[iText-questions] Extracting form field meta data

2006-02-09 Thread Richard Braman

Title: Message



I am trying to 
extract form field meta data out of a PDF form that uses 
FDF.
 
I dont want the 
data, ie what the user filled in
 
I want the data 
about the fields on the form including:
 
name of 
field
type of field 
(textbox, checkbox, etc)
location of field 
(rectangle)
font size used for 
text
 
I need this on a 
page by page basis, in other words I to iterate through each pages in a 
document and etxract this meta data page by page.

[iText-questions] Grainy images

Title: Message



SOme of the user

PDFs.  I managed to get my page xtracted as an image, but when it came out 
it was clear but has this strange background "fuzz"  I was wondering if any 
of you had any idea.  here is my java code. I know this is not an itext

If anyone else on this list has some experience with it and has some extra

I would be willing to work with them on a sub-project to get a true SVG

We could built it to be both Java and .Net compliant

1) Yes, SVG can be placed into iText in a roundabout way.

The Apache Batik project is fully compliant with the current SVG spec.
What you do is load the SVG using Batik and then paint it into a
PdfGraphics2D Object.

I am working on a wrapper that will let and SVG file be used as simply and
Image in iText, but not Done yet.

I believe if you search the iText mail archives, there is a rather large
example.

2) Yes, WMF files keep their vector information.  Actually, it is one of the

Best WMF parsers I have seen, I actually reused some of it to parse WMF's

RE: [iText-questions] Retrieving of the content of stream objects

2006-02-09 Thread A. S. Golub

 
Back to the streams again...

When I'm trying to read the content of stream, I use the following code:

PdfStream stream;
...
byte[] byteStream = PdfReader.getStreamBytes((PRStream)stream)

Variable 'stream' refers to a stream object from source PDF document. As you
know, this stream object is represented in the document in the following
form:

dictionary
stream
... stream of bytes ...
endstream

When I call method getStreamBytes(), I expect to obtain the content of the
stream (marked as "...stream of bytes..." in my schema), and I expect to get
exactly that number of bytes which is specified in the stream's "Length"
property. But method returns much more bytes then specified in the "Length".
Why ? Does method getStreamBytes() returns information contained within
stream part of the object stream as already decoded information ? Could
anyone explain, how to obtain the content of object stream in that simple
form (array of bytes) which could allow me later to create exact copy of the
stream ?

You cannot (at least as far as I am aware and I get a compiler error if I try 
it) add a String to a Cell with addElement. You need to wrap it in a 
Paragraph or similar. Apart from that the code is functional.

Hmm, so what's the best (and most future-proof) to generate form fields
then? The "direct" way without the getAcroForm() "high level" API?

The reason I am highly interested in this is because I am just in the
process of writing an extension for jasperreports to produce PDF forms
and I want to make it as reasonable as possible.

[iText-questions] Arbitrary text under barcode

2006-02-09 Thread Jay Parashar

Title: Arbitrary text under barcode






Hi all,

I know we can display or hide the text representing the barcode with setFont(null) etc. Can I put any arbitrary text instead of the text that makes the barcode?

Example...generates barcode for XXX.ABC. I want the text as “Item Abc”. Is there any way we can change the text dynamically to make it user friendly? The barcode should still scan XX.ABC only the text is different. I know we can do it using cells, tables etc.

Thanks.

Jay

Sorry for the long wait, but I've been rather busy. I've run your example and 
don't get any errors and the document works, the header or footer table is 
displayed.
Please specify what version of iText you are using.

[iText-questions] Using nested tables from xml interface

2006-02-09 Thread Javier Barletta

Hi,

I'm trying to use iText to convert xml files to pdf files. I have some 
experience with iText but using it from java code. Now, I don't get the same 
functionality by using XmlParser class. Concretely, I need to generate a form 
using nested tables. Am I wrong or iText is not a powerful tool to convert xml 
in pdf files by using nested tables?  

Thanks!

by

Javier.

[iText-questions] Parsing HTML and generate PDF - Table Problem

2006-02-09 Thread Fuhrmann, Michael

Title: Parsing HTML and generate PDF - Table Problem






Hi All,


I'm currently developing an application to generate PDF Files out of HTML - Sites.
Therefore I'm using the SaxMyHtmlHandler. The application works fine with 1 exception.

When I try to convert tables the resulting table looks completely different.

Now my question: Is it possible to change the convertion method e.g. by overwriting the class?

My main problem is that the first column of the generated table is much too large.

That's why I would like to trigger that event and set the width of the column by myself….

Apart from that I would also like to change the look of the table.


Thanks a lot

Michael

[iText-questions] Problem with hidden fields

2006-02-09 Thread Udo Rader

Hi,

so here comes another problem I stumbled upon. After inserting a hidden
field, the data submitted does not contain any fields. Here's again what
I am doing:

--CUT--
pdfWriter_.getAcroForm().addSingleLineTextField( 
"foo", 
"somevalue", 
base_font, 
text.getFontSize(), 
llx, 
lly, 
rux, 
ruy );

pdfWriter_.getAcroForm().addHiddenField( "bar", "nothing" );

pdfWriter_.getAcroForm().addHtmlPostButton( 
"sender" 
label,
null,
url,
base_font, 
text.getFontSize(), 
bllx, 
blly,
brux, 
brul );
--CUT--

This way, the data transmitted doesn't contain neither
the foo nor the bar value.

If I comment out the addHiddenField, the "foo" field data
is transmitted.

So is this a bug or am I again missing something?

Thanks in advance

[iText-questions] pre submit checks

2006-02-09 Thread Udo Rader






Hi, 

Somehow I am not able to make reasonable pre submit checks using itext.

What I want is to execute some arbitrary _javascript_ code before a form is
submitted.

Here's what I do:

--CUT---
PdfFormField button = new PdfFormField(pdfWriter_, llx, lly, rux,lux, null );

PdfAction submit = PdfAction.createSubmitForm(url, null, PdfAction.SUBMIT_XFDF );
PdfAction some_action = PdfAction._javascript_( "app.alert('hello');", pdfWriter_ );

button.setAction( submit );
button.setAdditionalActions( PdfName._javascript_, some_action );
--CUT---

This way, the form is actually submitted, but the alert never shows up.

Then I tried to reverse the order:
--CUT---
PdfFormField button = new PdfFormField(pdfWriter_, llx, lly, rux,lux, null );

PdfAction submit = PdfAction.createSubmitForm(url, null, PdfAction.SUBMIT_XFDF );
PdfAction some_action = PdfAction._javascript_( "app.alert('hello');", pdfWriter_ );

button.setAction( some_action );
button.setAdditionalActions( PdfName.SUBMITFORM, submit );
--CUT---

Now the alert shows up, but the form is not submitted.

So what's the correct way to implement this?

thanks

Udo Rader

I just tried that, but there are two things i don't really like. First, the
line is too thick in relation to the Font size i'm using in the table
(HELVETICA, 8), even with setBorderWidth(1). The lines used to draw the
chars are much smaller so the rules looks too thick.
Second the line starts at the table borders without taking care of the cell
padding which doesn't really look smart. So i wonder if there is a way to
take these both aspects into account?

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph(new Chunk("PSTN",
FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 10;
  cell.setColspan(9);
  cell.setBorderWidth(1);
  cell.setBorder(com.lowagie.text.Rectangle.BOTTOM);
  cell.setBorderColorBottom(new Color(0x00, 0x00,
0x00));
  table.addCell(cell);

Thanks for your help.

[iText-questions] Word and Charecter Spacing

2006-02-09 Thread M 501


Hello,

I try to generate a dynamic document where all heading should be printed 
with a certain font and color. This is no problem. I simply added a new Font 
using the BaseFont - class.


Now I also want to set the charakterand word spacing but I don't know how. 
Is it possible to simply set the word and charakter spacing for the font? Or 
can I set the spacing for the chunk?


Is this possible without using the DirectContentByte?

Greetings Peter

Yes, it sounds like - at least for the simple stuff - you've 
got it handled.  The only area that isn't covered would be the case 
of an annotation (like a Stamp) where there is more than one stream 
that needs to be stored.




Now I'm solving an inverse problem : how to create PDF annotation using
pre-populated value-object (container of annotation properties) and iText
library.
This way worked for all simple properties, untill I've enocunered streams.
This type of data is a mixed type, and I was confused not knowing how to
handle this type of data.


Look at how setAppearance() works - that what it is doing, 
setting a stream.




You pointed out that I must go low level - and I did. After additional
examining of PDF Reference it seemed to me that I've found the right way of
setting the annotation appeearance, but before starting the implementation I
asked you to check my logic.


Yes, you are definitely on the right path!!

[iText-questions] PdfStamperImp enhancements for keeping the integrity of the original PDF

2006-02-09 Thread Tenesi

Hello everybody,

My aim is to add one page from a Pdf to  another Pdf without
touching its previous content (incremental update). For that the
Catalog, Pages tree and some other objects should be updated into new
xref-ref table for sure. The idea is not to touch the previosu
structure (PdfCopy or PdfCopyFields are not approperiate) because it
might have been signed and we don't want to invalidated the byteranges.

Q1: Is this a right assumption or it can be done with the current library without changes?


Reading the documentation and looking into the source codes of
PdfStamper, PdfStamperImp and PdfContentByte, It seems some refactoring
is needed to overcome the restrictions to be able to do this. I tried
to use the followin code at the user application level:


 com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader pr = new com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader("originalfiletobe updated.pdf"); 
 com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper update = new com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper(pr, os, '\0',true);
     
 com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader reader2 = new com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader(baos.toByteArray());
 com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamperImp stamperImp =(com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamperImp)update.getWriter();
 
stamperImp.newPage();
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte directContent = update.getWriter().getDirectContent();
directContent.reset();
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfImportedPage ipage= update.getImportedPage(reader2,1);
directContent.addTemplate(ipage, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0,stamperImp.getPageStamp(pr.getNumberOfPages()));
update.close();


It obviously will not work as the way StamperImp initializes and keeps
track of its pageResources is not the way the PdfContentByte is
designed to follow (It rather awaits this info be encapsulated in a
PdfDocument instance)


Q2: Does the code  suffer
an understanding problem or it might had made sense, provided that the
pageResources were set properly? Is there a work around for this or
anybody know of a possibility to overcome this problem?


Q3: What would you suggest to
do to achieve this goal of "ADDING" a page (or some other extra info
which needs  updating  previous objects in the pdf document
(Catalog/ Pages ...) ) to a Pdf deploying the incremental update
possibilty provided in PDF-Specifications?

Tnx

Hi,
 
I've read most of the docs but I still have some 
  simple questions that some of you may answer...
I'm using iText in order to generat only 
PDF...
 
Is it possible to define a table with variables 
  cell width (without using cell.setColspan() method)
 
I've seen in the doc that when a table reach the 
  end of the page it is automatically split and continue on the other page. Nice 
  but however is there a way to repeat the header of the column at the beginning 
  of the new page?
 
Thanks for your help

[iText-questions] BarcodePDF417 question

2006-02-09 Thread Ricardo Borillo Domenech

Hi all!!

I'm new to iText and I'm trying to produce GIF/JPG output images from a
BarcodePDF417 (Macro PDF 417). 

Here's my source code:

First pdf417_0 = new BarcodePDF417();
String text_0 = "text in the barcode";

pdf417_0.setMacroFileId("00");
pdf417_0.setMacroSegmentCount(2);
pdf417_0.setMacroSegmentId(0);
pdf417_0.setText(text_0);
pdf417_0.paintCode();


And here are my questions :)

1. What's the function of setMacroFileId("00") ?
2. After this code, i retrieve a byte[] representing the barcode:

   pdf417_0.getOutBits()

   What's the format of this information? It's an image? 
   How can i produce a GIF/JPG?


Thanks in advance

[iText-questions] Default cell & ruler in table

2006-02-09 Thread Frank Fischer

Hi all

I have two questions regarding itext.

I got a little bit confused after trying to work with
PdfTable.getDefaultCell(). First i can not find that method in the api docs
(but it compiles, so it's there). Second, it does not work as i expected. I
expected that when setting attributes via getDefaultCell() this attributes
would be taken for any cell in the table, unless a particular attribute of a
particular cell is manually overwritten (by setting that attribute using the
cell's setter-method). 
But it seems, that, whenever i create a new cell, the settings of the
default cell are not used but instead some other (api) default values are
used. Is that right? So this would mean, that i would have to set all
default cell params if i only want to change one param on a particular cell?

I would like to set a horizontal ruler between two table rows, something
like:

text in row 1
--
Text in row 2

How can this be done?


Thanks a lot for your help!

- Frank

RE: [iText-questions] Retrieving of the content of stream objects

2006-02-09 Thread A. S. Golub

Yes, I have read the PDF Reference 1.6 and regularly re-reading its chapter
8.4 called "Annotations" :). That is why I'm asking you in such details.
Cannot say that 1236 pages of the reference gave me much enthusiasm, but...
 
I've already made routine that reads the set of basic "properties" from
annotation dictionary into special value-object, that is used for
re-creation of rough copy of annotation later. These basic properties are of
simple types : integers, floats, arrays of integers/floats, names, strings.
Properties of the reference type, which aren't interesting for me for a
while for recreation purposes, I represent (for simplicity sake) as
references in their string form "{number} {generation} R". Properties of
dictionary type are a little bit more complex, but when they consist of the
simple types (or insignificant references), they are easy to be read too.
Everything is stored just fine in my value-object.
And then I encountered property that is of content stream type. I didn't
know how to retrieve data from such property, therefore I've asked you for
the help (a little bit hasty - before your reply I've found the proper
means). Now I know how to extract data from content steams.

Now I'm solving an inverse problem : how to create PDF annotation using
pre-populated value-object (container of annotation properties) and iText
library. When I started to use iText library, I expected that library will
provide necessary simple classes which allow to create blank template for
arbitrary annotation object and then populate this template by required data
in "field by field" way using appropriate setters. When annotations were of
simple type, it worked. But then I've encountered the caret annotations.
Such type of annotations wasn't present in the list of creation methods, and
I started to find workarounds to solve this problem. Reading the mailing
list I
found out that I can solve this problem by considering my PdfAnnotation as
PdfDictionary and to create caret annotation from, say, text annotation by
changing property responsible for annotation type using PdfDictionary's
put(PdfName.SUBTYPE, new PdfName("Caret")) method call.

This way worked for all simple properties, untill I've enocunered streams.
This type of data is a mixed type, and I was confused not knowing how to
handle this type of data. Moreover, I was confused by PdfAnnotation's
instance method setAppearance() - I thought that if class has such setter
method for appearance, then some class should be able to create appearance
using appearance-specific methods. But I couldn't find such methods and
asked for help.

You pointed out that I must go low level - and I did. After additional
examining of PDF Reference it seemed to me that I've found the right way of
setting the annotation appeearance, but before starting the implementation I
asked you to check my logic.

And now, knowing all history, could you say, am I on the right way in
setting annotation appearance as dictionary of PdfStream objects ?

I checked Paulo's suggestion to look into the FdfWriter's and
PdfStamperImp's code, but unfortunately I couldn't manage to find the hint
for solving my problem.

Sorry for the long letter - I wanted to describe the situation as detailed
as possible.

Re: [iText-questions] iText - PDF standard

2006-02-09 Thread Tan Dunlin


Hi Paulo,

I am standing from consumer point of view, wondering if the PDF 
generated using iText will be able to meet PDF 1.5 / 1.6 standards.


If yes, which version of iText should be used?

Please advise.

Thanks.
