Hi,
I have a requirement which generates a PDF report in Java
Requirements
-----------------
Page Size - Same dimensions as for Cut Sheet, plus 1/2 left and right,
(overall: 9.5 x 11; detached: 8.5 x 11).
If you want a document with a specific size that is bigger than Letter,
you shouldn't create a document with PageSize.LETTER as you're doing:
Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);
This creates a document with pages of size 8.5 by 11 inches. Use a
different Rectangle:
Document document = new Document(new
Rectangle(Utilities.inchesToPoints(9.5), Utilities.inchesToPoints(11));
You may want to adapt your margins, because if you need half an inch to
cut off, this won't be sufficient:
document.setMargins(10.8f, 10.8f, 12f, 12f);
Half an inch is 36 user units, so the value of the left and right margin
needs to be at least 36f.
10 characters per inch
Which font are you planning to use? Currently you're using Courier with
font size 10. It seems as if you're interpreting the font size as the
number of characters per inch whereas the font size is an indication of
the HEIGHT of the font. I think Courier with font size 12 results in
about 10 characters per inch, but I'm not sure. You should check this by
doing some math (consult chapters 3 and/or 11 of "iText in Action -
Second Edition" to find out how to measure a String).
and 6 lines per inch
The distance between the baseline of two lines of text is called the
"leading". An inch is 72 pt, so if you want 6 lines per inch, you need a
leading of 12.
Note that the result will be rather ugly if you use Courier with font
size 12 and leading 12. The lines will be very dense.
how can I meet the above requirements.
Please find attached code which I have tried and it is not working
correct, Please check and guide me
All the guidance you need can be found in the book "iText in Action -
Second Edition."
You'll save plenty of time (yours and ours) if you read it before
starting to use iText.
