[iText-questions] Strange behavior of Textfield - DefaultText
Hello! I searched the archieve, but i can´t find anything about my problem...so i try this way now... Hope someone can help me. I am using the 2.1.7 Version of the itext Package in an Eclipse 3.2 env. And i am writing Textfields (com.lowagie.text.pdf) to an existing PDF File. All is working fine...till i am using the TextField.setDefaultText function. It seems to work well...but it the result is strange. It write´s the defined text into the DefaultText Field inside the PDF Textfield...but the inserted Defaulttext Value is not Displayed on the PDF like it does if i type something in by myself. I tried to find a difference in the PDF Files, but i can´t... Than i compared the files in an editor and found a different strucktur in the itext created Value. itext created: 41 0 obj/P 11 0 R/Type/Annot/F 4/AP/N 2 0 R/V()/Subtype/Widget/DV(inserted Text)/TU(L_F_Ausfertigung)/T(L_F_Ausfertigung)/BS/S/S/W 1/Ff 0/Rect[7.04 351.02 29.78 535.95]/DR/Font/HeBo 80 0 R/DA(/HeBo 10 Tf 0 g )/MK/R 90/MaxLen 255/FT/Tx Manuel created: 41 0 obj/AP/N 94 0 R/BS/S/S/W 1/DA(/HeBo 12 Tf 0 g )/DR/Font/HeBo 79 0 R/DV(inserted Text)/F 4/FT/Tx/Ff 0/MaxLen 255/P 10 0 R/Rect[7.04 351.02 29.78 535.95]/Subtype/Widget/T(L_F_Ausfertigung)/TU(L_F_Ausfertigung)/Type/Annot/V(BlaBlubb) endobj Is there anyone out there who have a clue?

Re: [iText-questions] Right to left run direction
Yes, only ColumnText and PdfPCell (using a ColumnText object internally) support R2L (Hebrew and Arabic). Thanks! Sorry but I have a second question. For PdfPCell everything is OK. My problem for ColumnText is, that I don't know the coordinates in the page. Each ColumnText object should be added like a Paragraph. A PdfPCell is automatically added at the correct position. Is there a same possibility to add a ColumnText without using the setSimpleColumn(...) method? At the moment I put the Paragraph into a PdfPCell without borders.

As I've said before: create you bookmarks using PdfOutline! PdfOutline needs a PdfDestination (that is: coordinates). You can get the coordinates to create the destination through a CellEvent, or, if you wrap A, B, C,... in Chunks, using the page event onGenericTag(). This is explained in great detail in the book.

Re: [iText-questions] Detecting a blank page in a pdf created using FOP 0.95
What is in the buffer with 0.95? I suspect its a nearly static string. Something like paint the page white, set the stroke and fill color to our internal defaults... that sort of thing. The paint the page white section will vary based on the size of the page in question, but some RegEx-fu would clear that right up. If you want to get fancy and be Technically Correct (and burn an extra 5-10 hours climbing a learning curve), you could use com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentParser (or a derivative of *.pdf.parser.PdfContentProcessor) to look for commands that Actually Draw Something... there are quite a few. Even then, you might still incorrectly identify a blank page. For example, if there's a clipping region, and everything is drawn outside it: A: Bad PDF producer. Bad! No biscuit!

Re: [iText-questions] Root Object is invalid or missing after PDF is manipulated with iTextSharp
Attached is the corrupt file.
if i try to read the corrupted file using pdfreader i get the error message
saying start ref not found. But the issue is that problem is not
consistant. I am able to water mark the same original file 2nd time using
the same code. So it's like randomly some file is not fully written.
i am gussing this is because the pdfstamper is closing the memory stream
earlier than it should for some reason. However what i want to confirm is
that my understanding that the probelm is infact the memory stream is right
or not?. Because i have implmented alternative technique to compltely avoid
memory stream and pdf stamper but use pdfwriter and file stream which seem
to have fixed the issue in dev. But still need to get response from a heavy

Well, that wasn't quite the answer I had hoped for :/
Will iText RTF support emerge from the incubator at some point in the

Re: [iText-questions] Root Object is invalid or missing after PDF is manipulated with iTextSharp
That file is horrifically mangled all right. The cross reference (xref) table
at the end doesn't list all the objects in the file, not by a long shot.
The root object, 69, is among those AWOL from the xref... leading to the error
you're getting.
WHY is it missing? I'm not sure. The xref looks like one you'd find as a
result of a stamper in append mode, tacked onto the original PDF, but the
rest of the file looks like it should have a single xref. The trailer makes no
mention of a previous xref or xref stream.
You're not explicitly setting the stamper to use append mode, so it will only
go into that mode, IIRC, if forced by a signature. (And I don't see anything
in the source that backs that up either, so now I'm Really Confused)
Is this a single threaded environment? (he asked, grasping at straws)

PdfAnnotation.FLAGS_INVISIBLE | PdfAnnotation.FLAGS_HIDDEN;
to make it
invisible.
so this is working fine as expected 90% of the time.
Remaning 10 % of the
time i get an error when i open the document after adding
the annotation
it says Root object is invalid or missing
so looks like it corrupted the file trying to add the
annoation. do you
have any suggestion? i can share the code i am using to add
the annotation
if that helps.

Re: [iText-questions] Problem in nesting of lists in RTF?
Per Bruno's earlier post to this list, iText is moving to PDF-only for
output. The incubator is for related projects that developers might want to
use in conjunction with iText. Whether that means they're dead or alive will
depend, I am sure, on the authors of the various packages.
If Howard Shenk is reading the list, he might be able to tell you/us
directly what involvement he anticipates regarding maintenance and
development of the RTF package.

Well, that wasn't quite the answer I had hoped for :/
Will iText RTF support emerge from the incubator at some point in the
future? or is this a death by incubation scenario?
