Benoit, Mark H. writes: I need to place our company logo in the top left had corner as well as Repeat the name of the report on the top of each page.

What I have done, is using the onStartPage, I add the image to the doc, as well as adding a paragraph which contained the report title. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] onStartPage should not be used to produce output (i.e. to write things to the document), only to set variables. I don't know how you did the footer (using the HeaderFooter object?) but in case of the header I think you've got something wrong. Don't add images and text in inStartPage. Add it in onEndPage, not with document.add(someImage) or document.add(somePhrase), but with an image and text that are added with absolute positions (using the PdfContentByte object). If necessary, you can make the top margin a little bit bigger to make some space for your company logo.

[iText-questions] Absolute Positioning Text and Measurements Problems
I need to position texts and lines in determined positions (measured in cms.). I have had a look on the page http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/ch01.html http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/ch01.html Margins Section, in particular about how to convert from cms into points and, for instance, i want to draw to horizontal lines one 2 cms. further than the other: 2cm / 2.54 = 0.7874 inch 0.7874 * 72 = 57 points (56.6928) cb.moveTo(300, 700); cb.lineTo(400, 700); cb.moveTo(300, 700 + 56.69f); cb.lineTo(400, 700 56.69f); I generate the PDF, print it and take a rule to measure the distance between the two lines ... it measures less than 1.8 cm What did i do wrong?

[iText-questions] Tables in Header
Hi, I have been using the iText API for a while now and have been quite impressed with it. The only thing I need to be able to do is to include a table in the header or footer of a PDF document. It is mentioned in the headers and footers section of the tutorial, but the link (to chapter 12 I think) doesn't provide any additional information on how to actually do it. Is this possible and if so, how?

Hi Bruno, I follow the list and read most of the emails. It seems that a lot of people would find their answers if they could search your website.

You may want to look at that and see if it helps the users to find what they are looking for. It's not the perfect search tool but it is free. Again: GREAT LIBRARY!!!

RE: [iText-questions] Using different fonts and ... positioning text
There are several ways of doing this. Your way works if you embedd the font and use the start/stop character '*'. My last version, that is not yet official, supports barcodes without external fonts. Besides that, it has the advantage that it gives you the final dimensions of the barcode, before it's placed. The use for direct positioning is direct.

[iText-questions] Searchable Text
What are the requirements for text to be searchable in PDF?
What I'm doing is this.
I'm trying to create an alternate method to generate mainframe xerox forms.
I've created a parser for the xerox form language that will create
PDFTemplates.
When I go to match the report data to the template I have to be very
explicit (the forms are many, and very complex), So I determine the spacing
to use and put the report line to the template 1 character at a time.
---CODE SAMPLE---
formTemplate.beginText();
formTemplate.setFontAndSize(baseFont, pointSize);
//Write out the report line a character at a time
for (int i=1; i lineSize; i++) {
if (String.valueOf(lineChar[i]).trim().length() 0
!Character.isISOControl(lineChar[i])) {
formTemplate.setTextMatrix(new Float(xVar).floatValue(),
height - (new Float(yVar).floatValue()));
formTemplate.showText(String.valueOf(lineChar[i]));
}
xVar = xVar + charSpacing;
}
formTemplate.endText();
---CODE SAMPLE END---
My problem is the report data is not searchable. I've tried putting the
data out in words (buffer until space), and using setCharacterSpacing()
to keep things looking good. But if I use setCharacterSpacing(1) the
report data is not searchable either.
Thanks for the help,
Matt
