
{
PictureHolder objPicHolder = (PictureHolder) cell.getContent();
java.awt.Image objContentAsImage = objPicHolder.getImage();
BufferedImage bufferedImage = new
BufferedImage(objContentAsImage.getWidth(null),
objContentAsImage.getHeight(null),BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics graphics = bufferedImage.createGraphics();
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
graphics.drawImage(objContentAsImage, 0, 0,
objContentAsImage.getWidth(null), objContentAsImage.getHeight(null), null);
try
{
ImageIO.write(bufferedImage, png, stream);
}
catch (Throwable e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
byte[] abytImage = stream.toByteArray();
return abytImage;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Water mark Chopping the borders of a table
Hi Paulo,
I am using itext as a api for generating pdf reports from java
application.
We had tables with borders on the report. These are working fine up
until now.
We added a water mark onto the document and it is chopping off the
borders of the tables where ever it is drawn on the page.
Is there any thing I had to do inorder to overcome this problem. If so
please let me know, as this is so important that we are waiting only for
this to move application into production. Here is the code I am using to
add water mark and table to document.
Document document = new Document();
Watermark w = new Watermark(Image.getInstance(/img/dot_seal_bw.jpg),
150, 280);
document.add(w);
document.open();
Table atable = new Table(3);
atable.setBorderWidth(1);
atable.setPadding(2);
atable.setBorderColor(new Color(0,0,255));
atable.setWidth(100.f);
atable.addCell(new Phrase([X] MUTCD 6-TYPICAL APPLICATION PLAN,
fontfac3))
atable.addCell(new Phrase([X] DETAILED TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN

atable.addCell(new Phrase([ ] COMBINATION TYPICAL APPLICATION DETAIL
