Re: [iText-questions] Dynamic creation of PDF with JSP

[Kenny G. Dubuisson, Jr.]

Lior:   Sounds like you want to do what I did.  I was generating reports via JSP that were pretty long.  I didn't like the fact that there were no page breaks or repeat headers and stuff via the HTML so I decided to try iText.  And I want you to know that I really like it but it did take a bit of development since now all my reports are generated via servlets instead of JSP.  But if you want nice looking reports with total control over the layout, iText is the way to go.   As far as variables, I've got tons of them in my servlets that generate the PDF and it works great.   Hope this info helps...let me know if you need more info.

I have a report that is generated, and it's pretty big, and I want the output, instead of going to a JSP page, to go to the PDF file so it can be send over to a client. I was wondering how to go about doing that, since I'm not quite sure about how to work in variables into the PDF. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lior   Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
