that is correct.  iText, at this time, doesn't support 
copying non-content information when it "merges" files.

I would recommend fixing the typo in the line below.  It should be 
"application/pdf" (note the double 'p').  That should help a lot.  :)

Re: [iText-questions] ColumnText issues (was Re: leading, tracking, kerning)

2002-08-13 Thread Paulo Soares


ColumnText does proper tracking and spacing according to the set rules. If
you make PdfDocument.ratio=1000f tracking is eliminated and all that
remains is word spacing. It's possible to change the width of the space
character in BaseFont.getWidths(). Maybe that would be enough for you.

Paulo Soares

Nothing in your servlet code will be able to configure this.
It's a clientside issue. All your clients will have to configure
their browser, so that files with the followingcontenttype:

>   
res.setContentType("aplication/pdf");

Are opened directly with Acrobat Reader. Depending on the browser,
they will have the option to have a confirmation prompt before opening
Acrobat and/or they will be able to chose if the doc has to be opened
in the browser (with a plugin) or outside the browser (for instance in
an instance of Acrobat Reader).

For obvious security reasons you cannot perform this configuration
from a server.

I am opening a pdf document from a servlet using the following code.

My actual requirement is to open the file directly by a single click on a

Can anybody please suggest me how I can achieve this.


my code is below:

// step 1: creation of a document-object

Re: [iText-questions] ColumnText issues (was Re: leading, tracking, kerning)

2002-08-13 Thread Shahzad Latif


I was able to use contentbyte's word and character spacing on column text. 
Problem is if either one or both get too large, the whole text ended up off 
the rectangle of columntext (horizontally). Well... with some trial and 
errors, I was able to come up with a column width and the spacing in sync. 
For the time being, I am good with some compromizes.

A proper tracking/kerning and other spacing params would be really nice to 
see in Sept/Oct release.

Best regards,

Shahzad

I don't know every kind of iText either (allthough I wrote the code;
I just don't remember them). Fortunately, all classes have very easy
names. If I need a paragraph, I read the constructor of class Paragraph
that takes a Properties object. If I need a chapter, I do the same with
class Chapter, and so on...

How difficult can that be???

It's because it is a bad idea to stuff a 3MB String into a Paragraph
object.

> In the the Java code in which I am  converting text into PDF, Iam reading the

And where do you perform the garbage collect?
I don't understand why this would help you avoiding the OutOfMemory.
Allthough I still think it's a bad idea to degrade your XML
to text, you could split your textfile with '\n' as delimiter.

In Pseudocode it would look like this:
Paragraph p;
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(myText, "\n");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
p = new Paragraph(st.nextToken());
doc.add(p);
}

> What should I do to reduce the processing speed?

I think you mean INCREASE processing speed.

> What should I do so that  meta-info is not lost?

Tagmaps are REALLY EASY. Use them.
(Remark: in some situations in which the same tagname has
different meanings depending on the context, tagmaps will
not be sufficient.)

> If I have to write tagmaps, How should I write them for any xml and xsl? 

Get rid of the xsl.

> PLEASE GUIDE

As I stated earlier: free software developers can't do the work
YOU are paid for. But if you send a small sample of your XML
(in which no more than 5 different tags are used), I can get you
started by writing you a demo tagmap.

[iText-questions] tagmap problem

2002-08-13 Thread pooja sharma

It is very difficult to write a tagmap for any kind of xml. The files given in the tutorial as examples are all xml files (for which the tagmaps are written) and there is no need to apply any xsl on them. In my project, xml and xsl -two separate files are provided in order to convert them to PDF. I don't know each and every kind of iText tag that can be used for writing tagmaps. 
And if I convert a large xml and xsl into text file and then to PDF, then I get "out of memory" error . Is it because a tree structure is formed in the memory as in case of FOP? 
In the the Java code in which I am  converting text into PDF, Iam reading the text file into a string and then using the "paragraph.add" function. To remove the "out of memory" problem, I have used "System.gc()" function but it has made the processing very slow - a 3MB file will take hours  
What should I do to reduce the processing speed?
What should I do so that  meta-info is not lost?
If I have to write tagmaps, How should I write them for any xml and xsl? 
PLEASE GUIDE
thanking you
