To Whom It May Concern:
I am currently developing a web application that uses Spring Framework
and iText to take in values (through a series of forms) and generate a
PDF from them.
I want the PDF to have specific margins (90, 90, 72, 50). I have a
PDF.java class with the following method in it:
protected void buildPdfDocument(Map model, Document document, PdfWriter
writer, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws
Exception
{
...
}
I would use the simple "document.setMargins();" method, but it only
takes effect on the second page, and I need the given margins used for
the entire output.
In the tutorial examples, the first page margins are set with the
constructor "new Document(PageSize.A5, 36, 72, 108, 180)," and then
"setMargins()" is used for the subsequent pages. Because of the Spring
setup, my Document is actually passed as a parameter, so I never really
create it myself. I did try re-initializing the Document using the
aforementioned constructor, but Tomcat would suddenly tell me that
"document" had no pages (I tried both re-opening and never opening the
Document after re-initialization-neither eliminated the error).
Is there another method that will set the current page's margins? Or,
is there any other way I can affect Spring's creation of the
Document-maybe by altering Spring or iText defaults?
Thanks.
