Something very strange is happening indeed.
Is it possible to show us how you are creating the tables?
(just the code for the first 4 column table).

That's because the JSP is interpreted on ServerSide.
To get the code of pdf.jsp, download the examples.tar.gz
from http://www.lowagie.com/iText/downloads/
or browse the CVS repository:

I have some old projects that still use style="bold".
Nobody mentioned any problem, but I fixed it anyway
(because there WAS a problem). If style isn't used the
CSS-way, I add the removed attribute to be treated
the 'old' way.

[iText-questions] Version .91 vs. .81 issue

[Prohaska, Jennifer]

Hello - 

I created a PDF document with version .81 and everything worked fine.  I
recently downloaded version .91 and attempted to create the same document.
The document created with .91 now has some major formatting problems (my
java code used to create the document has not changed, only the version of
iText has).  

Does anyone know why going from iText.81 to iText.91 would be causing this?
I've attached the two documents.

Thanks for any help.

[iText-questions] Multilingual (Chinese/English) fonts

[Jay Teo]

Hi,

I am generating PDFs with data coming from the database. And the data 
can be in either English and/or Chinese. For example, some customers' 
name may be in English while others are in Chinese.

Ideally I want to be able to just use one font regardless of the 
language. Now the problem is that all the fonts in Adobe's Asian 
Language Pack have big ugly roman letters!  All the TrueType fonts I 
have seen so far have this problem too.

So my question is does anyboby know of a Unicode TrueType font (with 
Simplified Chinese) with acceptable roman fonts in them?  Nothing fancy, 
I just want the roman letters to look like Helvetica or something.

Thanks.

Yes, it's just another FontFactory-problem.

RE: [iText-questions] Character Set: Displaying Euro symbol

[Yalavarthi, Vasu]

I am not embedding any font.
I am using "Helvetica", "winasi" font with a font size of "8".
Doesn't this font contain the Euro symbol character?

Should this font be present on the server-side (where pdf is generated) or
the client side (where the pdf is viewed in an Acrobat reader/plugin)?
The reason why i am asking this question is, If i use my machine as the
server, i could see the euro character from reader on mychine and if i use
some other machine as server, i couldn't see the euro character. In both the
cases, the client is the reader on my machine.

Any suggestion to overcome this problem?

Thanks,
Vasu

If you are not embedding the font then Acrobat uses the available font in
the system or if this font is not available uses the built-in font. One of
the fonts used does not contain the Euro character.

[iText-questions] precision of real numbers in pdf

[David Teran]

Hi,

i noticed an example in PDF 1.4 reference using real numbers with more 
than two digits after the period. In iText, format double cuts off all 
except the first two digits after the period for number greater than 1 
and lower than 32767. Is this the real maximum precision of PDF or just 
an iText specific thing? Would numbers with four digits after the period 
be more precise?

[iText-questions] more on font in xml

[Thomas McKay]

The comment for MarkupParser.parseAttributes() says that the string passed
in should be of the form:

'key1="value1"; key2="value2";... keyN="valueN" '

However, the nested string tokenizers parse first on ';' then on ':'.  The
latter should be '=', no?

This is called from FontFactory.getFont().  In that method an attribute of
MarkupTags.STYLE is checked for which in turn leads to checking for
MarkupTags.CSS_* attributes.  However, MarkupTags.STYLE is check for again
later in the method as well.  Perhaps the first tag should be
MarkupTags.CSS_?

One other question, there is a MarkupParser.parseFont().  Should that method
be called instead of MarkupParser.parseAttributes()?

So, back to my original question:  How do I properly specify a font of Times
New Roman, size of 12, italic?


blah blah blah


Although the Times New Roman phrase does not work, the size and style do.

Take a look at this example:
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/examples/cv.xml

If you convert it with iText0.91, it doesn't look
very well anymore. I used this example to test the
bugfixes that will be in the next release.

Remark: it should also be possible to use CSS-like syntax:

But I didn't test this yet.

There were several bugs introduced in the XML part after

and you can find the new source code in the CVS repository.

[iText-questions] image problems

[Chad Brandt]

I am creating pdf files that have images through out the file and I am 
encountering the following problems:

When the image is aligned in the center and it is the last thing on the 
document and the image is to large to fit on the existing page. Itext does 
not create a new page with the image, instead it just cuts the image out of 
the resulting pdf document. Is this a known bug? Is there any work around 
for this?

The next issue I have encountered is when I want the image on the left and 
text to wrap around it. The text wrapping only appears to work when the 
image is on the right. Is this a limitation of the existing application? 
Also when I have the image on the right and the text on the left it does 
not really wrap, instead when the image ends the text still only goes up to 
where the image was and not the full length of the page.

Any work around or suggestions would be helpful

Thanks,
Chad Brandt

baos.writeTo( response.getOutputStream() );

at2.translate(x, y);
at2.concatenate(font.getTransform());

It's not supported by PDF. The modifiers are not really applied by the

You are missing the g2d.dispose().

RE: [iText-questions] Character Set: Displaying Euro symbol

[Paulo Soares]

If you are not embedding the font then Acrobat uses the available font in
the system or if this font is not available uses the built-in font. One of
the fonts used does not contain the Euro character.

[iText-questions] Error with derived Fonts

[Erwin Achermann]

Hi Paulo and other iText-ers,

derived Fonts carry along an AffineTransform (e.g. for fancy things like backwards 
leaning font) 
I fixed this almost by subclassing PdfGraphics2D. But there remains a discrepancy 
between java.awt.Graphics2D and my com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfGraphics in placing 
Strings, which I really do not understand. 

In the following two examples, uncommenting the global transform yield the same 
picture on PDF as well as on screen, but with the global transform the two pictures 
differ (obviously by the shearing amount is interpreted differently)... but I don't 
see where this should/does/does not happen. 

Thanks for your comments
Cheers
Erwin

Re: [iText-questions] font markup attributes question

Quoting Thomas McKay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I noticed there is a bug in this part.
I just checked the examples and I have seen that
some attributes are not taken into account.
I have a meeting now, but I will try to fix this
in the afternoon.

kind regards,
Bruno
