Hello Officer,
My name is Qi Gong. I am working for US Food and Drug Administration.
I generate a software to do statistical analysis. We want to export
the report to PDF. Thus, we try to use your pdfbox to do it. The code
I use is like following:
PDDocument doc = new PDDocument();
PDPage page = new PDPage();
doc.addPage(page);
PDPageContentStream content = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page);
content.beginText();
content.setFont(PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD, 18);
content.newLineAtOffset(100, 700);
content.showText(*our string*);
content.endText();
content.close();
But I face some problems.
1. If the *our string* part is long. it with not automatically jump to
the next line. The string just disappear at boundary of the page.
2. If I use "\r\n" in *our string *to jump to next line, you package
gives me error like
/ U+000D ('controlCR') is not available in this font Helvetica-Bold
(generic: Arial-BoldMT) encoding: WinAnsiEncoding/
Thus, we want to know Is there any method to
1. let long string automatically jump to the next line.
2. Manually go to the next line
3. Export a table to the PDF.
There is one example about what report PDF we want in attachment. It
generated by iTEXT. Do you think it is possible and not so hard to get
it by your pdfbox? Thank you.
Unlike itext, PDFBox is rather low level, so you must do such things
yourself.
(PDF itself does not have a paragraph concept)
Re tables, have a look at boxable or tabula, which use PDFBox.
