I think this isn't something you can solve in an onEndPage method. I think you should go for a solution where you take control over the distribution of the content yourself. I'd create two ColumnText objects: one for the main content, one for the notes. Add content to the first column, and fill the second column accordingly with the notes. Add the columns to a page in SIMULATION MODE on a regular basis. This allows you to get information about the number of lines and the Y positions of each column. Add content as long as both columns fit on one page. As soon as the content doesn't fit, go one step back, fill the page and go to a new page. Plenty of iterations will be necessary.

Does the/letter tag close the Document object? What does the /letter tag do? Is it equivalent to ending a Paragraph? This is a very strange question. I assume that the letter tag in your XML is the root tag of your document. It was CHOSEN by the person who wrote the DTD or the XSD. The meaning of this tag is defined by that very same person. I assume he thought: the content of this XML document is a letter, so let's call the root tag letter. Now it's up to you to interpret this tag. iText doesn't care what name was given to the tag. You have to deal with it in your DocumentHandler.

This is possible if you make it possible. I don't recall I've ever had to do this, but IMO it's not that difficult to achieve. Just adapt the DocumentHandler you wrote to parse the single XML, and adapt it so that the Document object isn't closed when the closing tag of the root is encountered.

[iText-questions] Tables and FormFields: Is this a bug?
Hi all,
thanks to help of you (especially 1T3XT BVBA) I'm now able to create tables
with PdfFormFields in them.
But now I'm having a strange side-effect:
The code attached generates the attached pdf. As you can see, the PdfFormFields
of the last table
are drawn on the second page, not in the table as I would expect.
My questions:
- Am I doing this the wrong way? If so, what is my problem here?
- Is this a bug? If so, is there a workaround?
Thanks

Re: [iText-questions] Tables and FormFields: Is this a bug?
Hi,
thanks again for the quick reply.
so whatever problem there was: it's already fixed ;-)
Good job.
Since I'm stuck to an old version, might there be a
workaround (i.e. wrapping my tables in some other object)?
Thanks
Jonny

Re: [iText-questions] PHP port in the works
Thanks - yes, I know. I was more asking to see if any of the people who tried still frequented the boards and could give an idea as to its pulse, in the off chance I or someone else wanted to try picking up what was done and fleshing it out, or at least to understand the issues that were faced. Maybe it's not feasible? Things like this.

On 1/4/11 11:58 AM, 1T3XT BVBA wrote: I'm fishing here :( OK, my first guess was wrong, but now I see something else that is fishy: you're nesting text blocks! You have a BT (beginText()) and an ET (endText()). In between, you add another BT and ET by using ColumnText. You shouldn't do that! Replace ALL your beginText(), setFontAndSize(), showTextAligned(), endText() sequences, by one single ColumnText.showTextAligned() and your problem will be solved. I just wanted to followup and say yes, this fixed it! What I didn't realize was the ColumnText was implicitely doing a beginText() and endText(). I changed all my showTextAligned with static calls to ColumnText.showTextAligned, and left most of hte 'block' section (because I need wrapped text for long names), and things are working perfectly. Thank you very much for your help!

Re: [iText-questions] remove watermark layer
Has this issue ever been resolved?
I am trying to access a layer in a PDF created by Acrobat. If I execute the
following line, I get a java.lang.ClassCastException:
com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PRIndirectReference closing the PdfStamper every time,
but with the line omitted everything works as expected.
Code:
Map layers = stamper.getPdfLayers();
I'm trying to hide layers in a pdf. Seems like this would be simple, and it
seems like the following code should work:
Map layers = stamper.getPdfLayers();
PdfLayer tempLayer = (PdfLayer)layers.get(templayer);
tempLayer.setOn(false);
PdfLayer sigLayer = (PdfLayer)layers.get(siglayer);
igLayer.setOn(false);
But if I execute the above code, and then execute the following line:
stamper.close();
I get the ClassCastException.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Re: [iText-questions] printing notes
yes, the writeSelectedRows() method. I didn't remember it. I made some attemps and it seems the way to follow. The think that I do not understand is how to put the PdfPTable written with writeSelectedRows() in the first ColumnText to trigger the simulation mode. as a matter of fact there is only the note ColumnText and a lot of mess in the pages... but I repet that it seems a way to follow.

[iText-questions] Reader enabled pdf
Happy New Year! I am trying to create a pdf with some readonly data and some unsigned signatures for external approval. I have read 8.7.1 in the iText in Action book and I am struggling to get around this Reader Enabled issue. First off, I am using Seam 2.2 with iText 2.1.2 for this effort. I am extending some of the facelet components to provide the addition of an unsigned signature. Here is what I am attempting to do. Take a reader enabled pdf that was created using Acrobat Pro; lets call it what it is: pdf_template.pdf. It is just a blank reader enabled pdf file with an empty page. I want to take a copy of the pdf_template.pdf and use the stamper in append mode to keep the reader enabled sign document/approval features. However, I would still like to add other elements to the document (i.e. paragraphs, etc). It looks like the PdfStamper.getPdfDocument() method is not exposed for me to do this. Any ideas on how I might go about achieving this? Thanks, Keith D.
