[iText-questions] Looking for an iText expert we can hire for a day
To do a code review of our iText code? What's driving this is I think we are not handling fonts perfectly. But I would like to walk through the entire set of code (~ 3,000 lines) where we explain to you what we're doing and you then tell us what we have wrong and how to do it right. I think we can do it using GoToMeeting so no need to fly out or anything. Are you available?

[iText-questions] Determining Java font mapping
Hi all;
This is not an iText question but it's Java fonts and so I figure someone here
is likely to know the answer.
When I request a font under Java, if that font does not exist, I need to
determine what font it maps to (so I can log the mapping in use). Under Java
1.6 I could use:
Font logicalFont = new java.awt.Font(fontname, java.awt.Font.PLAIN, 12);
for (int i = 0; i FontManager.getRegisteredFonts().length; i++) {
Font2D font2D = FontManager.getRegisteredFonts()[i];
if (font2D instanceof CompositeFont
font2D.getFontName(Locale.getDefault()).equals(logicalFont.getFontName())) {
PhysicalFont physicalFont = ((CompositeFont) font2D).getSlotFont(0);
log.warn(The requested font ' + fontname + ' does not exist on this
system. Substituting the font ' +
physicalFont.getFamilyName(Locale.getDefault()) + ');
return;
}
}
But in Java 1.7 FontManager has no getRegisteredFonts() static member (I think
it's actually an interface now). So how can I get the mapping?
thanks - dave

Hi; I am generating Arabic using ColumnText.setSimpleColumn(...). It is working fine about 99% of the time. But as shown in the attached, it is not seperating 2 glyphs on one word.

The correct render is as shown on the right and is how that text is displayed in Word and in IntelliJ. What's also weird is copy/paste between Word and Acrobat gets the text really screwed up.

Close out for anyone Google-ing this in the future.
When you request a font from iText, if it cannot find that font it returns a
different font. And that different font generally does not include Arabic
Hebrew glyphs.

[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.

Note: I'm posting this so it's in the email archives for anyone searching on this in the future. In the call ColumnText.setSimpleColumn(), while the X parameters passed in are the left and right limits of the text to be rendered, the Y parameter is the baseline for the text, not a boundary. The values used internally by iText in ColumnText.showTextAligned are Y - 1 and Y + 2 where Y is the baseline.

[iText-questions] Clear out font cache?
Hi;
To list out all fonts, including all their properties, I do the following:
String[] arr = new String[FontFactory.getRegisteredFonts().size()];
for (int ind=0; indarr.length; ind++) {
BaseFont bf = FontFactory.getFont(arr[ind]).getBaseFont();
This eats up a ton of memory if there are lots of fonts on a system. I assume
this is loading up an internal cache. I call System.gc() every 10 fonts, but it
still will run out of memory on some systems.
Is there a way to flush the font cache?
thanks - dave

Re: [iText-questions] Can't edit bold arial in Acrobatafter creating PDF
Hi; I understand that. The two probelems we are having are: We call FontFactory.getFont(Arial, baseFont.IDENTITY_H, true, 12.0, Font.BOLD); and the BaseFont it returns has a fontName of Arial-BoldMT. So the first question is how can we set the font to Arial rather than ArialMT and Arial,Bold rather than Arial-BoldMT? Second, when I use the text touch up tool on my system, the same system that did the above conversion to ArialMT - it tells me it cannot find ArialMT and will use Arial instead. Si it's like iText does a name mapping that Acrobat cannot do?

Hi; I am very sorry - we had our internet connection go down for 2 days and I lost the emails coming in answering my question below. So could anyone who answered this answer again? Thanks I'm diving into the Marked Content and have a couple of questions. 1) Does it work with ColumnText? It looks like it should but better to ask. 2) It looks like what we do is pass in the formatting via html commands. Is there any restriction on this or is it pretty much all html? 3) Do we need to pass in character formatting like b or can Acrobat figure that out based on the settings of the text we render? 4) Is there a way to tell it the lines we draw are for a table? Or do we just specify that in the table part and it will ignore the lines?

[iText-questions] Background for the next couple of questions
Hi; We use an older version of iText, that matches iTextDotNet. We do this because we also build our code using J# for our .NET version. We are now going to write a layer of our code that has a common API that we call, and underneath it will call the latest iText on the Java side and the new C# iText on the .net side. Our code handles the page layout so we use iText to draw to the page, but we do not use it for line breaks, table layout, etc. We do use it to handle ligatures, etc so we don't have to redo the work involved in handling Arabic. So that brings me to asking questions, most on things that have been added, a couple on questions we are not sure we used the best approach on. I've just been through all the relevant parts of Bruno's book and am left with the questions following. Questions to follow.

Hi; Does iText now support Enhanced Meta Files and positioned Windows Meta Files? The version we are using only supported standard Windows Meta Files and for the others it became a bitmap.

[iText-questions] z-order
Hi; I understand that iText has the 4 layers. Is there any way to set a specific z-order for each item to have a larger number of layers? I ask because we get elements in page order and they can come in any z order. Theoretically, we could have 5 strings, each on top of the other, with each having a unique z-order. If this cannot be done, if 2 items are drawn on the same level, does the second always get placed above the first?

[iText-questions] PDF/X, PDF/A, tagged PDF, etc.
Hi; Please correct me if I'm wrong, PDF/X and PDF/A are basically restrictions on what can be written to the PDF file. So we do the same thing as before, except there are some calls that are not allowed and all colors are set in CMYK. For PDF/X that's it - correct? For PDF/A there is the metadata that is added, but is there any specific metadata we are supposed to add or is what is added up to each individual? If there is a set of properties we are supposed to put in the metadata, is there a link to it somewhere? And for tagged PDF, this is where we can let Acrobat know the true formatting of the document so when a user does copy and paste from Acrobat, they get the true formatted document displayed in the PDF - correct? Is there a link showing what of this is supported in iText, how to call it, and what more will be added?

[iText-questions] Joining lines that change properties
Hi; When we draw a table, the top and bottom borders can be different widths/colors/patterns from the left right borders (width change is the most common). Is there a way to get PDF to join the corners of each line when they are dissimilar? We have tried numerous approaches but if the line width changes, Acrobat usually will not join the lines. Same for the internal lines in the table, is there a way to join them to the outside borders where they stub in to them? This is a problem because setting the lines to start and stop at specific positions with the next line lined up against them, is not drawn that way by Acrobat. It seems to start/stop lines a bit off at the ends.

[iText-questions] Code page or unicode
Hi; We have been using Unicode for all of our output. Works great in that we don't need to worry about what characters are in a string. But it means we always have embedded fonts - which is not good. We do not know up front what characters are in the text we get and while I think it's rare, it would not surprise me that both Russian and Polish or Chinese and Thai are both in a document. We can easily add the code to determine the codepage for each string and separate out strings using different codepages. What's the best practices in this case? I prefer the concept of keeping everything Unicode but we do need to offer PDF files that are smaller (ie don't have embedded fonts).

[iText-questions] How should we write text to the PDF file?
Hi; At present we write to the document using ColumnText.showTextAligned(). We pass in the X, Y of the start of the text and in the case of justified text, call it word by word. We then also draw underlines ourselves afterwards.

But it would not word wrap - it would put everything on that one line. Is there a way to do this?

Re: [iText-questions] How should we write text to the PDF file?
We do all of the page formatting - and have to for setting text in things like the page on number of pages field - which we then convert to text on the output. Plus we've put in a gigantic effort to match Word and there is a boatload of small weird rules that impact layout, and iText does not have that level of control. So when we say the text must fit on a line - it all must go on that line. The output we produce is clean so the text we select for a line does fit - but I can't use an iText call that may decide that the last word should go on the next line. Also, for centered/right/justified text - it has to know that this is all the text for this line. And for justified text, needs to know if it is the last line of the paragraph (no justify) or a line before the last.

I've done the same thing recently in Cardiff's LiquidOffice. We rewrote the entire PDF exporter in Java using iText, and one of the things we do is render SVG for our more complex field backgrounds (comb fields, rounded edges, and more importantly: pattern fills). When I want to display a SVG with vector-based pattern, the PdfGraphics2D can’t render it with good instruction and the process time is too long (30min for a simple svg). Java's Graphics2D system forces all patterns into a raster image format to be tiled. That's not up to iText, it's one of Sun's design decisions. This results in some rather painful looking patterns in iText and, it would appear, rendering time issues. If you can find a way to remove the pattern and replace it with repeated vector art, I think you'll find the problem solved. I also wonder at the size of the pattern itself. I'd think a smaller tile wouldn't take so long to render the pattern, leading me to believe your pattern may be the size of your entire background... or even larger. I was looking into subclassing Graphics2D's java.awt.PaintContext and java.awt.image.Raster classes to pass around iText's PdfPatternPainter and using that within the bounds of PdfGraphics2D, but abandoned it as not worth the effort.

I would prefer that we could call an iText method a line at a time and give it the start end of the line, if it's left, center, right, or justified aligned, and if it's underlined. But it would not word wrap - it would put everything on that one line. If you dropped the requirement it would not word wrap, I'd say: that's easy. Please explain why you want to avoid word wrap. For instance: what happens when the text doesn't fit the line? (How) do you know the text will only take one line? Depending on your answers to this question, the solution could already be present, but I don't know. Is there a way to do this? And if not, is our present approach using ColumnText.showTextAligned() setting the left of each string the best approach? I'd use ColumnText, but not ColumnText.showTextAligned(). I'd use setSimpleColumn to define a Rectangle that takes one line. Then I'd call ColumnText.go(). If the text doesn't fit the line, the remaining part is still in the ColumnText object for you to use in another Rectangle. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info Aviso Legal: Esta mensagem é destinada exclusivamente ao destinatário.

[iText-questions] Design reports in Word or Excel
We just added support for designing in Excel - details below: Windward Reports, the leader in enterprise report generation, has released the world's first enterprise reporting software that enables use of Excel as a design tool. The Windward Reports Server Engine is perfect for users creating both java reports and .net reports alike, and now allows users to design reports in both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel as well. Windward, a leader in with its design-in-Word reporting software because of its ease of use, now adds the advantages of Excel to its portfolio of simple-to-use, superior reporting products. Windward's new AutoTag 6.0 reporting software uniquely uses Excel to intelligently figure out sums and number formatting, and allows users to build a table which supports calculations. AutoTag 6.0 still outputs to Word, or any other output format, to produce reporting documents. Why is this Excel release so important? Simply put: Freedom. By creating an easy-to-use design tool which allows users to design their reports in Excel (in addition to word), Windward is freeing up thousands of IT man-hours normally allocated to report design, and including Excel business users in their 'power-to the people' philosophy. Now, non-technical business users who prefer Excel, can design their own reports and stay within their comfort zone while doing so. Windward Reports AutoTag for Excel doesn't just look like Excel, it IS Excel. How Does It Work? Begin with a worksheet. Using the AutoTag pull-down menu, select a data source such as an SQL database or XML file. (AutoTag works in conjunction with the Windward Reports Standard Server Engine, which gives your PC the ability to communicate with your organization's data sources, such as its SQL databases and XML files.) You use standard Excel commands to format and edit the report, and you assign tags to the data fields using the AutoTag pull-down menu. When finished, you save your template and, if you wish, verify that tags are correct with AutoTag's validate function. What makes this unique? With AutoTag for Excel, your number formatting always carries through - it doesn't matter if you output to RTF, PDF, or any other type. And, by using Excel templates you have a way to easily, and automatically generate reports that perform calculations on a collection of values! For instance, you might use Excel to sum all of the line-item amounts that are generated by an AutoTag. While AutoTag was always easy to use, this additional capability offers functions not available in a word-designed template, allowing the software to be used by more people, in more ways. When you generate the report Windward Reports merges this template with the data you have selected. The finished report, with all of your formatting, positioning and design, is available in minutes instead of hours or even days.

[iText-questions] Feature suggestion
Note: - this code is from the iTextDotNet version so it is a bit out of date from the latest Java version. But the version of iText I have has this same issue. When you use the font Arial for example, it first looks for Arial and when that fails, it throws a DocumentException. It then looks for arial.ttf, finds that, and returns the font. On .NET at least the throw/catch of the exception was taking a lot of time - about 80% of the PDF generation time in the sample we were running. I changed it to the attached code and our PDF generation is now 5 times faster on .NET. The attachment is a zip file.

[iText-questions] Second attempt - how should I get a font
Hi;
When I write blocks of text using ColumnText.showTextAligned(). When
calling this I need to pass it a new Phrase(someText, font) where font
is a com.lowagie.text.Font.
All of the text I get from parsing a rtf file. For each block of text I
know the font name, family, and codepage as rtf has that set for each
run of text. Generally all of the text is in the codepage such as a
block that is hi there with codepage 1252 and font Arial. However, a
block could be this is Chinese \u6FC9 and still be marked codepage
1252. If the font is Arial the glyph is in the font so everything needed
is there to display that string.
My questions is how best to create the Font I need for new Phrase(). At
present my code is:
// fontName is the name of the font - like Arial
// internalName is the closest embedded Acrobat font like Helvitica
// embed is true if the font should be embedded
// codepage is the codepage of the text
BaseFont getBaseFont(String fontName, String internalName, float size,
boolean embed, int codepage) {
Font font = FontFactory.getFont(fontName, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, embed,
size, 0);
if ((font != null) (font.getBaseFont() == null))
return font.getBaseFont()
font = FontFactory.getFont(fontname, codepage, embed, 24, 0);
if ((font != null) (font.getBaseFont() != null))
font.getBaseFont()
return FontFactory.getFont(internalName, codepage,
BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
}
...
// Get BaseFont as that method is used in other places as we go
Font-BaseFont-Font here
BaseFont bf = getBaseFont(Arial, Helvetica, 12, true, 1252);
Font fnt = new Font(bf, 12);
Is the above the best way to get the fonts I need? The IDENTITY_H is
causing me problems in the iTextDotNet version - but I need to use the
same code in both Java and J#. I also would like to have embedding be an
option.
I also have to handle the case where the font could be something like
Wingdings2 where there is no unicode value for the glyphs. In this case
all characters have a value of 0x00 - 0xFF and the font has glyphs for
that same range. In that case I presently or an 0x8000 to each char so
they are then in the range if 0x8000 - 0x80ff which tells the font
system to take the low byte and map it direct to the glyph. For this
case how should I generate my font?

Re: [iText-questions] Second attempt - how should I get a font
Hi;
Thanks for the answer. I wouldn't say I don't trust the rtf codepage - it is
correct for SBCS and DBCS characters. But rtf allows a \u1234 command and that
is a unicode character. So you can have any character in a set from any
codepage. The codepage is really just a way to translate the SBCS and DBCS
chars.
Two follow-on question please:
1) How would you do this? Would you stick with IDENTITY or would you scan each
string and use the codepage if possible?
2) Why are INDENTITY fonts always embedded?

[iText-questions] How to set fonts, write text
Hi; I think I may be doing this wrong (or at least sub-optimally). I am converting Word documents to PDF and so I parse the rtf file converting every block of text to a String. The original rtf is composed mostly of ASCII text but documents can have DBCS, unicode, and literal byte values that map to a specific glyph in a font like Wingdings2. I convert everything to unicode, using the 0x80## value for the literal byte values. And this all works fine. But I noticed that when I write out a block of text using Arial for example, it executes code to handle CJK text and is using encoding/decoding for this. Which makes sense as there could be a CJK character in there - but there usually isn't. Under how I do this I also cannot embed fonts in the PDF as it is using IDENTITY mapping. What I do is (using Arial as an example - could be any font): Font font = FontFactory.getFont(Arial, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true, 24, 0); if ((font != null) (font.getBaseFont() == null)) font.getBaseFont() font = FontFactory.getFont(Arial, codepage, true, 24, 0); if ((font != null) (font.getBaseFont() != null)) font.getBaseFont() return FontFactory.getFont(internalName, codepage, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED); And the second problem I have is that in iTextDotNet each time it needs to encode the text to a byte array, the code throws an exception trying to get an encoder. It catches it and then does create an encoder - but that's an exception per block of text and that burns up a lot of clock cycles. Any suggestions? thanks - dave - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Subject: [iText-questions] Rtf question about IText
I'm new to IText and I think it is a great tool. I wish I had discovered
it 6 months ago before I started using Apache FOP to create PDF's.
Ugh...
Anyway, I now have to create a (what I thought was) a fairly simple
report in word. I figured I could use IText to generate a .rtf file and
stream it down to the browser with a content type of
application/vnd.ms-word, causing the browser to pop open Word and my
problems are solved...
Well, I can't quite figure out how to lay out the information that I
need to display. I'm close, but not quite there. I will simplify it, but
this is essentially what I want to put on the report:
4 List Header
4.1 First List Item Header
text here. more stuff. description of the first list item
[table]
{page break]
4.2 Second List Item Header
text here. stuff and stuff. description of the second list item.
[table]
[page break]
And just repeat that pattern for a while. The way I'm trying to do this
is first create a Document and an RtfWriter2. Then, I create what I call
the 'outerList' and then create a ListItem which is a Paragraph with the
text List Header. Then add that item to the outerList. Then, I
create another List, calling it innerList. I then add ListItems to the
inner list. After I'm done adding the items to the innerList, I add
the innerList to the outerList. Then, finally, add the outerList
to the Document and close the Document.
What happens is that first, I can't seem to get the {List Header} item
to start with number 4. It always wants to start at number 1, despite
calling setFirst(4). Next, I was hoping that the List Items would be
numbered 4.1 and 4.2 etc. Instead, they just start out being
numbered as 1, 2 etc.
So, first, am I just way off base here? Am I trying to be too clever by
using rtf to fake Word into displaying a Word doc? Second, it is
possible to do what I want to do, which is have all that arbitrary
content show up in between the list items? I haven't seen any examples
of that, and no matter how I play around with things the items from 2
on down are no longer list items. They show up in my word document
numbered correctly, but Word doesn't think they are list items, instead
it just thinks that it is some text on a line that happens to start with
the character 2, 3 etc.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. I've been playing
around with this for a couple days and I'm starting to get bug-eyed and
now I think that I am so surrounded by my confusion that I just need a
push in the right direction from an outside source
Thanks, Chris

[iText-questions] very weird background color on 1 printer
Hi; One of our customers gets this problem and has only tried 1 printer so far. They emailed us the PDF with the problem and it prints fine on all of our printers. The problem is that we draw a background, both for a rectangle under the text and as the background color for the text. On this one printer it draws very fine lines around each chunk of text and has fine linse across the page between lines of text. And no background except for the lines. The lines also gently fade in and out as they go across the page. Has anyone ever seen this before?

I've written a jsp page that produces a PDF using
iText and it work great until 2 people try and run the report at the same
time.
I get a variety of errors including
DocumentException : Document is
closed.
ConcurrentModficationException
NullPointerException
as well as pdf's that are corrupt.
I haven't declared a single thing on the page as
being static. All the exceptions are generated when trying to call a
Document method so I'm wondering if maybe the document object isn't thread
safe?
This is my document creation code.
document = new Document(PageSize.A4.rotate());
baseFont = BaseFont.createFont("Helvetica", BaseFont.WINANSI,
false);font = new Font(baseFont,

Adding fonts to Linux - where to buy them, how to install them, how to test that they are installed correctly. 3. Running Windward Reports in headless mode.

RE: [iText-questions] iText is the exception to the rule
Have you every perused the projects in sourceforge? I think it is possible that the majority of ones over a year old (to give them time to complete) are abandoned without ever working. And most of the rest no one will touch. Yes the apache/jakarta stuff is good. I put tomcat up there with itext as two very well designed and written programs. (JUnit too, and given time I could list 5 - 10 more.) But even from your list I would say some, while definitely not crap, is not best of breed. I pay for IntelliJ instead of using Eclipse because I tried Eclipse and found it far inferior to IntelliJ. And CVS while good at what it does, is a pretty basic system. My point with itext (and tomcat) is I think they are arguably the best solution for what they do. Not the best open source, or the best in some situations, but basically the best solution period. Anyways, my point was not to talk down other open source (I didn't think anyone would disagree with that) but to talk up itext - I think it is very well designed and implemented and just wanted to say that to those who worked on it.

[iText-questions] How to tell if imported page is landscape
Hi; I am using writer.getImportedPage() and contentByte.addTemplate(page, 0, 0) to add pages from an existing pdf in the middle of the pdf I am generating. I have one problem. If the pdf I am inserting was created in landscape mode, it shows up rotated. I check the size of the imported pdf pages, but they show 8-1/2x11 so it appears to look like it is in portrait mode. I assume the file I am importing is rotated. But I can't find any method that tells me if that is the case. How do I tell if the page is rotated and then how do I insert it in my non-rotated output pdf?

[iText-questions] iText is the exception to the rule
There was an article awhile ago about how most open source software is utter crap - which is unfortunately true. I just added PDF copy to my code and it was unbelievably easy. I think iText is possibly the best open source software out there when measured by how well it is architected, designed, written, and documented. Once again to Bruno, Paulo, etc - thank you David Thielen www.windwardreports.com 303-499-2544 --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

[iText-questions] WMF, SVG, iText
Hi; A couple of questions. 1. Can svg images be placed in iText? 2. For wmf (and svg if supported), is it converted to a bitmap or does it remain a set of vectors (and is therefore infinitely zoomable)?

RE: [iText-questions] WMF, SVG, iText
Hi; I was afraid it required Batik - we run on .NET too (iTextDotNet is fantastic) and I have a bad feeling that Batik would be a mess to convert.

The Apache Batik project is fully compliant with the current SVG spec. What you do is load the SVG using Batik and then paint it into a PdfGraphics2D Object. I am working on a wrapper that will let and SVG file be used as simply and Image in iText, but not Done yet. I believe if you search the iText mail archives, there is a rather large example. 2) Yes, WMF files keep their vector information. Actually, it is one of the Best WMF parsers I have seen, I actually reused some of it to parse WMF's into Another format. -Bill Ensley Bear Printing -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Thielen Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 1:04 PM To: itext Subject: [iText-questions] WMF, SVG, iText Hi; A couple of questions. 1.
