Hi, I am developing a Reporting system for a highschool. I
have mad several templates for the various pdf files
(coverPage, reportPages). I can stamp the coverPage and
write the new PDF file, but how do I alter my code to write the
several pages of the report body and append them to the
coverPage? Keeping in mind that I am not writing new
documents and the number of pages I add are variable. The following code
explains further (the various
values are retrieved from a database using other code):
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(templatePath
+ "SCTemplate.pdf");
try
{PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader,
new FileOutputStream(reportPath + someFile.pdf"));
AcroFields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
form.setField("reportTitle",reportTitle);
form.setField("studentName",studentName);
form.setField("date",reportDate);
form.setField("reportCount",reportCount);
form.setField("absences",daysAbsent);
form.setField("yaComment",yaComment);
form.setField("pComment",pComment);
form.setField("yaName",yaName);
form.setField("pName",pName);
form.setField("yrLevel",shortYearLevel);
form.setField("achievements",achievements);
stamp.setFormFlattening(true);
stamp.close();}
catch(Exception e)
{System.out.println("Error: " + e);}
//This concludes the Cover Page
I now need to loop through each subject the student is taking
and create a new report and append it to the coverPage:
//AccessDatabase here
while(database.next())
{get report values and do something to write the pdf
write the new report using the smae method as the cover page.
//Need to collate all pages here}
And this is where I am having trouble. I have looked at the
tutorials and searched for examples high and low, but they all
deal with writing the Document object and not the PdfStamper
object. The templates need to be in PDF form so the
administrators can manage the report layout after
development, otherwise I would simply use the Document
object and write the pdf from scratch.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
