Re: [iText-questions] missing line space in Text field while merging multiple PDF's using PDFCopy of IText
Paulo,
Thanks for the reply.
Due to some security reasons I am not able to attach the PDF files, but I can
show you the screen shots of the two files.
Screen shot for the single PDF.
Screen shot for merged files
For the both scenarios I am using the same template but the line spacing is
differing. Could you please help me out on this.

Subject: [iText-questions] missing line space in Text field while merging
multiple PDF's using PDFCopy of IText
Hi,
I am using IText to fill the values in Designer created PDF using IText
AcroFields along with this I am using PDFCopy of Itext to merge the same pdf
file for 3 times with different data. The issue is I am having text field in
the pdf where it will accept multiple lines and I had given 8 inches as the
line spacing between the lines. When i create a single pdf( i.e. filling
values in the form and creating a new file) the line spacing is the same as
what I had given but when I try to merge the three files the line spacing
in the Text Field is getting increased and my data is over flowing. I am
merging the files using PDFCopy.
My code will looks like the following
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(template.pdf);
Document document = new Document();
PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(document, os);
document.open();
for (int i =0;i3;i++) {
// create the reader by passing the AWB PDF template
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(template.pdf);
FileOutputStream baos = new
FileOutputStream(result.pdf);
// create the stamper
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(reader, baos);
pdfStamper.setFormFlattening(true);
pdfStamper.setFreeTextFlattening(true);
pdfStamper.setFullCompression();
// retrieve the form fields
AcroFields pdfForm = pdfStamper.getAcroFields();
// fill the form with the appropriate values
// This method will fill up the form values
setFormValues(pdfForm);
pdfStamper.setFormFlattening(true);
pdfStamper.close();
reader = new PdfReader(result.pdf);
// add the first page of the reader to the copy
copy.addPage(copy.getImportedPage(reader, 1));
reader.close();
baos.close();
}
copy.flush();
document.close();
copy.close();
Could any one please tell me what is the reason for increasing line space
between the lines in Text fields
Thanks
Shiv

Re: [iText-questions] Null pointer exception in PdfWriter
Here's a corrected (or at least improved) patch - this resolves the indirect
reference to the correct object and does not create an unused entry in the
Xref:
protected internal virtual int GetNewObjectNumber(PdfReader reader, int
number, int generation) {
if (currentPdfReaderInstance == null) {
currentPdfReaderInstance = GetPdfReaderInstance(reader);
}
return currentPdfReaderInstance.GetNewObjectNumber(number, generation);
}

Subject: RE: [iText-questions] Null pointer exception in PdfWriter
Thanks Paulo.
I downloaded and built the SVN tip and was able to reproduce the problem.
The gist of it is that if you use PdfWriter to import a page and re-create
link annotations, and those annotations contain indirect references (such as
a Parent, i.e. /P 8 0 R), you get the exception. Enclosed is a PDF file
that I clobbered together with such a link, along with a few line demo
program that will crash when you copy the page out to a new file and
re-create links. It will succeed when the patch I suggested is applied.
Note that I stripped everything down to the bare bones - this code is not
useful for any particular purpose other than to demonstrate the bug. My
guess is that most folks use PdfCopy or PdfSmartCopy for operations like
this, so perhaps that's why nobody has run into this before. It is not clear
to me whether the problem is purely Annotation related - I suspect that this
could happen during other operations as well.
Upon further testing, I noticed is that the patch I suggested creates a
reference to a non-existent object, but Acrobat doesn't care as the parent
reference is redundant, but it may cause problems for other tools/parsers.
This makes me believe that there is a better way to fix the problem although
we are getting by at the moment.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: [iText-questions] Null pointer exception in PdfWriter
Gents,
I'm using an older version of iTextSharp (4.1.6 equivalent), and recently
ran into a null pointer exception in PdfWriter while splitting a PDF file.
Never seen this before despite running all kinds of data for years. The
error happens on the PdfDocument Close() call, that leads to a
RotateAnnotations call, that calls writer.AddToBody, and eventually
GetNewObjectNumber in the PdfWriter is called and that method looks like
this:
protected internal virtual int GetNewObjectNumber(PdfReader reader, int
number, int generation) {
return currentPdfReaderInstance.GetNewObjectNumber(number, generation);
}
At the time the call is made, the currentPdfReaderInstance is null causing
the exception. I looked at the code in the repository for the latest, and
this method has not changed. I patched the code to check for null as such:
protected internal virtual int GetNewObjectNumber(PdfReader reader, int
number, int generation) {
if (currentPdfReaderInstance == null) {
currentPdfReaderInstance = reader.GetPdfReaderInstance(this);
}
return currentPdfReaderInstance.GetNewObjectNumber(number, generation);
}
This creates proper output. My question is, is this an acceptable patch or
should this be handled differently? Furthermore, it worries me that this has
not come up before - is it normal that the currentPdfReaderInstance is null
under these circumstances? I have not tried this under 5.0.2 but I suspect
that the same thing will happen - would it make sense to patch the latest?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks - Gylfi

[iText-questions] How to get the layout right - text / images / text / images - tables vs. paragraphs
Hi I've just started using iText for my own personal project where I am exporting my blog to PDF. Each blog post have some text and one or more images in no particular order, it might alternate. I have tried to modify some of the examples I have found and now managed to create a pdf with text and images using a Paragraph for each post. My problem is that I'm not able to get the text and pictures out in the exact order, if the picture is about to be printed at the end of a page and there is no space for it, sometimes the next text is written instead and then on the next page I get two pictures in a row. Not what I wanted. I do not post any code along with this, since my intention now is just to get a hint of what would be considered best practice when working with text and pictures like this. I do not want the text to float around the pictures since I have no ways to know which part of the text in the blog post is belonging to which picture. I have not yet found any examples on how to guarantee the order printed to the pdf, but my quess is that I maybe should use a table to get more control over the flow of text and pictures across pages?
