[iText-questions] PDFStamper Moreinfo

2010-05-17 Thread Murugesh Annadurai

Hi Paulo,

 

Thanks for the reply. Under what XMP schema do they go? 

 

I also have a kind of general question. Is there a possibility for some
documents (not necessarily created using iText) to have only DocInfo and not
XMP metadata? Should I check both these places to read the document's
metadata?

 

Thanks,

Murugesh.




 

XMP and DocInfo.

 

Paulo

  Subject: [iText-questions] PDFStamper Moreinfo

 

 

  Hello All,

 

   

 

  I am using iText for reading/writing PDF properties. I would like to know 

where actually does the properties set through PdfStamper.SetMoreInfo() get 

saved within the PDF file. Do they go into any XMP schemas or someplace
else? 

Would greatly appreciate any pointers.

 

   

 

  Thank you,

 

  Murugesh.

Re: [iText-questions] Acroform bordercolor null

2010-05-17 Thread Arnaud Garcia

Hi Mark and thanks for helping,

I am very sorry, but I don't understand what to do, because I already set a
value to the field after setting the border to null. I also tried using:
form.regenerateField("myField");


here the code, and the pdf file :
PdfReader pdfreader = new PdfReader("test.pdf");
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(pdfreader, new
FileOutputStream("test_filled.pdf"));

AcroFields form = stamp.getAcroFields();
form.setFieldProperty("firstname", "bordercolor", null, null);
form.regenerateField("firstname");
form.setField("firstname", "Arnaud");
stamp.setFormFlattening(true);
stamp.close();


thanks for help,
Arnaud

[iText-questions] Digital Signature - Externally Signed?

2010-05-17 Thread chorpeac


I need to be able to sign on the client (since no private key is on the
server), and then pass the bytes to the server (where iTextSharp resides) to
apply the signature. 

Can this be done? 

I checked this out 
http://itextpdf.sourceforge.net/howtosign.html#signextstd
http://itextpdf.sourceforge.net/howtosign.html#signextstd  but it needs the
private key...

Re: [iText-questions] Reading and Parsing Tagged Pdf

2010-05-17 Thread Mark Storer

Based on the description of TaggedPdfReaderTool:
 
"Converts a tagged PDF document into an XML file. "
 
...I'd say you're misusing the class.  You should be writing out that
XML file and then examining it.
 
Now if that's what you're already doing, then the class has a bug.
Submit a PDF, and the output XML to the list, and we'll get it fixed.

Re: [iText-questions] iText Read Chuncks of PDF into java

2010-05-17 Thread Mark Storer

Don't we have a FAQ for this somewhere?

Extracting text from PDF is a Nontrivial Exercise.  It's flippin' hard.
Text in PDF is just characters and coordinates.  No paragraphs or rows
or lines.  Just "draw glyph foo of font bar with this transformation
matrix ()".  Often, you can avoid the "glyph from a font" step and
get some kind of human encoding ("WinAnsi", "MacRoman", several others),
but not always.

To figure out lines and paragraphs you need to figure out the locations
of all those characters (which could be in any order, not just reading
order... Text is often drawn by font, or size... But it's perfectly
legal to draw all the 'a's, then all the 'b's, and so forth.  Hard and
inefficient, but legal).

If these are PDFs you yourself are building, you have a couple options
available to you:
1) Marked Content AKA PDF Structure
With PDF Structure you can mark parts of a content stream as part of
some logical object... A table, paragraph, whatever.  You can then read
that structure to extract the information you want.

2) Custom tags in the PDF.  AKA "cheating".  ;)  Write all the text you
want to store somewhere in the PDF as text, broken up so its in the
format you want.  You then suck it back out at your leisure. 

Structure is pretty much the Adobe-supported way of implementing #2.
It's a bit more complex than writing out a long string of text with some
odd delimiters, but is more portable.  Other people might actually make
use of it that way.

See some of the servlet lists. Servlets are meant to be diminuitive ("lets")
things that run on a server to handle short tractable
requests while a remote connection stays open. Even if you
could keep the thread alive you may not maintain the
connection- what if request comes in over a wireless link or
two? You need to change the paradigm.

Re: [iText-questions] iText causing thread stuck

2010-05-17 Thread Mark Storer

I googled "stuck executethread", and the discissions I turned up were
about a fixed max thread run time that was configurable (and seems to
default to 600 seconds, 10 minutes).  Your "self-tuning" thing may be
ignoring that in favor of something Fancy.

I suspect you need to find a way to tell your server that this thread is
going to take a long time, and that's okay... A WebLogic question, not
an iText one.

Now if you want to figure out how to speed up iText, that belongs
here... But most of the efficiency improvements available are in the IO,
while your thread is being halted in what looks like code involved in
building your PdfTable in memory, not writing it out.

You might throw in some logic to take any table of more than X rows and
generate them in separate documents in series, such that you can get
each part done reasonably quickly.  Once all the portions of the table
have been generated, you can stitch the PDFs back together, AT THE PAGE
LEVEL.  It is, for all practical purposes, impossible to extract rows
and append them to existing documents.  Pages or bust.

You need to set them to locked in the XML, from "is" in your case.
Messing with the PDF directly is very hit-or-miss, and can easily change
from one version to the next.  That your code works could easily be
considered a bug to be fixed in the next point release of Adobe's
various PDF viewers.

I'm not exactly current on the XFA schema these days, but perhaps
Leonard could point you towards some documentation?

Re: [iText-questions] Encryption and XFA Forms

2010-05-17 Thread Leonard Rosenthol

XFA fields support lock/read-only attributes as well.  You need to change XML 
in the XFA template.  Same idea as form filling the XFA, but different place in 
the grammar.

That does seem to be what I'm doing, and it doesn't make any sense to me 
either. 
All I can say is that it's working, so I assumed it was just a case where iText 
says one thing, but actually does another. If it doesn't make any sense to you, 
could you clarify what you meant in your reply saying:

> Set the locked attributes on the fields.

That comment started me looking into what attributes were available on the 
individual fields, which is how I came up with the working code I've given, 
after much trial and error with the various undocumented constants and 
parameters available for the various field types.

However, I can't find any "locked" parameter, attribute, property, etc on any 
of 
the Acroform fields or XFA fields. So if there's a better way, I'm happy to 
listen - how would you "set the locked attributes on the fields"?

Thanks,
Adam

Re: [iText-questions] Encryption and XFA Forms

2010-05-17 Thread Mark Storer

You need to set them to locked in the XML, from "is" in your case.
Messing with the PDF directly is very hit-or-miss, and can easily change
from one version to the next.  That your code works could easily be
considered a bug to be fixed in the next point release of Adobe's
various PDF viewers.

I'm not exactly current on the XFA schema these days, but perhaps
Leonard could point you towards some documentation?

Re: [iText-questions] Acroform bordercolor null

2010-05-17 Thread Mark Storer

Simply changing the value of the border color isn't enough.  You need to
force the field to generate a new appearance as well.  Setting its value
(even to its current value) will do the trick.

[iText-questions] iText Read Chuncks of PDF into java

2010-05-17 Thread crimeunit


Hello,

I'm spending a lot of time after searching a solution of my following
problem;

with the iText in Java I wan't to read out the Chunks for each paragraph.
(because I want to have a list of all 'links-to-other-pdf-file')




if I have a first test application that's working for getting thee example
test1 and test2:

Chunk chunk = new Chunk();
chunk.setRemoteGoto("test1", "test2");
ArrayList listChunks = chunk.getChunks();
for (Chunk chnk : listChunks)
{
  chnk.getContent();
}



but now is my problem, these chuks not from my setted example, but of a pdf
that's read in.
(my opinion is to first load every paragraph of the first document, and take
every chunck of these paragraphs)

Can somebody help me out please???

Appriciated in advance!

Re: [iText-questions] Encryption and XFA Forms

2010-05-17 Thread Leonard Rosenthol

Adam - I'm confused!!

You are directly writing XFA form information (via fillXfaForm) _BUT_ then you 
use the acroFields APIs to change the lock state - you can NOT mix these two!   
Either you are working with XFA _OR_ you are working with AcroForms.   It's 
like cross the streams

Big thanks to Mark and Leonard for all your help, I've finally got my head

In case it's useful to anyone else, here's the core code I've ended up with to 
fill in and lock an XFA form (ignoring any AcroForm parts). This code doesn't 
include any exception handling, checks, or other PDF manipulation, it's just to 
show the form filling & securing part...

InputSource is = new InputSource(new StringReader(passedXfaData));
is.setEncoding("UTF-8");

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(passedPdfReader, baos);

// must have ALLOW_FILL_IN otherwise fillXfaForm() silently fails
stamper.getWriter().setEncryption(PdfWriter.ENCRYPTION_AES_128, "", "", 
PdfWriter.ALLOW_PRINTING | PdfWriter.ALLOW_FILL_IN);

// mergeXfaData() ignores an XFA form if there is also an AcroForm in the PDF
// So get the XfaForm explicitly and fill that, so no AcroForm stuff happens.
AcroFields acroFields = stamper.getAcroFields();
XfaForm xfaForm = acroFields.getXfa();
xfaForm.fillXfaForm(is);

// once the form is filled in, we have to mark each of the fields as readonly
// so the users can't edit the values in the final PDF.
HashMap fieldMap = acroFields.getFields();
for (String fieldName : fieldMap.keySet()) {

[iText-questions] Question about iText and fields

2010-05-17 Thread Florin.ZOE

Hello,
 
My name is Florin ZOE. I am a Java Developer and I develop an
application which uses iText 2.1.7 in order to generate on the fly a pdf
file from within a Spring application. So basically the view for one of
my Spring controllers is a Java class which extends AbstractPdfView
class. It took a lot of time to generate the pdf file using Table and
Cell classes.
 
But I have a problem:
 
I have a request to add some fields (checkboxes, textfield, radiobuttons
etc) to my dynamic generated pdf file and to let the user to fill in
those fields with some values. Moreover the user should be able to
submit the pdf form in order to generate a new pdf with the entered
values. 
 
So, in the same step, when I generate the pdf file, in some of my table
cells I should be able to add different fields. 
 
Please note that I don't use PdfPTable or PdfPCell in my implementation.

 
I don't know if is possible to do this from Spring but maybe you can
tell me what is the best approach in order to fulfill what I said
before.
 
Thanks in advance for your support,
 
Best Regards,
 
Florin ZOE
