Re: [iText-questions] Help Bruno Out !

The only problem with this suggestion is that if there
are no ridiculous questions on the mailing list, I
won't have Paulo's snippy answers to make me laugh.

Re: [iText-questions] book review 'iText in Action'

[Matt Benson]

Great job, Bruno.  I hope to purchase the book soon. 
I noticed that on the Manning site it's not
cross-referenced from the Java section, which I feel
is bad for would-be buyers and thus for Manning as a
company.  I mention it just in case you have any
influence here... :)

Paulo is doing the most part of new development.  He

Bruno releases an official iText version, but every
official iText version AFAIK rolls up the latest of
Paulo's work.

Re: [iText-questions] PDF templates

[Matt Benson]

I believe the correct answer is that with templates
you usually want to place text and/or other content at
precise locations so that you do not interfere
visually with the template's content.  Thus one would
commonly use the low-level PdfContentByte
functionality to, for example, add text (data) in
blanks on a PDF that represents a printed form (not an
actual "PDF form").  I don't see any reason that you
*couldn't* use the Document approach, however, so how
you PROBABLY would want to do it:

-create your Document and PdfWriter as usual
-keep a reference to your PdfWriter
-use Document APIs as usual, including newPage()
-use low-level APIs esp. PdfContentByte to add the
template content to your PdfContentByte--the trick is
that you will need to get the PdfContentByte for each
page using PdfWriter.getDirectContent() or, more
likely, getDirectContentUnder().

Again, I am not sure you can get the results you
desire from mixing approaches this way, but there's my
take on how you would go about it regardless.  This is
untested, but I do hope it helps.

Re: [iText-questions] Any way to autosize column widths for tables

[Matt Benson]

What do you mean by manually? Relative widths work for
me.  You could subclass Table to do different things
but since iText already wraps Cell content I don't
expect any external algorithm to do much better than
what you'll get by using relative widths.  No
calculation, just--honestly--gut feel on the "weight"
of a column.  You can also customize split characters
by setting a custom SplitCharacter on your Chunk(s). 
You could also do this in a Table subclass (sometimes
this is easier when you want to automatically do
something to all your Chunks, for example).

I would have thought it obvious that the answer was NO
since I directed you to a commercial product, and I
can't say that I particularly care for your attitude
towards someone trying to help you in spite of the
fact that you are obviously too lazy to have searched
the archives for this answer.

The option is called PDF linearization or some variant
thereof and, once again, it is NOT possible with
iText.  I'm sure you're quite welcome to pick up the
PDF spec and implement it yourself, however.

Instead of public constructors, Image provides a
number of static getInstance() methods including >1
that take data from a byte[].  Worst case, you should
be able to read your stream into a
ByteArrayOutputStream and construct the Image with the
result of toByteArray().

If you're using a URL, Image has getInstance(URL)...

iText has always supported (most) JPEGs directly via
the Image class.  Recent versions support TIFF as
well, eliminating the need for you to be able to use
the JAI.  As I understand it iText's TIFF support
performs well, so switching from JAI shouldn't create
a problem there either.

  Yes, and it bothered me when I saw that remark.  I
remember approximately the comments from which it was
derived, but I felt this last comment contained
inferences that weren't necessarily present at the
source.

  I see both list members who took part in that
discussion (we'll call them the "incumbent" and the
"challenger") as valuable members of this community,
the "incumbent" being a wealth of PDF-specific
knowledge, and the "challenger" possessing what
appears to be a fairly rare perspective on PDF from
the user side.  Either one's departure would represent
a loss.  However, at the risk of starting a flame war,
of which I want or need no part, that comment looked
suspiciously like a complaint.  As with all OSS, any
user is welcome and encouraged to develop and
contribute functionality and while it's nice to ask
and receive, being in a position to help yourself is
no bad thing either.  A quick query of the list will
usually yield a pointer into the right approach and/or
starting point for any feature addition.

This is somewhat possible.  The list contains several
instances of Paulo explaining in general how to do it,
and also several of Leonard explaining why you'll
never be sure you got ALL the content.  ;)  Ultimately
the answer you're going to get is "use PdfBox, JPEDAL

double-check.  I ran your Class1 code with the
following test.html:

Related course
structureThe
quick brown fox
jumps overThe quick pink fish jumps over
the dolphin's
nose

and got an error about the BR tag; since the
HtmlParser is using an XML parser behind the scenes,
your HTML apparently needs to be X(well-formed)HTML.
When I changed to:

Related course
structureThe
quick brown fox
jumps overThe quick pink fish jumps over
the dolphin's
nose

I still got a bad PDF.  I added  and  tags
around the content and got a good PDF.  So apparently
the SAXmyHtmlHandler doesn't like HTML document
fragments.

[Matt Benson]

I would be suspicious of your CLASSPATH and anything
else strange in your environment, including the little
man in the hat behind you... just kidding about that
last part.

RE: FW: [iText-questions] HTML to PDF Question...

[Matt Benson]

The problem appears to be something in that Oracle XML
parser you're using.  You might try using a different
one just for verification, then take it up with
Oracle?

-Matt

P.S. keep the list copied on stuff so everyone
benefits from any discussions...

It might help if you gave us at least an approximation
of the full block of HTML that was being parsed.

Re: [iText-questions] pdf print?!?

[Matt Benson]

Then you don't have any problem.  When you said "in
the background" I thought you meant you wanted the
user to see the PDF.  Otherwise you just have to
figure out:

a) how to tell the servlet where to print the PDF, and
b) how to print the PDF from any Java process.

Re: [iText-questions] pdf print?!?

[Matt Benson]

As has been beaten to death on this forum, once you
serve the PDF to a user, due to the nature of PDF, you
can't control things like whether they copy it or
print it.  You will have to be satisfied with a
summary of the PDF or something similar on the client
side if you want to stop the user from doing something
with it...

Re: [iText-questions] pdf print?!?

[Matt Benson]

But you just want it to print to the user's default
(Windows) printer?  You could do it, for example, if
you sent the printer path to the servlet, assuming the
servlet runs on Windows OR you have already set up
your Unix server to be able to print to each of
however many Windows printers may be candidates for
this.  This discussion could get really long though so
I'll leave it at that for now.

Re: [iText-questions] Help with page break

[Matt Benson]

I have never had occasion to use String.split() but it
does look like it should work something like this:

String[] reportPage
 = String.split(read(filename), "\x0c");

for (int i = 0;
 reportPage != null && i < reportPage.length ; i++)
{
  if (i > 0) doc.newPage();
  doc.add(new Paragraph(new Phrase(11, reportPage[i],
   FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.COURIER, 7.5f)));
}

I am assuming you are seeing the page break character,
whose ASCII value is 12.  You should be able to just
look for this character and call Document.newPage()
whenever it is encountered.

Re: [iText-questions] Question about adding images to existing PDF

[Matt Benson]

This can be done using the Barcode and PdfStamper
classes.  In general, you should probably:

-create a PdfReader to read your source PDF and obtain
its page count
-create a PdfStamper to write the stamped output
-create your Barcode subclass instance (eg Barcode39)
-get a PdfTemplate from your bar code's
getTemplateWithBarcode() method.  You may be able to
use the PdfContentByte returned from your PdfStamper's
getOverContent(1).
-for each page in the stamper:
call
stamper.getOverContent(pageNum).addTemplate(barcodeTemplate,
...translation matrix stuff...)

That's what I pieced together fairly quickly from the
API... Paulo may fill in some blanks later but that
may be enough for a start.

hth,
Matt

RE: [iText-questions] Any plans to support tif files for Image?

[Matt Benson]

I was speaking to the fact that TIFF images are not
directly supported in the Image class.  You have to go
to the codec class and specify the page you want.

I believe the reason it is not supported is because
TIFF is multipage, and so contains multiple images.

What would be the difference between these two

1) Add the data as precisely-positioned text.
2) Add precisely-positioned data fields and populate.

Leonard had it.  I was talking about using a pure

Re: [iText-questions] Compare PDF documents

[Matt Benson]

Depending on what you want to compare, you could have
some options...

if you wanted to compare the text, you could use some
form of text extraction from JPEDAL, PdfBox, or one
more I can never think of... and compare the text, or
generate checksums from text and compare those (works
for me).

if you wanted to compare exact visual representation,
you could use JPEDAL or ghostScript to convert the
PDFs to images and compare those, or again, generated
checksums.

Re: [iText-questions] OT: java pdf reader

[Matt Benson]

You may be able to use some stuff from JPEDAL, but I
think there are other solutions as well.

RE: [iText-questions] Page size

[Matt Benson]

Have you tried it?  If your printer driver sends the
sizes your printer may be able to figure it out.  For
example, I think there is a better than 50% chance
that an HP-LaserJet could do it, assuming the physical
printer is set up to know what types of paper are in
it.

You're setting objects as "session attributes", like a
Map of key-value pairs tied to the HTTP session.

Re: Re: [iText-questions] Newbie's prob

[Matt Benson]

I didn't say that your suggestions were not useful.  I
agree that if you do not take these measures you will
have limited results returning PDF content from a
servlet; my point was that since the original querent
was seeing SOME results, he couldn't have missed all
those basic steps.

And what's with "Mr. Matt Benson"?

That's wonderful, but

1) You didn't stay on the list
2) I'm not the one with the problem, and
3) Since the original poster is seeing some content,
I'm not sure that these servlet suggestions, though
worth keeping in mind at all times, will help in this
specific situation.

Always keep the list on correspondences.  I would
think the problem lies in your usage of the
PdfContentByte, and not to pass the buck, but I'll bet
Paulo knows.  :)

What happens when you invoke the servlet through the
browser?  Also, does it happen to work properly using
a different browser?

Re: [iText-questions] Combining PDF fragments into a single document

[Matt Benson]

Not sure what else would be needed to get just a
region of a page (your source), but chapter 13 of the
tutorial resizes four pages of one document to paint
them onto one page of a new one:

As I recall, the HtmlWriter does this automagically. 
I would imagine the XmlWriter would do the same.

Re: [iText-questions] Locking Documents using iText

[Matt Benson]

When you write the PDFs, use the method
PdfWriter.setEncryption() and set it with the
constants provided in PdfWriter:  Allow*.  You might
want to start with zero/no permissions and see what
that does?

Re: [iText-questions] Re: search a string from pdf file

Yep, you're probably better off using something else. 
Most notable are JPedal and PdfBox, with the latter

1 and 2 sound right (although I wouldn't think there
is truly a concept of font "installation" in a basic
Unix environment, hence my use of the word "add" as in
"have the file present"), but honestly, your final
statement is beyond my experience.  Fortunately, in my

Read chapter 10 of the iText tutorial for absolute
positioning: 
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/ch10.html .  The
PdfStamper object will get you a PdfContentByte to
which you can write your absolute-positioned text. 
Paulo will have an example on his site, I believe
called stamped.java .

I have seen it successfully implemented a line at a

I reread the FAQ.  It may not intend to say to use the
entire document in a single Paragraph but I have
reread it and I still think that interpretation of the
FAQ entry is valid.

Re: [iText-questions] Question about line height for paging

[Matt Benson]

There is a FAQ entry on this that appears to advocate
putting the entire contents of the file into a String
and adding that to the document in a single Paragraph.

Re: [iText-questions] indexing PDF content

[Matt Benson]

  Actually what I wanted to do with the content almost
amounts to metrics:  I want to run through the text
and check each word against some REs, taking different
actions for the words that satisfy the REs (mostly
counting words).  I was thinking about using an Antlr
parser/lexer to do this, once I have the text.  I
searched on FreshMeat yesterday and didn't find
anything that looked like it was geared for what I'm
looking for.  It may be that most of the things that
exist are not really designed to be interrupted where
I need to interrupt them.

  Of course when I said a package, I meant an open
source Java API.  :)  I'm cheap.

Thanks,
Matt

Re: [iText-questions] New release itext-paulo-113

[Matt Benson]

Well, that's just it.  Seems that if the metadata in
the catalog is always to be XMP XML, then the solution
is pretty much ready-made based on what I have done.

The XMP is, as far as I can tell, RDF XML embedded in
 tags.  These are the only part that are
peculiar to XMP (this may be an oversimplified
approach as I have not absorbed the entire XMP spec,
but it's a start).

  The problem is that getMetadata() already returns
the whole stream, including these external tags.  This
suggests that setMetadata() should accept similar
data, and leads me to the idea that we can set up the
 tags in another class.  Setting these for
output is easy.  If we provide comparable input
functionality, however, it would probably be most
sensible to use an XML parser to strip off the
 tags.  Using the Jena-RDF API I didn't have
to worry about this because the package is equipped to
find embedded RDF and discard the containing XML.

  The simplest thing, then, might just be to include a
static method String xmpWrap(String rdf) or some such
on PdfStamper and recommend Jena for processing and
morphing the RDF.  The most versatile approach, on the
other hand, would be to include a facility for
retrieving the embedded RDF from the metadata.  In
this case, again, we would be best off using an XML
parser, and that brings up the question of whether
this might belong in iTextXML.jar, and/or in a package
com.lowagie.text.pdf.xmp?

If we can decide the best approach, I can implement.

-Matt

RE: [iText-questions] New release itext-paulo-113

[Matt Benson]

I could live with that.  I just figure I probably
won't be the last person to want to do this.  Would
you want to provide any support for structuring the
XMP?  There are a lot of things that seem to be fairly
constant with XMP.  I have attached the "constants" I
used.  I ignored the "bytes" attribute of the ?xpacket
tag, but it should be easy to set if this were put
into a nice central location within iText.

Re: [iText-questions] rotation

[Matt Benson]

Is there a way to convert a PdfImportedPage to an
Image so that I can avoid duplication of code and use
matrix() to do the calculations for arbitrary
rotations?  Or even if I have to copy code, the array
returned is

[AX, AY, BX, BY, CX, CY, DX, DY]

Do these correspond to a, b, c, and d of THE
"Transformation Matrix"?  If so, how do I resolve AX &
AY to a, etc?

Thanks,
Matt

RE: [iText-questions] write.os is not visible

[Matt Benson]

I had the same problem as Sandy and Bruno. 
Technically, the protected os reference is defined in
com.lowagie.text.  This should be visible within the
package and to subclasses.  Therefore it should not be
visible to PdfBody, and this is consistent with the
error we receive.  However when I try to illustrate
this concept with a simple example, it works as
(un)expected.  I compiled with Sun javac 1.3.1 and
1.4.0 and have not been able to figure out the
difference.

Anyway, I had to patch PdfWriter to get it to work. 
What I did:

1) Modify the super ctor call to wrap os in an
OutputStreamCounter.

2) Add this method to provide access to os and
conveniently cast the OutputStreamCounter:

/** for inner classes */
private OutputStreamCounter getOutputStreamCounter()
{
  return (OutputStreamCounter)os;
}//end getOutputStreamCounter

3) Modify the various modified points in PdfBody.add*
methods' references from writer.os to
writer.getOutputStreamCounter().

Re: [iText-questions] PDF's as Templates

[Matt Benson]

Still, according to that section of code, there are
two places where the NPE could be thrown:  one, at
prs.addXObject() and the other at
template.getIndirectReference().  It looks as though
the PageResources object should have been initialized
down the chain when you called Document.open().  This
appears to be an integral part of PDF output in iText
so I would be very hesitant to think that the problem
lies here.  What if you added in your code these debug
statements:


PdfImportedPage template1
 = writer.getImportedPage(reader1, 1);
PdfImportedPage template2
 = writer.getImportedPage(reader2, 1);
PdfImportedPage template3
 = writer.getImportedPage(reader3, 1);

System.err.println(
 "template1=" + String.valueOf(template1));
System.err.println(
 "template2=" + String.valueOf(template2));
System.err.println(
 "template3=" + String.valueOf(template3));

just for kicks?

[iText-questions] horizontal alignment on keepTogether Paragraphs

[Matt Benson]

Never got an answer on this, I apparently had a patch
to PdfDocument that transferred the horizontal
alignment of a keepTogether Paragraph to the wrapping
Table.  Does this work in some other automagic fashion
or does the change need to go into the codebase?

Thanks,
Matt

Re: [iText-questions] PDF's as Templates

[Matt Benson]

Code looks good to me; however judging from the stack
trace I would say that whichever imported page you
tried to add at line 36 of your code was null.  If so,
your problem is not here, but with that PDF.
