Hello iText users
and developers:
There was an earlier
post where some "underscores" or short dashes in the PDF were being
produced whenever a newline XML tag was used. Bruno showed that it
was not a font problem but an actual PDF command to draw a line and
concluded that the code using iText, and not iText itself, was responsible
for doing this.
I too am having this
problem. Unfortunately, it only happens on our QA server after it has been
running for quite awhile.
We are using iText
on an application server to produce and mail PDF documents. I'm wondering
if there could be some static variables that are getting corrupted
somehow. We don't use the iText objects in a multi-threaded manner, but
multiple threads could be accessing iText statics
simultaneously.
I'm trying to debug
further and get more information, but I'm not allowed to touch the QA
server. I cannot reproduce it locally. I ran 100 concurrent threads
each producing 1000 documents on my development box and nothing odd
happened.
I have a test JSP
where I can enter iText tags and it produces a PDF. On the QA box
where the problem is happening, a simple document with just a <newline/>
tag produces a single dash line on the PDF.
So, the original
post was not a hoax, and I'm pretty stumped on what to do next. I would
love to trace the QA code and see how and why iText is behaving differently
than on my local machine.
I realize I don't
have much to go on, but any ideas would be appreciated. And if/when I find
anything else out, I'll post them. Thanks.
