Subject: [iText-questions] ODT to PDF conversion


Hi,

I read iText documentation. It is not clear to me whether it is possible to 
convert Open office document (ODT) to a pdf file. JOpenDoc 
  folks provided code to 
convert Open office spread sheet file (ODS).

Is there a similar functionality in iText to do the conversion from ODT to PDF?

Helpful pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
Satish

Re: [iText-questions] Unit Testing, Stress Testing, Profiling...

2010-01-14 Thread trumpetinc 

For what it's worth, I've been able to create some pretty good content based
unit tests using the parser...  I have a filtering parser that I've put
together (haven't committed it yet) that allows you to specify a region of
the page to extract text from.  This makes it pretty easy to determine if
text was placed in the correct location.

It won't work for everything, of course, but for functionality related to
layout, etc... this may be useful.

Cheers,

- K

I don't see why this is inherently true but it is yet another reason to contain 
the black box PDF and extra formating stuff as much as possible. 
Comparing structured data like XML files is easier and usually more meaningful 
than comparing sets of pixels.
If you need to put human readable stuff in
the loop, you can still render it somewhere and either compare pixel for pixel 
to known good results or
generate various metrics to sanity check it ( take generated output and at 
least count pages, collect pixel statistics, etc). You can always
time it, simple performance metrics are no more difficult here than elsewhere. 
I used to do some java based media
and still wanted automated testing- with a little thought you can produce 
various figures of merit even when generating
output for human consumption, people do routinely test audio and video 
processing systems without a person sitting there. 
I can't imagine off hand how you have high confidence in stuff you generate
with itext without having an open source rendering system from which you can 
"see what you've done" and collect
automated results for regression testing etc. For changes that "shouldn't 
matter" you should have the same
pixels you "used to have" or be able to account for the difference. 

Generally anything you do is meant to feed some other processing step or is  
invertible to some extent and that 
inversion or "next" step should be part of your quality control.
If you are making a pdf file for human consumption, some automated tools should 
be able to look at the results
and evaluate them by simple criteria. This is much much harder than just trying 
to look at  a few numbers  ( such
as the numerical entries on an IRS form ) but if you want human readable this 
is what happens.

Hi,

Thanks for the answers so far.

I've upgraded to iText# 5 in the meanwhile and am trying to generate a pdf
based on fillXfaForm. I'm stumbling on a problem where the xfaForm does
populate the xml data fed to the fillXfaForm method (determined at runtime
in debug) but the saved pdf does not contain or show the data. I've included
the lines of code used below and am hoping someone can point out a flaw...

PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(templatePath);
FileStream pdfStream = new FileStream(pdfPath, FileMode.Create);
PdfStamper pdfStamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, pdfStream);
XfaForm xfaForm = new XfaForm(pdfReader);
xfaForm.FillXfaForm(content.SelectSingleNode("IKG"));
//verified: content is inserted in the xfa:data section in memory here
pdfStamper.Close();

Tia,

Klaus

So does the iText 5 method fillXfaForm();
See http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=example&id=165
The OP uses an old technique.

Is that necessary?
I thought the idea was to separate the data from the presentation...

If the problem is caused by [1], the solution would be to upgrade to 
iText 5 (note that the license has changed to AGPL).
If the problem is caused by [2], then we'll need to add functionality to 
iText so that the  reflects the data.

Re: [iText-questions] Unit Testing, Stress Testing, Profiling...

2010-01-14 Thread Mark Storer 
All the unit tests are available in the source downloads at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/files/ .  You can also get the trunk from 
SVN at 

I don't believe there's anything in the way of performance testing in there, 
just the basic "yes: it ran, no: it didn't explode, yes: there's an output 
file" stuff.  GOOD unit tests for PDF are Very Hard.

[iText-questions] Licensing questions

2010-01-14 Thread Anders Thomsen 
I'm a bit confused about with license change to AGPL.

Is a commercial company allowed to, while keeping its own software closed:

1) Use the IText library within the company in internally developed
applications ( this should be no problem, right? ).
2) Use the IText library on a company website that can be reached from
outside. It will be used to generate reports etc. that users can download on
demand.

[iText-questions] [RTF] iText 5.0.0

2010-01-14 Thread Traian Decebal 
Hi all,

I need to test some features that I've succesfully used with iText for PDF,
but this time by creating RTF documents.
I've seen that the RTF support was removed starting with version 5.0.0 and
that it was created a new project :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextrtf/files/

Unfortunately there are no jars available for download. Does anybody knows
where can I get them ?
I'm sorry to ask this question on the PDF mailing list.

Thanks,
NArcis

Great, I tried it and works. Thanks!

Just one more "nitpick":
After the user opens the resulting PDF file in the reader (like Foxit Reader),
he can edit the form content. Is there a way to mark it read-only or some other
way to prevent changes?
