Re: [iText-questions] How can I set the correct leading!
Ok! First thanks for your answer. The problem is, that I asked the wrong question. The question that I would ask was, what can I do, that the paragraph with the big font size will not overlap the paragraph with the small font size. The best thing for me would be if the small paragraph is directly written under the big paragraph without any overlaps. Any ideas what I could do? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [iText-questions] Does exist a concept like a container?
You can set a clipping path before adding the image that will define what will be visible. This clipping path can be a rectangle or any other shape or combination of shapes.

[iText-questions] Using Layers To Construct a PDF Foreground/Background Dynamically
Hello I have used iText but have a question on which I would very much appreciate some help. I would like to create in iText a foreground PDF that is set of images (some with hyperlinks), for example, a trail map. I would like to include in the document a hyperlink to the actual background terrain map PDF document itself, which would be retrieved by clicking on the hyperlink in the foreground PDF. My objective is to pass the foreground PDF with the trail map to the client browser session allowing the client to dynamically superimpose the background map into the document so that the foreground trail map overlays the background map on the client side. Ideally I would like to have this occur seamlessly in the client browser session without the user needing to click anything with some embedded code in the PDF but my first question is how to create the foreground layer that can pull in the background layer in a client browser session. Any suggestions very much appreciated? Thank you very much Pat - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

oldStroke is already transformed, it's the saved originalStroke that must be
used. I commited the a new change but it would be better if Christoph Wagner
said something about the fix in the SVN working (or not) for him.

Use OCG. There's an example of such a map in chapter 12 of the book "iText in Action". First the map looks like a raster image, when the user zooms in, he says a vector image. There's a "Layers pane" on the left he can use to enable/disable layers. This pane could easily be replaced by links (as described elsewhere in the book). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

What do you mean by "this doesn't work at all"?
Have you looked at the area you defined with the
coordinates (40, 720), (360, 750)? I mean: you say
you want the TextField to be added at some position,
then you arbitrarily chose some coordinates.
What do you mean by "I don't find a trace of this
text field in the resulting PDF"? Have you opened
the PDF in a text editor and found out there is no
AcroForm? Have you looked at the PDF in an analyzing
tool such as RUPS and seen there is no form present?
Personally, I'd add the TextField in a cell event.
The cell event passes the writer and the necessary
coordinates. You refer to the book: do the examples
that come with the book work for you?

At first sight, this looks like a good bugfix.
The change is in SVN; if Paulo (who is more familiar
with the PdfGraphics2D part) agrees, it will be in the
next release.

Actually iText 1.5.4 is the version that is officially approved for use in IBM products by their lawyers in Canada. Anticipating questions about later versions, I now keep strict logs about all changes and license stuff. They won't get any help for reviewing older versions, but if IBM's lawyers in the US want to spend an equal amount of money for the same job, they'd better invest it in further development of iText. br, Bruno - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

This is not an iText related question. This is a simple JAVA question.

[iText-questions] Problem in PdfGraphics2D
Hi,
I am using the PdfGraphics2D to print a rather complex UI to a PDF using
iText. I got a problem where rectangles changed their thickness
intermittently. After hours of debugging I found the reason for the change:
Before that I printed a underline string using this code:
AttributedString as = new AttributedString (textToPrint);
as.addAttribute (TextAttribute.FONT, font);
if (isUnderlined)
{
as.addAttribute (TextAttribute.UNDERLINE, TextAttribute.UNDERLINE_ON);
}
pdfGraphics.drawString (as.getIterator (), left, (float) top);
This lead me to debugging the PdfGraphics2D class where I found the
following codeblock:
476 if(underline)
477 {
478 // These two are supposed to be taken from the .AFM file
479 //int UnderlinePosition = -100;
480 int UnderlineThickness = 50;
481 //
482 double d = asPoints((double)UnderlineThickness,
(int)fontSize);
483 setStroke(new BasicStroke((float)d));
484 y = (float)((double)(y) +
asPoints((double)(UnderlineThickness), (int)fontSize));
485 Line2D line = new Line2D.Double((double)x, (double)y,
(double)(width+x), (double)y);
486 draw(line);
487 }
The problem is the setting of the stroke in line 483 without preserving the
current stroke. The fix should be to set the original stroke back after the
draw in line 486 ( make a call to setStroke(oldStroke); in line 487).
Let me know what you think.
Christoph Wagner
