Re: [iText-questions] Barcode128 PDF start and stop charact ers don´t appear
You may have success using WINANSI encoding and
BaseFont.setDirectTextToByte(true). It looks like your font has a flag that
makes it symbolic but then uses chars outside 00-ff as a symbolic font
should do. As I don't have the font, this is my best guess.

Re: [iText-questions] Barcode128 PDF start and stop ch aracters don´t appear
Paulo, with reference to your response: "Maybe those characters don't exist
in the font or are invisible"
I checked it and those characters do exist, I checked it using Character Map
of Windows, for instance the character Š in font BarCode 128 has a valid
symbol (which are 4 vertical bars and it is the character Latin Capital
Letter S With Caron U+0160 ).
While debugging itext source code I see the text is encoded using this line:
PdfEncodings.ConvertToBytes(text, "symboltt"); which goes to
SymbolTTConversion.CharToByte and in that function characters like Š are
removed:
for (int k = 0; k < len; ++k) {
char c = ch[k];
if ((c & 0xff00) == 0 || (c & 0xff00) == 0xf000) //it
doesn't happen for Š so it is ignored
b[ptr++] = (byte)c;
}
Why this character is ignored in that code?. It is a valid character for
Code128 font.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Claudia.

[iText-questions] unexpected result after merging, output pages are uneven
I've followed a tutorial to merge two pdf files, however the pages of the second input file seem to only occupy a small (bottom-left) portion of the page in the output. Here's the output, it might be easiest to see it first: http://epswing.com/shared/itext/output.pdf These are the input files: http://epswing.com/shared/itext/input1.pdf http://epswing.com/shared/itext/input2.pdf This is the code I'm using to merge: http://epswing.com/shared/itext/code.txt The first input file was generated with itext and written to the filesystem. I've looked through the faq and recent mailing list entries, but I'm not even sure what I should be searching for. Any suggestions or links to pages I might read to better understand this problem?

[iText-questions] Barcode128 PDF start and stop ch aracters don´t appear
Hello,
I have another example of a valid text for Barcode 128:
"‰A)'=_Xwè!-Wè>èè1F0èBÀ~UŠ"
It corresponds to the string 3309072963568700011355003017381600349594
converted to Barcode 128.
It has checksum and start and stop characters. It is ok in word when I use
Barcode 128 font. But it is incomplete (the start and stop characters don't
appear) in the generated PDF.
This is my source code:
Rectangle pageSize = new Rectangle(780, 525);
Document document = new Document(pageSize);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document,
File.OpenWrite("Test.pdf"));
document.Open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
BaseFont bf =
BaseFont.CreateFont(@"C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\bcode128.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 50);
cb.BeginText();
cb.ShowTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER,
"‰A)'=_Xwè!-Wè>èè1F0èBÀ~UŠ", 200, 400, 0f);
cb.EndText();
document.Close();
What do you think that could be the problem?.
Regards,
Claudia.

See my other comments, sure you need to make sure your code works, but you need to do that in any case- I think I mentioned getting all your info from the db, including dates presumably. Producing a signature from the pixels would seem to be one approach ( store 128 byte signature in your DB from the originally generated pixels and make sure you get the same thing from your recreated document. ).

I certainly understand that problems in trying to write code to fix poorly posed problems. People think they are using a flexible robust standard but it isn't flexible when used as an artificial constraint that just requires more resources to support. That's fine for a private company you can do whatever you want but often the US agencies solicit input on various topics and PDF's have shown up everywhere creating various limitations depending on how they are used. Many times I will contribute input based on awareness of issues like this. If you are worried about size and impact on performance, this sounds like a case where someone's understanding of a law is reducing performance while providing no additional value to anyone. What you are saying is that they won't allow compression or zip files inside the DB etc- if you preserve the algorithm ( in DB for that matter LOL) which is itext and your code, all the input data ( which even pdf people may put into db from time to time ) then you are simply compressing your pdf with a transform that allows things like indexing etc ( the text is easier to index than pixels and you rarely want to search for fonts which have no relationship to information that can't be better represented by something indicating "this is a header" ). Depending on how the DB or repository works, you may not even be able to point to a "PDF FILE" anywhere on the disk- with embedded compression or encryption for example and you rely on the OS file system to reconstruct your "original" file from sectors in any case. Whatever law you are talking about is not enforceable except by creating dumber criteria unless it just wants some assurance you can pull out an exact copy of whatever you sent out originally. Certainly buggy code, say your code around itext that inadvertently uses random numbers or has threading issues, will make it less reliable than a commercial product like winzip decompress but I wouldn't use that for production anyway ( you should have signatures for the page images you generate for your own sanity checks for example). I would just mention that decomposition into "things" that represent a signal is a great way to compress data. This not only makes it smaller, but usually makes it more versatile as often a Fourier spectrum of sound creates coefficients of more interest than a time series ( you could at least ask " is this a single tone?" or something reasonably easily from that ). PDF of course is usually generated by decompressing your input coefficients - which generally happen to be things like ASCII text and some images and formatting rules- creating a "decompressed" file that happens to be human readable but is not always invertible back to the input information. I'll admit it took me a while to trust winzip too but I never would have made a law stopping people from using it. LOL. And, agaiin, if you really want ( and should intenally anyway to validate your own work ) you can hash images to generate signatures and make sure they match the "original" etc. In short, if you have enough internal controls to make sure anythin
[iText-questions] LineSeparator in a paragraph with IDENTITY_H font encoding
Hi,
I encountered a problem when using a DottedLineSeparator in a paragraph with a
unicode font encoded as IDENTITY_H.
The generated dotted line don't fill all the available space, but only the
available space less an amount that seems to be dependent on the paragraph font
and size.
If I use the same font, butencodedasWINANSI, all the space isoccupiedasexpected.
Herefollows a sample code in C sharp (sorry, notJava):
Documentdoc = newDocument(PageSize.A4, 0, 0, 0, 0);
PdfWriterwriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc,
newFileStream("test.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write));
doc.Open();
Font itemFont = FontFactory.GetFont("Microsoft SansSerif",
BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true, 10.0F);
Paragraph p = newParagraph("Some TextBefore", itemFont);
p.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED_ALL;
LineSeparatorls = newDottedLineSeparator();
ls.Percentage = 100;
ChunkchunkedLs = newChunk(ls);
p.Add(chunkedLs);
p.Add("Some TextAfter"));
p.IndentationLeft = 10;
p.IndentationRight = 0;
doc.Add(p);
doc.Close();
For the "chunkedLs" chunk only, which includes the LineSeparator, I can set the
same font used in the paragraph, but using WINANSI encoding.
With this method the dotted line fills all the available space, but it doesn't
appear to me a good solution, as I need fonts to be embedded and preferably
IDENTITY_H encoded.
Investigating through the iTextSharp 5.0.0 source, this behaviour seems to be
in the BaseFont.GetWidth(string) property, when implemented by the
TrueTypeFontUnicode class, for determining the width of
Chunk.OBJECT_REPLACEMENT_CHAR (used when adding the LineSeparator to a Chunk).
With WINANSI encoding, BaseFont.GetWidth() return 0 for this character, while
with TrueTypeFontUnicode.GetWidth() it returns a size >0, and this seems to
cause the dotted line to take up all the available space.
Is there a method for using LineSeparators in paragraphs with fonts encoded as
IDENTITY_H?
Thanks,
Fabrizio

[iText-questions] Unable to cast object of type 'iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.IncCell' to type 'iTextSharp.text.Rectangle'.
Hi,
I am working on .Net 3.5 framework and version 4.1.0.0.
I have a html table, and some controls and gridviews and datalist nested
into it.
When I export the table to pdf, the following error is thrown
Unable to cast object of type 'iTextSharp.text.html.simpleparser.IncCell' to
type 'iTextSharp.text.Rectangle'.
My code for conversion is as below
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=EmployeeDetails.pdf");
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
tblPowerReport.RenderControl(hw);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(sw.ToString());
iTextSharp.text.Document pdfDoc = new
iTextSharp.text.Document(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.A4, 8f, 8f, 8f, 8f);
HTMLWorker htmlparser = new HTMLWorker(pdfDoc);
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfDoc, Response.OutputStream);
pdfDoc.Open();
htmlparser.Parse(sr);pdfDoc.Close();
Response.Write(pdfDoc);
Response.End();
The error is thrown at the bolded area.
While googling out, I observed that one of them have asked to check the
corresponding tags and the spell check.
Everything has been doubly checked.
Its more than 3 days that this error is haunting me, Tried various tricks,
nothing worked.
Can you please throw upon some light.

Re: [iText-questions] Embedding subset of fonts
Thanks for the lively discussion. I totally agree to Leonard's comment, I have to, better must, archive the final (absolutly the same file as the print provider got used) version of the single PDF, so there is no way to produce or dispart on modules like text and font. On the other side, the generating, mean validate the jasperreport fields and rendering the PDF happens for a data collection of more then 10-15.000 records, should work as fast as possible. So the process loads the data from the DB, validate, render the PDF, creates the file (huge PDF) and sends to the print provider. This should work as fast as possible. Later, after finishing all letter production, the splitting process starting and have enough time to finish the job (archive the single documents into the DB, referencing each record loaded before). The end-user can load the single document(invoice, letter, etc.) in a fast way and be sure seeing the final version. This is fine and is running stable since few years. Times have changed - we are using exotic fonts, given as ttf, so we need to embed them -- requirement from the print provider. Further we won't explode the DB. Don't misunderstood me pls, won't teach you or repeat myself, but the system and the process is given, running stable. So we are searching for the "best complement solution", without extremly burden the budget.

Why do you use a hardcoded float[]?
If you can create a table with intColumns,
surely you can create a float array like this:
float[] columns = new float[intColumns];
and then fill that float.
Questions like this are off-topic on the list.

Have you tried simple math?
- Create an array which size is the number of columns (i.e. your variable
intColumns).
- The first value will be the fixed width of the first column.
- The other values can be calculated quite easily:
(totalWidth - firstColumnWidth) / (intColumns - 1)
- Use the array in the PdfPTable constructor.
If you want the width of the first column to be a fraction of the others, it
involves a little bit more calculus, but nothing you can't cope with, I'm
sure. :)
