thanks for your reply..
I'll try to explain it better...
1- build a pdf template using AcroForms with some text fields
2- the pdf template is upload to my web application and parses the pdf
template that have de AcroForm and presents the fields that have been
found on it on an HTML form
3- The user can specify on the HTML form for each field if it will be
used with an Image or text
3.1- if Text is selected, user can select the font (available on
filesystem ) , the size, font CMYK font Color, alignment (0-LEFT,
1-CENTER, 2-RIGHT) and ENTER SOME TEXT for that field...
3.2 - if image.... he can select an image from filesystem and
assign it to that field scalling it to available area
4- The user filled all Fields on HTML form that have been found from
PDF (template) parsing and will HIT SAVE!
5 - The application collects all user data that have been submited
from HTML form and starts To reproduce a copy of temlate PDF filled
with that data (STAMPER)
5 - The PDF is saved flaten , so it can not be anymore changed (not
editable anymore).
Some code as example:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(filename);
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, out);
//stamper.getWriter().setRgbTransparencyBlending(true); //this was
Paulo Soares previous sugestion, nothing changes
Font[] fonts = new Font[2]; //Simulation for user selected fonts
FontFactory.register("fonts/BUMBAZO.ttf", "BUMBAZO");
FontFactory.register("fonts/BORINGLE.ttf", "BORINGLE");
fonts[0] = FontFactory.getFont("BUMBAZO", BaseFont.CP1252,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 10);
fonts[1] = FontFactory.getFont("BORINGLE", BaseFont.CP1252,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 10);
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
for each field found --- > apply html submission of values for each
one of fields
//Example -> fill field type found on AcroForm
PdfDictionary dictionary = form.getFieldItem("type").getMerged(0);
//User entered Align Center to the entered TEXT ---> 1
dictionary.put(PdfName.Q, new PdfNumber(1)); //0-align left, 1-align
at center, 2-align right
//user entered on HTML form 0 , 76 , 76 , 70 for the text color --->
Create CMYKColor with those values
Color currentColor = new CMYKColor(0, 76, 76, 70);
form.setFieldProperty("type", "textcolor",currentColor, null);
//apply font color on text field
//User entered font size of 8 ( ehere maybe use to utilities for
conversion for mm and points)
form.setFieldProperty("type", "textsize", new Float(8), null);
//apply font size on text field
//User selected font file ---> /user/fonts/BUMBAZO.ttf from filesystem
Font[] fonts = new Font[1];
FontFactory.register("fonts/BORINGLE.ttf", "BORINGLE");
fonts[0] = FontFactory.getFont("BORINGLE", BaseFont.CP1252,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED, 10);
form.setFieldProperty("type","textfont", fonts[0].getBaseFont(),
null); //apply selected font on text field
//form.setFieldProperty("type", "bgcolor", COLOR[4], null);
//apply backgroung color on text field
String fieldText = "This is a test!!!!!"; //assume that this
is the text entered by the user for this text field
form.setField("type", fieldText);
//when all fields have been processed... do final stuff as flatten
the output pdf
stamper.setFormFlattening(true);
stamper.close();
And that's it, the thing is that the color is really important and I'm
getting issues with that as I explain on my previous emails.
If the user select CMYK(0, 76, 76, 70) for that field... when I final
result PDF on Photoshop / GIMP , I color there is not the one
expected... I use them only to check the color because the user have
complained that the print result is not what he expects!
Hope with this gets clear for you... I don't kow what to do anymore... :(
Thanks in advance and I apreciate a lot your effort to help me.
