Use Paragraph-objects and set the alignment to ALIGN_JUSTIFIED.

First of all, you can have several (Pdf)Writers listening
to one and the same Document-object, so if you ask the Document
for a pageNumber, it doesn't know what Writer you mean.
You have to ask the (Pdf)Writer for the pagenumber.

Second remark: you can trigger a new page with the document.newPage()
method, so there is no need to add empty paragraphs.

Use PdfPTable instead of Table.

Just add something (preferrable something that doesn't show up
when you print it) to the page.

You have to ask the (Pdf)Writer for the pagenumber, not the
Document-object. This is logical if you think about it: several
writer can listen to one and the same document. There is no way
a document can know which pagenumber (of which writer) you need.

[iText-questions] Forcing pagebreaks

[Zielke, Andreas]

Hi *,

I've just started to play around with iText. My short-term goal is to convert 
ASCII-files into PDF-files. As I'd like to keep the initial formatting, I chose 
Courier as font and made every line of input into a "Paragraph"-object, after
stripping linebreaks (\r\n or \n). I'm doing fine with most of the input, but 
the ASCII-data contains 0x0C (form feed) characters, too.
I've already created an empty paragraph

Font courier = FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.COURIER, 10);
Paragraph emptyPara = new Paragraph("",courier);

which I also use as a replacement for input lines which only contain 
linebreaks.
So at first I tried this after reading 0x0C chars:

int pageNumber = pdfDocument.getPageNumber();
while (pageNumber == pdfDocument.getPageNumber()) {
pdfDocument.add(emptyPara);
}

But this seems to be an endless loop; though I don't understand why.
Next I tried more or less the same thing with PageEvents, but this try did
just the same thing - falling into an (presumably) endless loop.

Any suggestions how to do this right?

Cheers,
  Andreas

[iText-questions] Correct rending of Arabic fonts

[SAY Ferdinand]

Hi.  I tried to use arabic fonts (Traditional Arabic Bold) in iText library
but iText is not displaying correctly.  I manually reverse the string (right
to left), still only the letters of the arabic words are reverse but the way
it is written is still incorrect. Will iText support correct display of
Arabic characters in the future?

Regards,
Ferdie Say

Hi all,


We have made some research on the 
'Error Locating Object Handler' problem and 
I'd like to share my experience with you in the
hope that it may help somone who has faced the 
same thing.


The problem occurs with Acrobat Reader 4.0 and MSIE 5.0


The possible reasons of this problem can be:


1.) The URL of the generated PDF (usually a servlet's URL)
is too long. Our one was 468 chars long and it didn't work,
so we shortened it to about 120 by renaming and/or eliminating
parameters and the problem went away, however an other PDF
generation still produced the issue: see reason 2.


2.) There is a DLL called nppdf32.dll that needs to reside
either in 
Program Files\Internet Explorer\Plugins
- and -
Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\browser


In our environment it was missing from the latter folder.


So, if you can, avoid this configuration.


HTH,
Gyula

[iText-questions] Creating new pages / page numbers

[Paul Warren]

I am current creating PDF documents using absolute positioning of text
and graphics, as described in chapter 10.

I'm a little confused about how to start a new page, and how to get the
current page number.  At the moment I am calling:

  document.newPage();

which works, but only if something was actually written to the previous
page.  This is not a great problem, but is there anyway to force a new
page?  

Is there a way to get the current page number?  document.getPageNumber()
always returns 0.

I suspect that I'm misunderstanding what this function is supposed to
do...

Paul

Yes, but you may want to look at other SVG-generating software too.

No, you can sell a commercial program that uses iText as
long as you don't change the copyrights of iText and as
long as you point the buyer to the source code of iText
(your own program may remain closed source).
You can read more about it in the MPL.

PDF to PS is possible but I don't know which tools to use.

If you know the exact positions of your 'name-boxes', you can import
an existing page, add it to a new document and paint some text (from
your database) over the imported page at absolute positions.

I don't have an example.

Support for other encodings in XML is not written yet.
You can use a (rather dangerous) trick to solve the
problem (if your JVM is used for one purpose only):
set the encoding in FontFactory to the one you want
to use. Development of XML functionality is frozen
for the moment.

Hello list-members,

Is it possible to generate pdf document with greek, cyrillic or any language 
characters with the iText xml API?


...

  Euro :  € 
  Some cyrillic characters: И я 


This example is efficient with the euro character but isn't with the cyrillic.
And I know that comicbd support the cyrillic characters.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
