Re: [iText-questions] Hard mask from image file
M.-Leander Reimer wrote: But the byte array I would require must be bigger than 8x8 and would need to differ from image to image, so a statically defined byte array is unsuitable. You are referring to the example in Chapter 5, but you probably overlooked this paragraph on page 157: In real life, you'll want something that looks much better than figure 5.10, but this example serves mainly to introduce the theory of hard and soft masks in images. A hard mask has only one bit per component; 1 covers the image and 0 is transparent. A soft mask contains a gradient from 0 to 1. We'll deal with this concept in more depth later on in chapter 11; this is just a simple example that serves as an introduction. So the questions is: Can I make a hard mask directly from images loaded from a file, and if so, what formats are supported here?

Re: [iText-questions] SOLVED How to Enable Save Attachment Dialog in Adobe
Ok i figured out the root of the problem. For Adobe there is a difference between a) An attachment somewhere on a specific page writer.addAnnotation(PdfAnnotation.createFileAttachment(writer, new Rectangle(100f, 650f, 150f, 700f), This is some text, some text.getBytes(), null, some2.txt)); b) An attachment attached to the PDF writer.addFileAttachment(This is some text, some text.getBytes(), null, some.txt); Method b) will enable the Save Dialog in the Attachment Pane, whereas a) will not. The only way to issue a save is rightclick on the annotation hotspot. I did not find an option to actually reproduce a hotspot with attachment link like a) in adobe acrobat to see if the pdf performs the same... Whats the difference between the two ?

Re: [iText-questions] SOLVED How to Enable Save Attachment Dialog in Adobe
Thanks Bruno, i know about GOTOE - sadly this is not supported in Adobe Reader below 7.0. The whole point of showing attachments on pages with hotspots was - that there is no viewer preferences for the attachment pane below A.R. 7.0 - because there isnt an attachment pane at all for 6.0 for example - so users who are using this older client have no knowledge where to search for attachments. Any other ideas ? (Adobe does check for its versions exactly for the problem described above with some user javascript to tell the user where to find attachments when using Acrobat 8.1 - it will open a javascript popup and say there are attachments which you can find in version X there, and in version Y there) --- Bruno Lowagie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Harakiri wrote: Whats the difference between the two ?

[iText-questions] Populate forms that do not use Acro Fields
I have a collection of forms that I need to automatically populate based on data in our database. I have looked at the Register example on the site, and the example works great for forms that use Acro Fileds ( PdfStamper.getAcroFileds()). I am running into several forms that do not return any fields using this approach that I need to find a way to populate. I am a beginner, so any help is greatly apprciated. One of the forms that I need to figure out how to populate but does not have a Acro fileds is found here - https://www.pfizerhelpfulanswers.com/files/C2C_English.pdf . Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits. Just data.

Yes, you can use the Launch action to also open up attachments.

- Original Message - From: scott carter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Saturday, 14 July, 2007 3:35 PM Subject: [iText-questions] Populate forms that do not use Acro Fields I have a collection of forms that I need to automatically populate based on data in our database. I have looked at the Register example on the site, and the example works great for forms that use Acro Fileds ( PdfStamper.getAcroFileds()). Yes, but the examples in the tutorial can only carry you so far. What you really, really need to do if you wish to work with iText is purchase a copy of the book _iText in Action_ (see the Buy the eBook link at www.lowagie.com/iText). I am running into several forms that do not return any fields using this approach that I need to find a way to populate. You should not expect to be able to populate fields that do not (yet) exist. Burn this fact into your brain permanently. You'll be glad you did. I am a beginner, so any help is greatly apprciated. One of the forms that I need to figure out how to populate but does not have a Acro fileds is found here - https://www.pfizerhelpfulanswers.com/files/C2C_English.pdf . Anyone know how to do this? Yes. There are several examples in the book (see Chapters 2 and 15) and on the book support site that will be helpful to you in your quest to convert PDF forms (unfillable) into AcroForms (fillable). Thanks in advance. You're very welcome! Reminders: (1) Buy the book. (2) You can't fill fields that don't (yet) exist.
