I am using ZXing to put a data matrix on each page of a workflow of documents
that I am sending to the mailroom like so:
Given pdDocument, pdPage, String contents, size, x, y:
BitMatrix bitMatrix = new DataMatrixWriter().encode(contents,
BarcodeFormat.DATA_MATRIX, size, size);
BufferedImage bufferedImage =
MatrixToImageWriter.toBufferedImage(bitMatrix);
PDImageXObject pdImageXObject =
LosslessFactory.createFromImage(pdDocument, bufferedImage);
PDPageContentStream pdPageContentStream = new
PDPageContentStream(pdDocument, pdPage, true, false);
pdPageContentStream.drawImage(pdImageXObject, x, y, size, size);
IOUtils.closeQuietly(pdPageContentStream);
The data matrix needs to be sized and positioned with some precision on the
printed page to support the mailroom sorting/enveloping process.
But so far I have trouble with that because:
#1 - The source documents are of all inconsistent width/height on the page
#2 - To deal with #1, the mailroom printer drivers all specify a "Fit" option
which will shrink oversized pages and expand undersized pages.
Can anyone suggest a solution so that I can get the data matrix sized and
positioned correctly regardless of the input size and "fitting"?
Using PDFBox-2.0.0-RC3.
