Hi, I want to print a JPanel in a PDF document. Structure will be: a title, some arbitrary text, the JPanel, some tables, more arbitrary text.
The examples I found that print images use either a PDFContentByte or are some HTML, XML processing stuff using IText Image. When using a template and PDFContentByte, one needs to know the position of the last written text to place the graphic below, and then one must place the next elements (the tables and more text) after that. I didn't find out how to achieve these 2 things, nor how to convert a JPanel graphic to a IText Image for the other approach. Any hints? Btw, when using Substance LAF printing to the template Graphics2D raises an exeption: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null incompatible with Text-specific antialiasing enable key at java.awt.RenderingHints.put(RenderingHints.java:1057) at java.awt.RenderingHints.putAll(RenderingHints.java:1124) at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfGraphics2D.addRenderingHints(Unknown Source) at org.jvnet.substance.SubstancePanelUI.__org__jvnet__substance__SubstancePanelUI__container__update(SubstancePanelUI.java) at org.jvnet.substance.SubstancePanelUI.update(SubstancePanelUI.java) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintComponent(JComponent.java:751) at javax.swing.JComponent.printComponent(JComponent.java:1181) at javax.swing.JComponent.paint(JComponent.java:1021) at javax.swing.JComponent.print(JComponent.java:1163) The internet told me this error (or a similar one) has been removed around 2007. I did work around it by setting a javax.swing.plaf.basic LAF renderer. Just for your information.
