That's correct. There are ColumnText examples here: http://itextpdf.com/examples/index.php?page=toc&id=3 (for documents built from scratch). If you need an example where ColumnText is used with existing documents, you need to look at chapters 6 to 8.

HeaderFooter hasn't been supported since 2005.
There's no mention of it in the first edition of the book.
If you look for Headers/footer on the keywords list on 1t3xt.info,
you'll find some examples: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/

Re: [iText-questions] How to underline/strikethru a FREETEXT Annotation?
For some reason I had thought that RC (RichContent, added in PDF 1.5) didn't
work with FreeText annotations - but ISO 32000-1, 12.5.6.2 clearly states that
it works on ANY "markup annotation". My mistake, sorry about that. Glad you
caught it!
As you have seen, FoxIt is NOT a fully ISO 32000-1 compliant reader. It does
NOT implement the full PDF specification. I would recommend that you contact
them to have them add it (and perhaps the myriad of other things they don't
support!)

Re: [iText-questions] FW: Mail to iTextSharp
I am sure Bruno meant that there are no APIs in iText that would enable this in an easy fashion. It is certainly possible to use the low level object APIs in iText to find everything in the PDF where colors can be specified and then run the appropriate algorithms on them to convert them to grayscale (as there is only monochrome for images) and put the changed data back. I will point out that to do this comprehensively is quite complex, especially when dealing with function conversion for shadings. -Original Message- From: Mike Marchywka [mailto:marchy...@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 7:12 AM To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [iText-questions] FW: Mail to iTextSharp > Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 08:25:24 +0100 > From: i...@1t3xt.info > To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] FW: Mail to iTextSharp > > suphat phuenpha wrote: >> If I want to convert a color PDF files to black and white or gray. >> What can I do that ? > > You can't.

Sure, it would go something like this (writing in the email off the cuff):

Rectangle rect, int pageNum ) {
PushbuttonField push = new PushbuttonField( stamper.getWriter(), rect,
"blah" + (buttonCounter++) );
push.setTemplate( template );
push.setLayout( PushbuttonField.LAYOUT_ICON_ONLY ); // no caption, just the
template
push.setOptions( BaseField.READ_ONLY ); // it's just there to look pretty,
not to actually be clicked
// you might want to mess with the scaling/adjustment settings a bit
push.setScaleIcon( PushbuttonField.SCALE_ICON_NEVER ); // don't scale the
template to fit the button bounds
push.setScaleIconHorizontalAdjustment( 0.5f ); // horizontal centered
push.setScaleIconVerticalAdjustment( 0.5f ) // vertical centered
stamper.addAnnotation( push.getField(), pageNum );
}
You'll have to fill in the template yourself. You could use HTMLWorker to fill
a page to a document in memory, and import it (inefficient but easy), or write
your own text layout code. I believe a ColumnText object can write directly to
a PdfContentByte (or one of its descendents, like oh... say... PdfTemplate).
That's a happy medium leaning heavily towards the "efficient" end of the
spectrum. Building and parsing a PDF just to import a page is a bit much in my
mind (not that I haven't done it, and with HTMLWorker to boot).

No. There's a lot of colorspaces in a PDF and there's not a single way to convert from them to grey, a bit better with color profiles. Then there's the images that must be also converted. Then there's transparency and the several ways that colors can be blended that won't work the same way in grey. > When you say can't you mean there is nothing in the API that > does this in a few lines That's it. > or it is fundamentally impossible ( without say rendering to > pixels and makes new PDF pages out > of color-modified pixels)? > It's possible but difficult and only commercial apps can do it.

Re: [iText-questions] How to underline/strikethru a FREETEXT Annotation?
OK, I partially got it to work by using "RC":
String styles = "";
if(a.underline && !a.strikeout)
{
styles = "text-decoration:underline;";
}
else if(a.strikeout && !a.underline)
{
styles = "text-decoration:line-through;";
}
else if(a.strikeout && a.underline)
{
styles = "text-decoration:line-through underline;";
}
if (a.bold)
{
styles += "font-weight:bold;";
}
if (a.italic)
{
styles += "font-style:italic;";
}
freeText.put(PdfName.RC, new PdfString("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\";
xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\";
xfa:APIVersion=\"Acrobat:8.2.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.0.2\">" + a.text +
""));
At least it works properly in Acrobat, but is totally ignored in i.e.
Foxit PDFReader (and I guess in any other PDF Reader).
So if anybody else has some more tips please tell me :)
Thanks!
