There must be something wrong with your implementation of
PdfPageEventHelper.
Check the code for what the error says : unbalanced save/restore state
operators.
If after revision, you can't find your error, send the code of your
PdfFormatter to this list.

[iText-questions] help - PdfTable and PageEvents

2009-08-18 Thread Victor Dbritto

Hi,

I am generating pdf file with table going on multiple pages(Using
FragmentTable.java).
It is generating pdf correctly.
but when I give events like onOpenDocument,onEndPage using following code,
Here PdfFormatter is class extending PdfPageEventHelper.

PdfWriter writer1 = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, os);
PdfPageEvent pageEvent = new PdfFormatter();
writer1.setPageEvent(pageEvent);

its giving error like - Unbalanced save/restore state operators.

Could you please let me know what is wrong with this.
How to give onStartPage, endPage events to pdf file with table going on
multiple pages.


Thanks,

[iText-questions] No pages when using PdfSmartCopy

2009-08-18 Thread Tobias Hasegawa





Hello,

I'm working on a small program that has to resize pages which I am
doing with PdfContentByte/Document.setPageSize.
This works fine if I'm doing it on a PdfWriter.
The problem is that I also have to keep additional information such as
named destinations. I am able to keep this information with an extended
PdfCopy (and using writer.addPage). But
when I add the pages with 
document.newPage();
contentByte.addTemplate(page, 0, 0); 
the pages are not (?) added. When I run the program I get an error:
"The document has no pages." (at
com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfPages.writePageTree on document.close()).

Note to my program: It is basically a copy with some page resizing.

My questions:
Why does this kind of page-adding work on PdfWriter but not on PdfCopy?
Is there a solution for making it work on PdfCopy?

Thanks in advance.

Tobias

You've already been referred to the FAQ.
It's almost certain that the manager who has assigned you this task actually
wants something different.  In any case,
iText does NOT take on the responsibility of extracting the human prose we
see in a PDF image, so your question might better be addressed in some
different forum.

Sorry, I think what you are asking for may not really be possible in the

Re: [iText-questions] Re ading Tables

2009-08-18 Thread Leonard Rosenthol

A PDF file does not contain a data structure called a table.  What may appear 
to you as a human being as a "table" is simply a series of lines, filled areas, 
text, etc.  You would need to perform semantic analysis on the objects in 
question to determine if they meet your definition of a "table".

(this assumes that PDF in question was not properly created using the "tagging" 
feature of PDF).

First, go get about 100Gb of memory, and a 100Gb Ethernet link,
then, start the download and then go start a pot of coffee, perhaps
clean out your attic, LOL.
Sorry, couldn't resist- I'm always giving these guys a hard
time on the resource requirements for many PDF files and your
question was a bit open ended. 

I guess the question may be, what exactly do you want to do?
That is, you can type it out as an ASCII file and get some readable
output or open it in any reader. The spec document will tell you how
to "read" the contents.

Re: [iText-questions] SpotColor and equals()

2009-08-18 Thread Paulo Soares

SpotColor is an extension to Color and includes everything needed to render 
the color: the spot color and the tint. PdfSpotColor is the primitive 
representation that includes the spot name and the alternate colorspace; it 
should not include the tint. Removing the tint from PdfSpotColor is the 
logic thing to do but I'll have to discuss this with Bruno, it will break at 
least one example in the book.

Subject: [iText-questions] SpotColor and equals()


I tried to build an object cache reducing the time to create equal colors 
multiple times and thus reduce memory consumption and garbage collection 
time of our application.

This does work well for java colors, CMYKColor and GrayColor.

However, the itext SpotColor class uses the following equals method:

public boolean equals(Object obj) {
return this == obj;
}


This of course makes the same spot colors unhashable.

I'd like to suggest use the following code to instead as a change:

public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (!(obj instanceof SpotColor)) {
return false;
}
SpotColor c2 = (SpotColor)obj;
return (spot.equals(c2.spot) && tint == c2.tint);
}


This checks for equality by requiring the PdfSpotColor objects to be used to 
be equal and having the same tint but not requiring object identity of the 
SpotColor object itself.

This would be an improvement but still not correct since the PdfSpotColor 
does not implement an equals method itself.
However since the tint value is present in both classes providing a correct 
comparison is difficult.

Is there a specific reason why the tint value is duplicated (and possibly 
not in sync) between SpotColor and PdfSpotColor?

[iText-questions] SpotColor and equals()

2009-08-18 Thread Ludger Buenger

I tried to build an object cache reducing the time to create equal colors 
multiple times and thus reduce memory consumption and garbage collection time 
of our application.

This does work well for java colors, CMYKColor and GrayColor.

However, the itext SpotColor class uses the following equals method:

public boolean equals(Object obj) {
return this == obj;
}


This of course makes the same spot colors unhashable.

I'd like to suggest use the following code to instead as a change:

public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (!(obj instanceof SpotColor)) {
return false;
}
SpotColor c2 = (SpotColor)obj;
return (spot.equals(c2.spot) && tint == c2.tint);
}


This checks for equality by requiring the PdfSpotColor objects to be used to be 
equal and having the same tint but not requiring object identity of the 
SpotColor object itself.

This would be an improvement but still not correct since the PdfSpotColor does 
not implement an equals method itself.
However since the tint value is present in both classes providing a correct 
comparison is difficult.

Is there a specific reason why the tint value is duplicated (and possibly not 
in sync) between SpotColor and PdfSpotColor?



Best regards,

Ludger

Re: [iText-questions] Hyphenation for iText

2009-08-18 Thread Leonard Rosenthol

If you're already doing the layout - then you are right, IDServer is a waste.   
That would be the main reason for using it - is to let it deal with the 
complexities of content layout combined with the H&J engine. (and other misc. 
things like format import, etc.)

IIRC, the hyphenation stuff in iText is based on the Knuth/TeX hyphenator, so 
you may be able to leverage their stuff. However, be aware that some languages 
aren't strictly table based for hyphenation.

Google is your friend!
If you search with "itext find string coordinates", one of the first links
(the 3rd based on my locale and maybe personal settings) leads to:
< http://www.nabble.com/The-iText-functionality-td15571904.html >
which reads :

"[...] There is no free software that I know of
that will give you the coordinates of a String "S"
that appears somewhere on a page. [...]"

With the same search string, on Nabble one would have found this thread:
< http://www.nabble.com/Serach-string-in-pdf-td24371752.html >

It's the very same question, asked something like a month ago, and answered
in the very same way (and by the very same person :D ).

And I do believe it's pretty easy to find more examples, surely by
fine-tuning the search strings.

This kind of questions is based on a strong misconception about what PDF /
PDL is.
It usually arises when the OP has been assigned the task to edit some
existing PDF file.
Wouldn't the natural way be to
- Go to the iText website
< http://1t3xt.com/ >
- Click on the documentation tab
< http://1t3xt.com/docs/index.php >
- Click on the FAQ item
< http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/faq.php > (the domain switch has always
mislead me, I admit, but anyway...)
- Click on the entry "Can I edit an existing PDF file?"
<
http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/faq.php?branch=faq.pdf_in_general&node=replace_word>

And there you have the full explanation on why editing a PDF file (with
iText or any other 3rd party lib) is something nearly impossible.

I hope I've clarified a bit how to find answers to you future questions
about using iText. And if not, suggestions are most welcome!

Cheers,
alexis

Re: [iText-questions] Access Permission VS Encryption

2009-08-18 Thread Leonard Rosenthol

Those are terms you've come up with to create a differentiation.  So no, I 
can't really explain.

As a general answer, you can do either or both of the following

* Prevent someone from opening a PDF w/o a password
* Allow anyone to open a PDF BUT apply a set of restrictions/rights on the 
document

Both of these involve encryption.

http://1t3xt.info/api/constant-values.html#com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter.ALLOW_ASSEMBLY
etc.)

PdfEncryptor encrypt my pdf with standard encryption at 40 or 128 bit.
In this way of course i can set Access Permission, but i set also Document 
Security.

So, also Metadata are encrypted.
And search engine can't access to encrypted Metadata.

Is there a way to set Access Permission without setting also Document Security?
And sorry for the stupid question but:
which is the difference between Access Permission and Document Security (except 
for the encrypt and password) in a pdf file?

Thanks in advance!
Regards
M

Re: [iText-questions] Adobe 9 complaining about PDF/A where as Adobe 8not

2009-08-18 Thread Faisal Raza


Hi,

I try it with latest update 9.1.3 of Acrobat too but after signing the PDF/A
compliancy was removed. It is my observation that when I use text in signing
its remove the PDF/A compliancy and if I use only images for signing PDF the
Acrobat 9 not removes the PDF/A compliancy.
Please make shore me that, is it the issue of Adobe or there is some thing
else?

Best Regards,
Rana Faisal Raza

[iText-questions] Self-help facilities (was: Help needed)

2009-08-18 Thread Cameron Laird

Maybe you can help me; this thread has *me* confused.
I certainly believe "[t]here are numerous messages ..." about, for example,
"how to get* XY* coordinates for any string in a PDF".  I have the feeling
that Mr. Nagarajaiah has been unable to locate even one; I know I've found
it difficult.

Mr. Pigeon recommended http://1t3xt.com/docs/index.php > and http://1t3xt.com/docs/book.php >.  The iText book is indeed quite valuable,
and I can only second your recommendation, although I don't know where it
directly answers Mr. Nagarajaiah's question.  The on-line documentation ...
well, I've tried to read it all, and I remember nothing that seems to me to
address Mr. Nagarajaiah's question directly.

Do you use the search facility at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=itext-questions >?
I've tried it. I have *never* found anything useful to me with it, nor have
I figured out any magic formula that makes search of the GMANE, Nabble,
mail-archive, or open-Subscriber lists effective.

Perhaps you can illustrate how you'd go about tracking down the answer
Mr. Nagarajaiah
seeks.  I suspect I, at least, would learn a lot from that.

I also suspect that part of the difficulty here might be that I don't
understand the question as well as you.  Mr. Nagarajaiah of course does
himself no favor in choosing "Help needed" as his subject, nor does he
detail what steps he's already taken to research his topic.  Perhaps your
existing deep familiarity with the mailing-list corpus helps you decode his
intent.

I have the feeling you know how to use existing resources much more
efficiently than I.  I'd like to learn your techniques.

[iText-questions] Hyphenation for iText

2009-08-18 Thread Mathias Nilsson


Hi,

I'm currently working on a project that uses Indesign Server and a
third-party software for communicating with the Indesign server. The problem
is that it has grown and I'm moving to iText because it is faster, simpler
and more maintainable.

My concern is now hyphenation. I have downloaded the itext-hyph.jar for
testing the hyphenation sample in the itext book( Charles Dickens ).
However, when looking in the jar it is missing some languages that I need to
support. Where do I go from here? Should I make my own hyphenation( Seems
like rocket sience ) or is there another way to go?

Thanks!

// Mathias

Seconding what Alexis wrote to you. There are numerous messages on this list

possible. --mr.bean



Hi,

I would like to know how to get XY coordinates for any string in a PDF and
it does not associated with any tag.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [iText-questions] Access Permission VS Encryption

HI,
so i use DO_NOT_ENCRYPT_METADATA

http://1t3xt.info/api/com/lowagie/text/pdf/PdfWriter.html#DO_NOT_ENCRYPT_METADATA

Anyway, can anyone explain me the difference between Access Permission and
Document Security (of course, about "allow" attributes)?
