[iText-questions] BaseFont.isFontSpecific() == true; text uses 0xF0xx form
Hi all; Found an interesting issue - posted so others can find via Google. If a font is set to BaseFont.isFontSpecific() then the string passed in must have the chars on the range 0x00 - 0xFF. If the text is in the form 0xF0__ then it will not display them (Word uses this approach). So if it's isFontSpecific then 0xF012 must be changed to 0x0012.

Your replies helped me to understand the role of media/crop boxes that I did not take into account when retrieving field property. Regarding the book - nothing is missing there. I enjoy reading it, it is a huge help and my money were very well spent on it. I was only trying to say that two pieces of information (p.144 - media) and 263-264 (getFieldPos) are not linked together in a clear way. I'd say that it will be a good thing to highlight the need to always use media boxes to correctly identify the field position coordinates. May be there is somewhere a paragraph regarding this topic, but I did not find it.

[iText-questions] Apend pdf, tiff, jpg or other images to a master pdf
All
I had a task recently to create a master customer electronic billing
document the first document was a multipage pdf invoice the subsequent
documents were scanned 1 page images in a variety of images formats.
Each master customer billing pdf document was later combine into a single
batch pdf document.
I choose to use the iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfSmartCopy interface
to append the documents to the master oPdfCopy
The use pattern in vb.net looks like this (w/o the declares)
... oFiles is an xml node structure with the files to combine
oPdfDoc=New iTextSharp.text.Document(PageSize.LETTER)
oFileStream = New
System.IO.FileStream(oFiles.GetAttribute("OutputFilePath"),
IO.FileMode.Create, IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite)
oPdfCopy = New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfSmartCopy(oPdfDoc, oFileStream)
For Each oFile In oFiles.ChildNodes
Select Case Path.GetExtension(oFile.GetAttribute("FilePath")).ToLower
Case ".jpg", ".png", ".bmp", ".gif", "tif", "wmf"
oPdfImgDoc = New iTextSharp.text.Document(PageSize.LETTER)
oStream = New System.IO.MemoryStream
oPdfImgWri =
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter.GetInstance(oPdfImgDoc, oStream)
oPdfImgWri.CloseStream = False
oPdfImgDoc.Open() '//Open Document to write
'http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/87/iTextSharp-Working-with-images
Dim oImg As iTextSharp.text.Image =
iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(oFile.GetAttribute("FilePath"))
oImg.ScalePercent(24.0F) 'scale% a std image from 72dpi to
300dpi for pritning 72/300 * 100
'oImg.ScaleToFit(oPdfImgDoc.PageSize.Width,
oPdfImgDoc.PageSize.Height)
'oImg.SetAbsolutePosition(oPdfImgDoc.PageSize.Width,
oPdfImgDoc.PageSize.Height)
oPdfImgDoc.Add(oImg)
oPdfImgDoc.Close()
oStream.Seek(0, IO.SeekOrigin.Begin)
oPdfReader = New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(oStream)
For pageLoop = 1 To oPdfReader.NumberOfPages
oPdfCopy.AddPage(oPdfCopy.GetImportedPage(oPdfReader,
pageLoop))
Next
oPdfCopy.FreeReader(oPdfReader)
oPdfCopy.Flush()
Case ".pdf"
oPdfReaderFile = New
iTextSharp.text.pdf.RandomAccessFileOrArray(oFiles.GetAttribute("OutputFilePath")",
True)
oPdfReader = New iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader(oPdfReaderFile,
Nothing)
For pageLoop = 1 To oPdfReader.NumberOfPages
oPdfCopy.AddPage(oPdfCopy.GetImportedPage(oPdfReader,
pageLoop))
Next
Next
The case statement above is a bit of a hack for images ...
it does work but its not very efficient
So I struggled a bit to find an interface that exposed a full pdfwriter via
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfSmartCopy interface so I could just
append images to the iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfSmartCopy interface to
pdfwriter
This was a couple of attempts that failed :(
oPdfCopy.NewPage()
oPdfCopy.Add(oImg)
then I tried this
oPdfCopy.NewPage()
oIndirectPageref = oPdfCopy.GetPageReference(iPageCnt)
oPdfCopy.AddDirectImageSimple(sigImg, oIndirectPageref)
but I could never get the image into the pdf pages
it was part of the document but not part of a display page
Can anyone drop a hint as to how you can use the
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfSmartCopy to append images
& create a new page in the pdfcopy document
It seems like AddDirectImageSimple would be the route to go
if I could properly create a new blank page using the pdfcopy & get
back an the correct page reference but oPdfCopy.NewPage()
does not seems to be the magic bullet :(

It would surprise me if Adobe Reader's search function was able to search inside the embedded swf file. PDF technology is completely different from Flash.

HI, I need to change the margins of a pdf that there previously, I've tried
PdfStamper and also PdfCopy, but have not succeeded.
This is the code:
private ByteArrayOutputStream formateaDocumento(ByteArrayInputStream
input)
throws DocumentException, IOException
{
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStreamPdf = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(input);
int pages_number = reader.getNumberOfPages();
if (pages_number > 0)
{
Document document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));
document.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(document, byteArrayOutputStreamPdf);
copy.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
document.open();
for (int i = 1; i <= pages_number; i++)
{
PdfImportedPage page = copy.getImportedPage(reader, i);
copy.addPage(page);
}
document.close();
}
return byteArrayOutputStreamPdf;
}

Currently the DottedLineSeparator draws a dotted line using a specific dash pattern and line cap (PDF syntax: J, d, m and l operators).

but its not very efficient
So I struggled a bit to find an interface that exposed a full pdfwriter via
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfSmartCopy interface so I could just
append images to the iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfSmartCopy interface to
pdfwriter
This was a couple of attempts that failed :(
oPdfCopy.NewPage()
oPdfCopy.Add(oImg)
then I tried this
oPdfCopy.NewPage()
oIndirectPageref = oPdfCopy.GetPageReference(iPageCnt)
oPdfCopy.AddDirectImageSimple(sigImg, oIndirectPageref)
but I could never get the image into the pdf pages
Can anyone drop a hint as to how you can use the
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfSmartCopy to append images
& create a new page in the pdfcopy document
It seems like AddDirectImageSimple would be the route to go
if I could properly create a new blank page using the pdfcopy & get
back an the coorect page reference but oPdfCopy.NewPage()
doers not seems to be the magic bullet :(
