[iText-questions] Complex structures arranged in columns: possible?
I am trying to assemble a LETTER-size page that I would like to transform into a Landscape-oriented page which is divided into two halves. Rotating a LETTER page is not a problem and I can also restrict the document to just the left-hand side of my Landscape-oriented page but I would like to also use the right-hand half. I am also using headers and footers (using the HeaderFooter class). So, ideally when the PDFWriter gets to the end of the left-hand side of the page, it would continue on the right-hand half of the page, effectively making two columns of content. I have tried using the ColumnText class but more complex content such as Tables (or Tables inside Phrases) cannot be rendered with the ColumnText. It appears only text can be put into a ColumnText. Any suggestions? Alan ___ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions
[iText-questions] SAXmyHtmlHandler
Hi, As part of a PDF report that's being generated by software that I am working on, a small amount of HTML data is parsed and inserted into the document. Ideally, this text should be placed in a cell in order to preserve alignment with the rest of the report. However, SAXmyHtmlHandler() accepts a DocListener as a parameter - is there any way to get the output of this inserted within a cell?

[iText-questions] Using the PdfReader(byte[]) constructor
I have used IText now for over a year now and have never quite come across this particular problem. I have a component which must take a java.io.InputStream and then convert the InputStream into a byte[] so the document can be read and then appended to an existing pdf document. The PdfReader continues to throw: java.io.IOException: PDF header signature not found. at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PRTokeniser.checkPdfHeader(PRTokeniser.java:159) at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader.readPdf(PdfReader.java:184) at com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader.(PdfReader.java:115) at com.bp.nagp.confirm.pdf_generator.ByteArrayTest.main(ByteArrayTest.java:80) I get this particular error when reading the pdf from a DataInputStream and constructing the propery byte[]. The number of btyes in the array match those in the file. However, the encodings appear to be different. Any ideas? Thanks. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: [iText-questions] Display Bug: scaled-down copy of page is overlaying the original page
Just found the solution... it's apparently caused by a bug in Acrobat 5.0x (prior to .05). Upgrading to 5.05 solved the issue.

RE: [iText-questions] Display Bug: scaled-down copy of page is overlaying the original page
I also applied a template on the header. The redicted URL did not work for me. I sort of go around the problem by using the following ( on UNIX ): set the header to be "application/pdf", and then "cat pdfFileName"; So far, it works on IE and Netscape.

RE: [iText-questions] Re: HeaderFooter and extra page problem
I keep seeing questions similar to this pop up on the list. Does anyone know why an extra page is generated if you place headers in the onStartPage? It seems to me that the onStartPage should not be called unless content has already been added that would cause another page to be needed. It seems to me that it is caused by the two newPage() calls at the start of the PdfDocument close() method. Does anyone know why these are there? They should cause an onEndPage (rightfully so for the current page) followed by an onStartPage, which indicates to the listeners that another page is needed even though it isn't. Couldn't newPage() be broken into two private methods (such as endCurrentPage and startNewPage) and only endCurrentPage be called within the close() method? This would seem to do away with the restriction of writing content within the onStartPage. This restriction was one of the two reasons that I had to copy the addPTable method and place all content myself instead of using the built-in layout mechanisms. Since I have dynamic vertical header lengths I could not just start placing content and go back and place the headers later (because the header might not have fit, or it might have had too much vertical spacing after it). The other reason I copied the addPTable method (if anyone cares) is that I I needed to indent tables on both the right and left (different from the margin settings) and there was no clean and convenient way to do this that I could find. Again, my real questing is why the close() methods needs to cause an onStartPage event? A.J.

RE: [iText-questions] Re: indentation of columnText
I can't see the reason for this. A negative first line indent will achieve
the same.

[iText-questions] HeaderFooter and extra page problem
I am using the HeaderFooter class. For the header, my Phrase consists of a Table inside a Phrase. However, my footer is simply a Phrase that consists of a simple String. What I add to the Document are multiple Tables, each with setTableFitsPage(true). These Tables are used to properly layout each content "part" of the Document. Everything looks quite good so far, the document handles the paging (I never explicitly add a newPage() myself), the Table contents are kept together, header/footer look OK. But two problems: 1. extra page at end of document. Only the header and footer are on the page. We need to get rid of this extra page 2. different spacing between the header and first content "part" on a page, when comparisons are done between the first page and subsequent pages If I use the onStartPage/onEndPage method of adding headers/footers, the document has some text squished together on the second and subsequent pages, and still has the extra page! I would appreciate help especially with what possible causes during my construction of the document that would create the extra page. If there are relevant old mailing list articles, please point me to them. Thank you.
