Hi,
I am using iText for generating PDF/A compliant pdf file. The code used by
me is as follows:
public class PdfMaker
{
// the _document is the PDF file's layout
private Document _document;
// the writer used to write to the _document to produce the PDF file
private PdfWriter _writer;
// the output stream to write to the file
private ByteArrayOutputStream _baosPDF;
// empty space between two tables, headings, etc
private Paragraph _emptyPara;
// Common constants
private static final String REPORT_HEADING = "REPORT";
private static final String FILE_EXTENSION = ".pdf";
private static final String TIME_PATTERN = "mmddyyyy_HHmmss";
private static final String FOOTER = "footer";
private static final String ITEM1 = "Item1";
private static final String ITEM2 = "Item2";
private static final String ITEM3 = "Item3";
/**
* This method initializes the components required for generating the
PDF
*/
private void init()
{
_document = new Document();
_baosPDF = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try
{
_writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(_document, _baosPDF);
_writer.setPDFXConformance(PdfWriter.PDFA1A);
}
catch (DocumentException dex)
{
}
}
/**
* This method creates the PDF
* @return File representation of the PDF generated
*/
public File createPDF()
{
File pdfFile = null;
init();
//File fontFile = createFontFile();
try
{
_document.setPageSize(PageSize.A4);
_document.open();
BaseFont bf =
BaseFont.createFont("C:\\WINDOWS\\Fonts\\ARIAL.TTF",
BaseFont.WINANSI, true);
Font font = new Font(bf, 12);
_emptyPara = new Paragraph(" ", font);
// set the footer
HeaderFooter footer = new HeaderFooter(new
Phrase(FOOTER, font), false);
footer.setAlignment(2);
_document.setFooter(footer);
Paragraph title = new Paragraph(REPORT_HEADING, font);
title.setAlignment(1);
_document.add(title);
_document.add(_emptyPara);
// General Details
addParagraphHeader("General", font);
addGeneralDetails(font);
_document.close();
StringBuffer pdfFileName = new StringBuffer();
SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new
SimpleDateFormat(TIME_PATTERN);
String dateAndTimeSuffix = simpleDateFormat.format(new
Date());
pdfFileName.append("_");
pdfFileName.append(dateAndTimeSuffix);
pdfFile = File.createTempFile(pdfFileName.toString(),
FILE_EXTENSION);
_baosPDF.writeTo(new FileOutputStream(pdfFile));
_writer.close();
}
catch(IOException ioe)
{
}
catch(DocumentException docex)
{
}
finally
{
}
return pdfFile;
}
/**
* This method adds a paragraph to the PDF
* @param paragraphName : the name of the Paragraph
*/
private void addParagraphHeader(final String paragraphName, final Font
font) throws DocumentException
{
Paragraph generalPara = new Paragraph(paragraphName, font);
generalPara.setAlignment(1);
_document.add(generalPara);
_document.add(_emptyPara);
}
/**
* This method adds the General details of the workitem to the PDF in a
tabular form
* @throws DocumentException : an iText specific Runtime Exception
*/
private void addGeneralDetails(final Font font) throws DocumentException
{
String item1 = "Item 1";
String item2 = "Item 2";
String item3 = "Item 3";
_document.add(new Paragraph("Item 1 : " + item1, font));
_document.add(new Paragraph("Item 2 : " + item2, font));
_document.add(new Paragraph("Item 3 : " + item3, font));
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
PdfMaker pdfMaker = new PdfMaker();
pdfMaker.createPDF();
}
}
Please let me know if there is any tool available to test the compliance of
the generated pdf file.
Thanks
Manoj
