RE: iText PDF signature
Thanks for the suggestions Paul. I dont see any setRender or setSignatureGraphic method. Are you on CF9? Maybe that is the difference. All I have is setImage and setImageScale. These lay an image behind the text in the signature. I did find that I can do setLayer2Text to blank and it will clear the type on top of the image. So maybe that is the route I will go. I really dont feel like monkey'ing around with replacing iText in CF8.

Re: iText and CF issues
Thanks for replying.
We are currently running this against a CF7 environment.
I have tried a variety of parameters.
1. flags, setflags, clrflags (using PdfAnnotation constants)
2. fflags, setfflags, clrfflags (using PdfFormField constants)
No change occurs to the PDF document.
I should mention that I added a couple extra lines after "setFieldProperty"
(even though the code above doesn't show it).
bRet = pdfForm.regenerateField( JavaCast("string", "text1") );
WriteOutput("regenerateField of text1 - bRet: #bRet#");
I noticed this in a few other snippets as well as the iText book examples.
Even though "bRet" return "YES". It didn't seem to make a difference in making
a PDF form field "Read Only".

Re: iText and VerticalText
Ah ok, that has answered on eof my questions. CFDOCUMENT doesn't support the
vertical text that i use in my CSS so i'll have to convert the whole piece of
code to iText Gr!! Funnily enough I read somewhere that CFDOCUMENT is built
using iText so you would think it would support some of its functions??
OK, I have found some code on the iText site can someone give me a hand in

Re: iText: The selected method setFontAndSize was not found.
You're passing the wrong object types. The API is
setFontAndSize(com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont, float).
>> myObj.BaseFont = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont");
>> local.bf = myObj.BaseFont.Courier;
BaseFont.Courier is a string. What you need is a BaseFont object. Try using
the FontFactory class or BaseFont.createFont(...)
//FontFactory
myObj.FontFactory = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.FontFactory");
local.bf = myObj.FontFactory.getFont(myObj.FontFactory.COURIER).getBaseFont();
//createFont()
myObj.BaseFont = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont");
local.bf = myObj.BaseFont.createFont(myObj.BaseFont.COURIER,
myObj.BaseFont.CP1252, myObj.BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
Then use javacast on the size like Mark mentioned.
//cast the size as a float
local.cb.setFontAndSize(local.bf, javacast("float", 12));

naw, it's the font (static numbers should almost always go through ok--though i
use a java lib that even wants strings cast). he's set it to a string
("Courier").
>> local.bf = myObj.BaseFont.Courier;
got to go the extra mile:
BaseFont=createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont");
bf=baseFont.createFont(BaseFont.COURIER,BaseFont.CP1252,BaseFont.EMBEDDED);

Re: iText create bookmark for a page

Has anyone created a jws iText master file yet for coldfusion???
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("TDA9800_CNV_4.pdf");
java.util.List bm = SimpleBookmark.getBookmark(reader);
SimpleBookmark.exportToXML(bm, new FileOutputStream("c:\\ic.xml"),

System.out.println(bm.toString());
If you are only passing strings to a CFC I would suggest using jws instead.

Re: Itext Checkbox
I found the answer, if you do a
AcroFields.getAppearanceStates("fieldName") it will return what value it
expects.
So the correct answer is:
setField("IMACHECKBOX", "Yes");

No errors, just won't check the checkbox. pdfStamper? yeah it's setField methods want strings. i guess start dumb, does getFieldType on that field return FIELD_TYPE_CHECKBOX (i think 2)? i don't recall ever dealing w/checkboxes (ie quick code search here comes up empty) but from the examples it looks like a button/widget that you have to actually draw the checkbox so i'm not exactly sure how this thing will behave as an acrofield. you might have to ask on the itext list. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:243449 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Re: iText error
Snake... I'm not sure if you have "full access" to all that iText does (with the version built-in to CF). You MAY have to install another iText JAR file and use that version. There are some issues with doing that as CF ignores the new iText JAR file unless you tweak something (just can't recall what it wasbut the solution is in the archives...and I was part of that threadrecall talking about iText versions in that thread).

Re: iText (calling Paul Hastings)
> Does anybody using iText to produce PDFs have an example of a complex > header/footer?? well there's chapter 12 in the iText tutorial. then there's the examples found on itextpdf.sf.net, specifically head_foot.java. it looks like you'll have to work w/PdfWriter's setPageEvent (PdfPageEvent: onStartPage & onEndPage). might actually require you to write some java (might not i haven't tried using this technique on headers/footers yet). btw this class gives you a large amount of granular control of the PDF creation process. > So far all I can do is add a simple phrase to the header (with the > horizontal line under that). It seems way to limited if you ask meany > thoughts? I'm only about 4 or 5 days into messing with the package ;-) no, the com.lowagie.text.HeaderFooter class is for your basic header/footer. its dead simple to use but is limited in what you can control. i think that might summarzie iText's style of doing things. easy classes for 99% of your needs but they have more complex, more powerful classes when there's a need for that kind of complexity.

Re: iText (was Re: CFDJ isn't exactly kicking bootay)
SCP is secure copy or the cp command over SSH. Putty has a program named pscp or Putty SCP that will allow you to do SCP from the command-line on Windows. For example, transferring a file is as follows. prompt> pscp somefile.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/username/somefile.txt -Matt On Jan 9, 2004, at 11:03 AM, Bryan Stevenson wrote: > Yeah I have Putty and use it for root level access (nice and > secure)still learning my Linux commands...but scp is a command > right? secure copy? > > Bryan Stevenson B.Comm. > VP & Director of E-Commerce Development > Electric Edge Systems Group Inc. > t. 250.920.8830 > e.
