creation of PDF with JSP
Kenny,
Thank you for the prompt reply. I'm reading over the manual for iText, and
it's not really showing me exactly how to execute what I'd like. I don't pass
in HTML to the PDF, right? I can't exactly say document.add(new
Phrase("<p>Hey now</p>")); which is what is sort of confusing me.
Do you think you can send me a sample showing how you handles variables and
tables etc to format the report to look legible? [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you very much,
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.

Subject: [iText-questions] Dynamic
creation of PDF with JSP
Hello everyone,
I was just wondering about th whole process of generating a PDF on the
fly. 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
