Re: [iText-questions] Polish National Characters are not getting displayed in the PDF created by iTExt
Hi Thank you for the response. However, i am not sure which font i should be using to display polish national characters. The number of fonts that i have tried on my Windows XP is: comic, times, arial, helvetica, But i am still unalbe to get the Polish characters. I am at my wits end. It would be of great help if someone can let me know which font and which encoding type i should be using to display the Polish Characters in my PDF reports generated by iText.

Re: [iText-questions] modifed sample, question on PDF contents
No - articles/threads/beads have NOTHING to do with structured PDF. See 14.7 (Logical Structure) and 14.8 (Tagged PDF).

Now, as Bruno points out, at it's core the PDF page is just a series of drawing instructions (eg. moveto, drawstring, moveto, drawline, etc.) and so any determination of how these elements go together must be done by various heuristic models. It's complex, but many developers have written solutions. HOWEVER, PDF DOES support a concept called 'structured PDF' where the various drawing operations are grouped into logical concepts such as paragraphs, tables, etc. In such documents, you now have the information you need to make higher level logical extraction possible w/o the need to guess. Just to make sure I'm on the right track and to summarize for anyone else who may be interested in getting information out of pictures, it looks like the article,thread,bead notion would be the place to look. In the PDF Reference I have, it is in chapter 8, interactive features but I seem to recall when I first read this I did find a section on structured documents. The PDF32000 document seems to point to chapter 14.7 for logical structure. Are there other key words that may be worth examining? FWIW, the reflection invokation of methods specialized to each of the types that itext extracts from the PDF document seems to work quite well. I started with a limited set of handlers and then as I encountered unhandled types, I could grep the itext source code for public methods and AFAIK that gave me some idea how to dump or traverse the new type. Not exactly a design method but for an empirical/hacking approach it gave me some idea what was going on. Now on to the spec and documentation... Thanks. BTW, do you have any offhand thoughts or comments on using a PDF document to contain information on molecules ? It also occured to me that this format combined with the right authoring tools could make a decent language for GUI code generators. Someone was asking about this on a BlackBerry forum and just thinking off the top of my head, it wouldn't seem unreasonable if you already have a graphical document design tool with form capability to use it to generate j2me code ( opposite of what other guy was suggesting LOL). _ Hotmail® is up to 70% faster.

Re: [iText-questions] modifed sample, question on PDF contents
Articles/threads and beads were a VERY early attempt in PDF to define some form of structure - but it had/has two major flaws. 1. It is limited in what it offers 2. It doesn't actually link with the content. No one uses that stuff anymore - I really wouldn't waste your time on it...

[iText-questions] Best way to go for automating PDF creation ?
Hi all I'm currently considering iText as a replacement of an existing pdf generation facility, but I'm facing difficulties in finding out which way to go safely. Currently, it's done through xhtml transformed to pdf, but the whole architecture can be changed if needed, so we might for the best approach. Indeed, on one hand the tagmap has a discontinued support. As far as I get it, I could still manage to use it writing my own handler, as in the book, but then what about future upgrade ? On the other hand, I could go for StyleSheet and loadTagStyle, but the extend of the html markup covered isn't clear, thus following this path is quite uncertain. What would you suggest ?
