[iText-questions] Concerning fields on PDF forms
Everyone, Can anyone help me figure out how to place fields on a PDF form in a particular tab order where some of those fields share the same datapoint name? To illustrate where I'm coming from, and perhaps preclude some to-and-fro, I have an extended multipart thought experiment. Consider a postcard with fields for a return address (FromName, FromStreet, FromCity), a destination address (ToName, ToStreet, ToCity), and the sender's name (SignedBy). My desired tab order is: FromName -> FromStreet -> FromCity -> ToName -> ToStreet -> ToCity -> SignedBy whereupon the tabbing repeats. Solving this is simple: Instantiate a TextField for each of these fields and write them to the document. The order you write these fields to the document shall be the tab order. Consider that SignedBy field. It holds the same information as FromName, and its stupid to ask for the same information twice. This is satisfied by two text fields named FromName near the upper left hand corner of the page and near the bottom of the page. This is less simple, but tractible: Instantiate "parent" PdfFormField that we'll name FromName and then instantiate "kid" TextField objects. You can use these kid objects' GetTextField() function to get a kid PdfFormField object to link to the parent via AddKid(). Then with parent and kids linked, we can write the parents to the document. This works except for the tab order: when we tab from the first kid of FromName, we want to jump to FromStreet, and when we tab from the second kid of FromName we'll want to jump to FromName's first kid. This doesn't happen. My experiments show that when I write the parent, FromName, it places both kids into the file at that time, resulting in the following tab order: FromName (top field) -> FromName (bottom field) -> FromStreet -> FromCity -> ToName -> ToStreet -> ToCity. But how can I tell iTextSharp to write FromName's first kid, then hold off on writing its second kid until after the field ToCity is written so as to preserve the desired tab order? Here's one thing I tried that (almost, but) doesn't work: Create all the kids, write them to the document in tab order. Link them to their parents. Write the parents to the document. You get all the fields in the desired tab order. But if you open the document and delve into its internals with the EnFocus low level PDF browser, you'll see there's duplication going on. The kids have been written to the document twice. This is kludgey, but it preserves tab order. I could live with this ugliness until I learned that Adobe Acrobat won't let you delete these fields, or in some versions dying horribly in the attempt. I did some searching and read Paolo's cryptic words that I only partially understood: You can change the tab order by changing the order that the fields appear in the annotation dictionary. Is this pertinent to my question? Can anybody point me to some sample code where this is done? Thanks in advance, I'm much obliged for all your help. smiles and cheers, steve poling grand rapids, MI -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php

Use "Arial Bold" as the font name instead of just "Arial" should do the trick...

Hi;
We're getting this issue from one of our customers. The PDFs we create use
unicode for all text so all fonts are embedded. We build the PDF from a Word

I open new document in Word.
Add some text, choose Arial in the fonts dropdown list.

Open the PDF in Acrobat Reader. The font types are now Arial-MT and

When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional, I can perfectly add some

text, I get an error message that the font is a subset and that no compatible
system font can be found. Which is strange because I have ARIALBD.TTF in my
Fonts folder.
Any ideas?

Re: [iText-questions] pdfimportedpages content disappears when using selectpages
To give a little more information about what I'm doing: I was originally using pdfwriter to create a new pdf the same as the original but with resized pages and some text underneath. This turned out not to be the best option for me because I wanted to retain the rotation of the pdf pages but use one algorithm to add the text. I couldn't find out a way to re-correct the rotation with writer so I decided to use stamper and reader so that I could: 1) remove the rotation pdfname 2) resize and add text, then 3) add a rotation pdfname This works fine but i end up with double the ammount of pages because the original pages remain. im sure someone would have had to do this before. does anyone have a solution?

Re: [iText-questions] Printing both sides with iText
I should clarify a little bit...
Because it is a security risk (as Bruno points out), the file needs to be
"trusted" in order for it to execute w/o the UI. A trusted file can either be
certified by a trusted certificate (which you can do with iText) _OR_ it can be
in a trusted location (folder, web site, etc.) as specified in the Trust
Manager of Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

That will only work with old versions of Adobe Reader.
Newer versions of Adobe Reader consider printing without prompting as a
security hazard. In other words: what you want to achieve has been made
impossible with Adobe Reader.

Open PdfStamper in append mode. Note that in Acrobat 9 you'll have an indication of signature invalid, that's a change of behavior from Acrobat 8.

Subject: [iText-questions] add a watermark to a signed PDF without
losing the sign?
Hi all.
After a couple of days triyng about, and read many posts, I'm unable
to add a watermark to a existing signed PDF without broken it. In
Adobe reader the signature appears broken, with error "byte range is
invalid".
I know that this can be posible, because I have done it manually
though Adobe Acrobat Profesional. (Document->Watermark->Add). I have
open "pdf_signed.pdf" file, and add a watermark to every page of it,
saving the result file to ""pdf_signed_and_watermarked.pdf".
I have compared both two files, pdf_signed.pdf and Acrobat resultant
"pdf_signed_and_watermarked.pdf", and the latest is identical byte to
byte to the original one, but with a added content. As if the added
content act as a "revision" or "upgrade" of the original document.
My question: How can I make this with iText ?? If iText
can't: There are
another library that I can use?
thanks

Re: [iText-questions] signing pdf with external signature
Hi!
I don't think that model is too unusual, you are likely to find it whereever
you have heterogenous load-balancing signature card farms instead of
workstations with individual card terminals, and have to cope with an API that
decides just in time which signature card to use, e.g. in medium-volume
e-billing contexts.
amarianoelaide,
the second possibility you mention can not work as data from the certificate is
integrated into the signed data. The first possibility only works if each user
has one and only one certificate that might be chosen for him; this might not
be a realistic assumption in the long run considering scalability issues.
You might want to try something like this, at least if the signature creation
and manipulation APIs you use allow you to create signatures in PKCS#7 format
for a given hash:
pdfStamper = PdfStamper.createSignature(pdfReader, null, '\0', targetPdfFile,
true);
pdfSigApp = pdfStamper.getSignatureAppearance();
pdfSigApp.setVisibleSignature(new Rectangle(area[0], area[1], area[2],
area[3]), signaturePage, signatureLabel);
pdfSigApp.setImage(Image.getInstance(imageUrl));
pdfSigApp.setLayer2Text("");
PdfSignature sigDic = new PdfSignature(PdfName.ADOBE_PPKMS,
PdfName.ADBE_PKCS7_DETACHED);
sigDic.put(PdfName.FT, PdfName.SIG);
sigDic.setDate(new PdfDate(calendar));
sigDic.setReason(signingReason);
sigDic.setLocation(location);
sigDic.setContact(signerContactInfo);
//sigDic.setName(signerName);
pdfSigApp.setCryptoDictionary(sigDic);
pdfSigApp.setAcro6Layers(true);
HashMap exclusions = new HashMap();
exclusions.put(PdfName.CONTENTS, new Integer(containerPlaceHolderSize*2+2));
pdfSigApp.preClose(exclusions);
then hash pdfSigApp.getRangeStream() and create a PKCS#7 signature container in
a byte[] signatureContent, then
PdfDictionary updates = new PdfDictionary();
byte out[] = new byte[containerPlaceHolderSize];
System.arraycopy(signatureContent, 0, out, 0, signatureContent.length);
updates.put(PdfName.CONTENTS, new PdfString(out).setHexWriting(true));
pdfSigApp.close(updates);
As you don't know beforehand which certificate will be used for the signature
you obviously can't include data about the certificate in signature
representation. Simply use an image descriptive enough; details about the
certificate are visible in the signature properties.
Regards, Michael.

Call this piece of code CASE1.
So what's the problem?
The problem is that to use the CASE1 I need to observe a strict order for
the operations:
1-get the certificate to use for the signature operation
2-use a PDFReader to read the pdf to sign
3-use a PDFStamper to modify the pdf creating the signed one
4-use PdfSignatureAppearance to create the "signature field"
5-fill this signature filed with certificate, reason, location etc
6-get the hash to be signed
7-sign it with an external proc

The PDFs we create use unicode for all text so all fonts are embedded. We build the PDF from a Word document. I open new document in Word. Add some text, choose Arial in the fonts dropdown list. Add an other line of text, choose Arial in the fonts dropdown list and select the "bold" button. Save the document as an RTF Create a PDF. Open the PDF in Acrobat Reader. The font types are now Arial-MT and Arial-BoldMT. And it are embedded subsets. When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional, I can perfectly add some text to the default Arial text. When I want to add some text to the bold Arial text, I get an error message that the font is a subset and that no compatible system font can be found. Which is strange because I have ARIALBD.TTF in my Fonts folder. Any ideas? thanks - dave <>-- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php
