Here's the code for opening an attachment when clicking on an annotation. It
opens up the corresponding attachment (documents and tiff images) when the
annotation is double-clicked. Also, when the attached word document opens
up, it does have the "Save As" functionality.
Attached is a sample PDF file generated by the code below.
The code attaches 3 word documents and 3 tiff images, as "CORRESPONDENCE
DOCUMENTS" and "IMAGES" section, respectively.
--------------------------------------- code starts
---------------------------------------------------
Document document = new Document();
Color redColor = new Color(255, 0, 0);
Color blueColor = new Color(0, 0, 255);
Color grayColor = new Color(100, 100, 100);
Color greenColor = new Color(0, 255, 0);
Font redFont = new Font(Font.TIMES_ROMAN, 12, Font.BOLD,
redColor);
Font blueFont = new Font(Font.TIMES_ROMAN, 10, Font.NORMAL,
blueColor);
Font grayFont = new Font(Font.COURIER, 9, Font.NORMAL,
grayColor);
Font greenFont = new Font(Font.TIMES_ROMAN, 10, Font.NORMAL,
greenColor);
ByteArrayOutputStream baosPDF = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfWriter writer = null;
try{
writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baosPDF);
}
catch (DocumentException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
document.setPageSize(PageSize.LETTER);
HeaderFooter header = new HeaderFooter(new Phrase("My Header",
grayFont),
false);
header.setAlignment(0);
document.setHeader(header);
HeaderFooter footer = new HeaderFooter(new Phrase("My Footer",
grayFont),
false);
footer.setAlignment(2);
document.setFooter(footer);
document.open();
Image testImage = Image.getInstance("C:/word.jpg");
Paragraph title = new Paragraph("WORKITEM PRINT REPORT",
redFont);
title.setAlignment(1);
document.add(title);
Paragraph emptyPara = new Paragraph(" ");
document.add(emptyPara);
document.add(emptyPara);
Paragraph currentDate = new Paragraph("Create Date: "+ new
java.util.Date(), blueFont);
document.add(currentDate);
Paragraph correspondencePara = new Paragraph("CORRESPONDENCE
DOCUMENTS");
document.add(correspondencePara);
PdfFileSpecification pf = null;
byte[] b = null;
PdfAnnotation annot = null;
String filePath = "C:/Test.doc";
for(int i = 1;i < 4;i++){
b = getBytesFromFile(filePath);
try{
annot =
PdfAnnotation.createFileAttachment(writer, new Rectangle(300, i
* 250, 300, i * 250), "Attachment "+i, b, "", "Test.doc");
}
catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
annot.setPage();
annot.setColor(new Color(122,122,122));
writer.addAnnotation(annot);
}
document.newPage();
Paragraph attachmentPara = new Paragraph("ATTACHMENTS");
document.add(attachmentPara);
filePath = "C:/Test.tiff";
for(int i = 1;i < 4;i++){
b = getBytesFromFile(filePath);
try{
annot =
PdfAnnotation.createFileAttachment(writer, new Rectangle(300, i
* 250, 300, i * 250), "Images "+i, b, "", "Test.tiff");
}
catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
annot.setPage();
annot.setColor(new Color(122,122,122));
writer.addAnnotation(annot);
}
document.close();
StringBuffer sbFilename = new StringBuffer();
sbFilename.append("MyTestPdf.pdf");
System.out.println(sbFilename);
baosPDF.writeTo(new
FileOutputStream("C:/Test/"+sbFilename.toString()));
------------------------------------------ code ends
-------------------------------------------------
If you run this sample code, you can see the PDF file with a total of 6
attachments. I need a little help where instead of annotation's default
image, i need to actually give the Image object, representing the
"C:/word.jpg". I tried the following code instead
--------------------------------------- one line code starts
-------------------------------------------
annot = PdfAnnotation.createFileAttachment(writer, testImage, "Images "+i,
b, "", "Test.tiff");
--------------------------------------- one line code ends
--------------------------------------------
instead of
--------------------------------------- one line code starts
-------------------------------------------
annot = PdfAnnotation.createFileAttachment(writer, new Rectangle(300, i *
250, 300, i * 250), "Images "+i, b, "", "Test.tiff");
http://www.nabble.com/file/p17662151/MyTestPdf.pdf MyTestPdf.pdf
--------------------------------------- one line code ends
--------------------------------------------
but could not get the desired result.
Also, is there a better way of arranging the annotations instead of setting
their x and y coordinates?
Thanks.
