Re: [iText-questions] Netscape Acrobat plug-in problems

[Jeff Larsen]

Follow up: 

I discovered that in NS4, I can hit the Reload
button after getting the blank page and the plugin will
load and display the PDF!

However, NS6 just doesn't like dynamic PDF at all. I can't
even get it to load the example at 

http://www.lowagie.com/iText/examples/pdf.jsp

but it does work on the static iText example files.

This makes no sense at all

Jeff

Re: [iText-questions] Cells Merge ?

[Matt Benson]

It could have something to do with the default Cell
being used in this case.  If you haven't already, try
using Table.setDefaultCellBorder() and other similar
methods to get what you want.

[iText-questions] Netscape Acrobat plug-in problems

[Jeff Larsen]

This may not even be an iText problem, but hopefully somebody
out there has dealt with this before. I have a servlet running
on Tomcat 4.0.3 via Apache 1.3.23 that generates dynamic PDF 
with iText. Despite the advertised problems, everything works 
great with MSIE. However both Netscape 4.7 and Netscape 6.2
fail to display the generated PDF. They don't even get as far
as showing the Acrobat toolbar. Just a blank page.

If I configure the browser to use Acrobat externally, everything
works fine with Netscape, it's just when using the plugin that
there is a problem. Also, if Acrobat is uninstalled, then the 
browser just prompts to save the file and the resulting PDF file
is also OK when read with Acrobat standalone.

I've tried different machines running both Win NT and Win 98.

Anybody out there have any ideas on what the problem is?

Thanks, 

Jeff

RE: [iText-questions] Encripted PDFs

The document must always be decrypted before being used. This is a
consequence of the way encryption works in a PDF. Any other tool will have
to decrypt the PDF first.

For true-type fonts iText can use two approaches. One is to use an
encoding that will convert the Unicode character into a byte that will be
placed in the PDF content stream and is limited to 256 characters. The other
is to have the encoding IDENTITY_H that is actually a "no encoding"
encoding. This way each character will occupy 2 bytes in the content stream
but all the font characters are directly accessible.

No, thank you. I have enough information for Linux, Solaris and MAC
OSX. All the systems can use true-type fonts in the awt so a perfect match
is always possible.

RE: [iText-questions] Read PDF

[Paulo Soares]

The problem here is exposing too much information. It's easy to get the
field (and the widget) information but using the information to create a new
field, probably changed, is a lot of work. Do you have any idea on how to
present the field information to the user?

[iText-questions] Encripted PDFs

[Josh Ellison]

I have been using your product for over a year now and I am very happy with how it 
works.  I got a
new task now, I am trying to put a bunch of PDFs into one big PDF so they can easily 
be printed out
in order.  I came across a problem.  I noticed that your program can't open encripted 
PDFs.  I
realize this isn't a bug, it is just how it is.  I was just wondering if there is a 
way to output
encripted PDFs along with other PDFs in one big PDF.  I'm using the PDFReader class to 
open a PDF
and write it to my PDFDocument.  Is there another way to do this that will work with 
encripted PDFs?

Parsing the appearances isn't all that important for forms, 
etc.  It's more important to be able to read the AcroFrom dict, find 
the form fields and their values.  THEN putting in new ones.   But 
that's also part and parsel of the whole issue of being able to read 
in and write out non-content.

I've got a stream parser we can use when the need for it comes.

Re: [iText-questions] Charts to PDF...

[David Gilbert]

I took a look at your example---thanks---and now I have some code that 
displays Unicode characters using the Arial Unicode MS font (I don't have the 
font you used in your code).  I create the DefaultFontMapper object (based on 
your code, modified for my font directory on Linux):

DefaultFontMapper mapper = new DefaultFontMapper();
mapper.insertDirectory("/opt/jbuilder5/jdk1.3/jre/lib/fonts");
DefaultFontMapper.BaseFontParameters pp = mapper.getBaseFontParameters("Arial 
Unicode MS");
if (pp!=null) {
pp.encoding = BaseFont.IDENTITY_H;
}

After looking at the code in DefaultFontMapper I can see that the code above 
is changing the encoding from CP1252 to IDENTITY_H.  Can you explain what 
that means, I'm a little out of my depth with fonts.  I've heard of Cp1252, 
but what is IDENTITY_H.

Regards,

DG.

P.S.  While reviewing older posts, I found your request for the output of a 
small Java program that lists the available fonts on Linux.  Do you still 
need that output?

RE: [iText-questions] trouble with PdfPTable

[Paulo Soares]

PdfPTable works this way:

- each row is independent of other rows

- the height of all the cells in a single row is calculated

- the height of that row will be the height of the tallest cell in that row

- the process repeats for each row. NO height is passed from row to row.

If you have more questions regarding this, draw the expected table in GIF,
PNG ot JPG so that I can see graphically the result.

[iText-questions] XML - PDF questions

[Shrikant Shetty]

hi,

I am evaluating Itext for building a report  (XML - PDF). I am able to 
build most part of it but there some problems while drawing lines & 
printing headers.

My report format is like this :


Status : Assigned
  
--
id : 1201   Submitted by: Herman, Pete  Submitted: 01/02/02

blah  blah  blah

  
---
id : 1202   Submitted by: Waugh, Steve  Submitted: 01/02/02

blah  blah  blah

  
---
Status : Impact

id : 1201   Submitted by: Herman, Pete  Submitted: 01/02/02

blah  blah  blah

  
---

Now whenever I am on a new page I have to print the "STATUS" and a line 
below it.
The problem is
a) how do i get the current "STATUS" value in the onStartPage (PdfWriter 
writer, Document document) Event / Method.
i.e How do I use PdfWriter / document to access the data ?.

b) Is it possible to access the XML tags in these Events. if so How?.

c) I am drawing a line using  tag, but I cannot alter its 
width. Is it possible to draw
lines using XML tags?.

d) how do I use generic tag functionality in XML.  ex. (Status)
so that I can trap the generic tag event  and customize the page?.

I have seen Chap 1201 example and have used it to build the footer of my 
page dynamically .
But how do I use it to access tags ("STATUS")?

I tried using Chapters & Sections. but it doesn't let me use 
 inside these tags.


Thanks In Advance
Shrikant.

 i want the height of each row in accoradance with the data in that row.like first row

the data will be dynamic so each row should adjust the height accordingly.presently

Exactly.  I'll see what you did, and how it compares to mine. 
[time passes] I like what you did with the HashMap - definitely makes 
more sense then what I was doing with individual calls for each one.

I also added support for getting some of the other "info" 
that programs like Xpdf's pdfinfo and Acrobat's "Properties" 
show...Let me know if you want it or not.

Feel free to start on forms, since that's what more people 
(myself included) will find the most useful.  Of course, almost all 
of this info is only half useful, as you also need to the 
"manipulating" part that Bruno and I have been discussing...

[iText-questions] Absolutely position + regular formatting

[Aviram Jenik]

Hi,

I want to use the PdfContentByte to write directly to the PDF document, but
to also use the regular Paragraph classes that take care of the alignment,
etc.
How can I combine the two? The pdfDocument will overwrite the content byte
area.
How can I tell the pdfDocument to skip pass the content byte area?

Thanks,
Aviram Jenik

RE: [iText-questions] How to limited demo which runs for 30 days for my user

[Paulo Soares]

With so many decompilers floating around this will only give you
psychological relief not real security. You can have a file with some
encrypted information based on some registration key and date. The program
would need to find the file with the correct information to run.

RE: [iText-questions] Read PDF

[Paulo Soares]

Extracting the info was 30 minutes work. I'm tempted to start work to
extract information on the outlines and probably annotations (this only
leaves the forms behind) but the problem is how to expose the information. I
can do as PJ and show the start dictionary but I doubt that many would be
able to use it. I attach the info extraction.

Paulo Soares

You need to create a new PdfTemplate and PdfGraphicsd2D for each page.

[iText-questions] trouble with PdfPTable

[anwar mahmood]

Hi,
I am using PdfPTable for generating reports. The problem is if in one cell the data is 
very large then the height of this partcular becomes the height of all the cells. In 
short all the rows are of the height of the of the row with max height.
If i use setFixedHeight then data is getting truncated. 
what should i do??

thanx in advance.
