OK, you can fix the width of a table, but you will never know the width of the text inside. People can change the font in their browser (even if you specify a font in the HTML) and you would be splitting words at the wrong positions.

[iText-questions] Problems with the Internet Explorer plugin
The proposed solution of using a ByteArrayOutputStream does not work. IE 6 still displays a blank screen. I have found a way to fool Internet Explorer into displaying a pdf file served from a servlet. The trick is to set the content type= "application/vnd.fdf". This automatically launches the Reader and displays the requested file.

No, it can't parse ALL HTML, just some XHTML-tags. When I rewrite my tutorial I want to write it ONLY ONCE. I will write 'tidy' HTML using a CSS. Then I intend to parse this to convert it to PDF.

Re: [iText-questions] iText0.90
I find this hyphenation character idea interesting.
Obviously it would not work for HTML output, so that
writer would not have to care about it. There might
be different approaches to this:
One way would be to create a Word class which can be
added to a Chunk. A Word could be composed of
Syllables, which could be treated as unbreakable
entities. This approach would probably necessitate a
change in Chunk's implementation to store content in a
List instead of a StringBuffer. The List could then
hold Strings or Words. Strings could be treated as
groups of words separated by whitespace without having
to internally turn them into Word objects. My main
concern with this approach is the number of objects it
might create.
Another approach that might work is to do something
like this:
public class Chunk implements Element,
MarkupAttributes{
//all the usual stuff
private StringBuffer content;
private ArrayList hyphenPoints = null;
public void hyphenate()
{
hyphenPoints = (hyphenPoints == null) ?
new ArrayList() : hyphenPoints;
hyphenPoints.add(new Integer(content.length()));
}
public int[] getHyphenPoints()
{
int[] result = new int[hyphenPoints.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++)
{
result[i] =
((Integer)(hyphenPoints.get(i))).intValue();
}
return result;
}
}
Then a DocWriter could use this returned array in
conjunction with whitespace, etc. to know where to
place hyphens if necessary. This seems lighter-weight
but possibly more difficult to implement.
Any thoughts?

It would be nice to finish the PDF tutorial before you get beyond version 0.99, then you could go to 1.00 perfectly.

[iText-questions] iText0.90
Hello all, I'll be travelling through Catalunya next week, so I wanted release 0.90 (based on Paulo's versions 93 and 94), extended with the new RtfWriter from Mark Hall soon enough. I started writing the tutorial about forms, but it's not yet in the release because I have some ideas concerning AcroForms that I want to work out first. I didn't add much functionality myself. I followed the suggestion of AJ Wilson concerning the problems with the onStartPage-event, I fixed some font issues (see mail Christopher Lomvardias) and I added a method Font.getFamilyname (this method should allow Mark Hall to support other fonts in RTF). This is what I still have on my todo list (harvested from numerous mails): - tutorial AcroForms (+ possibly some extra features) - extending HTML parsing: parsing a CSS - background color for Chunks (Paulo?) - constructing a Cell with an 'UNDEFINED' border by default (kind of having an undefined leading) - rewrite the complete tutorial, keeping the Chapter numbers, but not numbering the examples + add a general introduction about PDF - once the CSS parsing works and the tutorial is rewritten: make a PDF version of the tutorial less important to me (but also on the list): - maybe some extra features for a Paragraph: indentation for the first line, leading for the first line,... - a Label object so that you can have a tag in XML to put text on an absolute position (but Paulo doesn't like that kind of objects ;-) - PdfCell: images and text: how to wrap them? - supporting a PRE tag (XML package) - updating the iText scheme + DTD and/or - studying FOP - introducing some 'marks' in a Chunk where the chunk can be split adding a hyphenation-character - writing a SAXHandler that adds elements to a TextElementArray instead of a DocListener - downloading and studying JasperReports and/or JFreeReport - making the iText logo look more professional kind regards, Bruno ___ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions

RE: [iText-questions] linebreaks in tablecells
PdfPCell.setNoWrap(boolean) works for PDF generation. If set to "true" it suppresses wrapping, even if as a result the cell content collides with the adjacent cell or flows beyond the table's left margin. I am not sure about Cell.setNoWrap() since I mostly work with PdfPTables.

Note that the DEFAULTS you set in setDefaultCellBorder
only apply to some methods.
For instance if you do:
myTable.addCell("Cell added as a String");
this cell will have no borders.
But if you do:
myTable.addCell(new Cell("Cell added as a Cell"));
this cell will not follow the default
because the layout of the Cell you created
has priority over the default layout.
Maybe Cells should be created with an
UNDEFINED border... I'll think about this
for a future release.
The code sample you have sent us doesn't show
us which method you used to add Cells.

RE: [iText-questions] linebreaks in tablecells
Gerd, note sure if the following will solve your problem: if you enter all line breaks manually, you should set Cell.setNoWrap(true), so that line-breaks inserted by the automatic wrapping don't interfere with your manual line breaks.

[iText-questions] linebreaks in tablecells
Hi, I've got a problem with linebreaks in table cell in a PDF document. I create a simple tablecell by using new com.lowagie.text.Cell( String content ); The content text contains new lines, e.g. '\n', but not '\r\n'. You can see the result in the screenshot (taken from AcrobatReader 4 on Linux) in the cell with the text 'anmerkung ...'. It seems that each '\n' causes two linebreaks instead of only one. Or is there any layout property, that I can set to avoid this ?

You would have to change iText internally. No, this is not an option. To meet your needs a 'GenericTagEvent' is added. You could pass a String (for instance "1;1.500") as a generic tag. This String can be parsed in the EventHandler: add 1.500 to the counter of column 1. See example 9 of Chapter 2 for an example on generic tags. So now you have a 'luxoury problem', instead of no solution, you can chose between two solutions: 1. you put all your data in a table and keep track of all sums. As soon as the table doesn't fit the page, you delete the last row of data (and change the sums accordingly) and you add a row with the sums to the table before you add it to the document. You start with a new table on the next page. 2. you let the Event class handle all calculations. You pass all values with a generic tag and onPageEnd you put the sums at absolute positions on every page. kind regards, Bruno ___ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions

What do you want to achieve? Also keep in mind that iText is not like EXCEL. How do you expect to pass the different values that need to be calculated to the Event class?

Why would you let a Servlet extend PdfPageHelper? I don't understand the way you think. No Servlet can ever extend PdfPageEventHelper (why should it have to?). Normally you create a seperate class MyHelper that extends PdfPageHelper and in that class you define the behaviour of your events. You use an instance of this class in the setEvent method.
