This is a nice opportunity to explain the origin of this frustration.
You have learned that lists are unsupported in ColumnText.
Where have you learned this?
Who is spreading this kind of desinformation?
Why are you saying this.
In attachment, you can find a very simple example that proves
the opposite of what you've learned.
And more importantly: what is wrong with the documentation???
What is wrong with the second edition of the book that still causes

find a remedy before the book goes to print.

[iText-questions] margin after printing
I have a problem with pdf margin after printing the file. I set the whole document's margin to 54pt. When the pdf is generated it looks ok, but after printing, the top margin becomes wider. im using adobe reader 9.3.0 and itext 5.0.2. I am using None for page scaling on the print options because I dont think users would care changing that. I dont think it's a printer setting either because i checked and there's no such setting. I also tried printing to 3 different printers and they act the same. As a workaround, I just set the top margin to be smaller, the softcopy doesnt look ok but at least it prints ok. I know the workaround is inefficient so maybe there's some explanation to this. By the way here are my document's settings: Document(PageSize.LETTER, 54, 54, 18, 54) Pardon me if I cannot provide much details as I am just using my phone. thanks. -- ___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/

Brilliant,
I ended up using a PdfPageEventHelper to set the template to either first page,
or follow-up page types and then put my content into 2 columnText blocks (for
left and right sides of the page) - since either could be >1 page long..
Then I wrote a little block of code to continue to add pages so long as either
columnText had content still to write out:
do
{
int iLeftColHasMore = ct.go();
int iRightColHasMore = ctRight.go();
ct.setSimpleColumn(35.2716f, 105.56f, 137.131f, 704.298f, 12.0f,
Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
ctRight.setSimpleColumn(154.747f, 65.5776f, 577.704f, 703.88f, 12.0f,
Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
if (ColumnText.hasMoreText(iLeftColHasMore) ||
ColumnText.hasMoreText(iRightColHasMore))
{
document.newPage();
Phrase pageNumTitle = new Phrase();
pageNumTitle.add(new Chunk("Page " + iPageNumber,
PDFNoteUtil.NOTETYPE));
setPageHeader(writer, document, pageNumTitle,
veVisit.getPatient());
iPageNumber++;
}
}
while (ColumnText.hasMoreText(ct.go()) || ColumnText.hasMoreText(ctRight.go()));
Works GREAT! Thanks for all of your help.
On to a new challenge -- I'd like to have lists as part of one of the
columnTexts, but have learned that that's unsupported (and I even think I
understand why). But I can't seem to hack my way around it. I need the
columnText magic to span pages, but I'd like to take advantage of lists (and
images, etc)...
I can't seem to use any indentation voodoo on the inner paragraphs as well (they
all seem to be ignored when nested inside of CT?) I was thinking of trying to
use a negative indent to fake it, but can't make that work.
So - how does one have a multipage spanning CT (or the like) and get to use/fake
numbered lists?
Thanks again.
Dan

Form fields with the same fully qualified name are considered being the same field. So if you create a PdfFormField in a page event and add it to every page in the onEndPage method, your requirements are met, aren't they. Or am I missing something?

Re: [iText-questions] add PdfAnnotation (form field) to a PdfTemplate
That example shows how to create a tree of form field dictionaries; is it possible to create instead a number of widget annotations that represent the single field? It looks to me like it should be possible from the PDF spec; so the question is: (a) is that the right reading; (b) if so, is it possible from iText; (c) (more personally) would you gain anything from doing it that way?

Chapter 16 of the new book isn't available yet, but as soon as it is, I suggest you compare the movie annotation example with the rich media annotation example. Rich media annotations were introduced in the Adobe developer extensions to ISO-32000-1 (Level 3), and they allow you to define much more parameters (activation, deactivation), and even rich media actions that can be triggered from events or buttons. Rich media annotation are a really cool improvement to the PDF specification (for those users who have a recent version of Adobe Reader). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info -- ___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/

[iText-questions] PdfPTable pushing susbsequent text down when switching between landscape and portait orientation.
Our site is currently running on itext 5.0.1.
We occasionally experience a problem when the size of a table being
drawn on landscape pushes the text of the following section (which is
portait) down the page.
Below is some simple code which reproduces the problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
public static void main(String[] args) throws DocumentException {
byte[] bytes = null;
PdfWriter writer = null;
Chapter chapter = null;
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
} catch (DocumentException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
document.open();
document.add(new Phrase("This is the first page"));
document.setPageSize(PageSize.A4.rotate());
Paragraph heading = new Paragraph("First Chapter");
chapter = new Chapter(heading, 1);
float[] widths = {1f};
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(widths);
table.setSpacingBefore(10f);
for (int i = 0; i < 29; i++) {
table.addCell(new Phrase("This is the text !!"));
}
chapter.add(table);
document.add(chapter);
document.setPageSize(PageSize.A4);
heading = new Paragraph("This has been pushed down");
chapter = new Chapter(heading, 2);
document.add(chapter);
document.close();
bytes = baos.toByteArray();
File file = new File("test/pushdown.pdf");
if (file.exists()) {
file.delete();
}
FileOutputStream fos;
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
fos.write(bytes);
fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();

Re: [iText-questions] List Color Information in Pdf
What do you mean by "color images/objects"? ALL objects in a PDF have a colorspace and one or more color values associated with them. Are you trying to determine "color" vs. "monochrome"? If so, then you first need to determine what "monochrome" means. For example, is an RGB value of [0 0 0] color or mono? What about CMYK [0 0 0 1]? And then you need to this for all 11 different ways to specify color in a PDF.

I'm 99% the debugger is reflecting the reality. For instance that you're not using the "recompiled code", but the old code (maybe you have the wrong CLASSPATH, or you're using the wrong .class file). > But let me get familiar with Java, iText, and applets, that invokes java > methods from javascript Start with a standalone Java class using iText. Don't jump to using applets and Java/JavaScript communication. Applets can be cached, which would explain why the "new code" isn't used. Everything you say in this mail confirms that this is not a problem caused by iText, but that the cause of the problem is that you're trying to run before you've learned to walk. If the standalone Java application using iText works, then the problem is elsewhere, outside iText. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info -- ___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/

As far as I remember, Adobe's PDF Technical Standards Evangelist explained in very clear words that "firing off" the print menu is IMPOSSIBLE if JavaScript is disabled, regardless if you're using iText or not. So either your customer ENABLES JavaScript and gains functionality, or your customer DISABLES JavaScript and LOSES functionality.
