Re: [iText-questions] xml - pdf or html
A few suggestions - YMMV: My main use for iText has been in the context of a Web Application. We chose to take our raw data, process it using a SAX parser, and render it into a layout format as XHTML. We can then present the XHTML document to the user in a browser for preview. The temporary XHTML layout document is then parsed as XML (again using a SAX parser) and converted into PDF using iText. We use XSL extensively in our application, but chose not to in this case. A few cautions. XSL transform based solutions don't scale well to very large documents. For simple tasks, XSL can be very straightforward to write and maintain, but very complicated processing tasks are perhaps better handled in a more traditional programming language. If your input is XML and your output is some form of text, then XSL can probably be made to do it, but it's not always the best solution. When information in both PDF and in HTML, be aware of some differences of intention in the two formats. PDF is intended to accurately describe a page oriented layout. It expects all decisions about what fits in a particular space to have already been made. HTML is intentionally much more forgiving. An HTML viewer (browser) is expected to handle all of the reflow issues encountered when presenting HTML to different sized containers. In PDF, these layout decisions need to be made at the time the PDF is generated, not when it is viewed. If you are trying to have HTML and PDF that look exactly alike, then you need to be aware of this. For example - by default, columns in HTML tables will expand if you are adding block content that won't fit (even if you have set a fixed column size). Fonts of the same point size may not take up the same amount of space in your PDF and HTML versions. Defaults for padding and spacing in tables will be different and the way cell borders are drawn was different (until we added some features to iText). We also had to deal with the fact that PDF is laying out content for a page at a time. You don't want to just clip tables at arbitrary points when you encounter a page boundary, so you need to be concerned about whether a logical chunk of information will fit in a table and how to draw borders for the top and bottom of continued pieces of big tables. In HTML you don't have to (can't) worry about page boundaries. It can, be done, though. I think we ended up with results that look very similar (if not exactly identical) in HTML and PDF.

Re: [iText-questions] MultiColumnText balance
There isn't a general way to automatically balance the columns if they won't fill up the page. For a particular set of content, however, you can set the height of the Multicolumtext object to make it balance yourself. Dave Bender wrote: I'm new to iText and it looks great. But I hit a snag. I'm using the MultiColumnText object to put a series of articles into a PDF. The layout is a headline (added as a paragraph) that stretches across the page, followed by the body of the text in three columns using a MultiColumnText object. How can I get the columns to line up across the bottom, so the column lengths are equal? Is there a setting for this somewhere that handles this or do I need to delve into how the columns are rendered?

Re: [iText-questions] Iterating a collection problem!
Doesn't seem to be an iText question, but I think your problem is that you aren't advancing the
iterator i after you make it.
You are making a new iterator each time you call
lignefactures.iterator().next();
use
lignefacture = (Lignefacture)i.next();
instead

Re: [iText-questions] PdfTable background and borders
Looking into it a little more, the code that is supposed to handle keeping the border on top will only work for cells on the same row. There is also a hack in there to keep the table borders from being covered up by backgrounds. So, you're right - this is a bug. I'll look into fixing this, but for now a workaround may be to use variable borders and border padding. This should keep the cell spaces from overlapping. In your example, change each cell to use something like: Cell c = new Cell(new Phrase(0.0)); c.setUseVariableBorders(true); c.setUseBorderPadding(true); c.setBorder(Rectangle.BOX); c.setBorderWidth(.2f); tbl.addCell(c); - Original Message - From: David Perez [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: iText itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 10:46 AM Subject: Re: [iText-questions] PdfTable background and borders Thanks Steve I have created a very small example that illustrates the bug.

Yes, but it is a little bit of a pain.

Re: [iText-questions] Table Issue from iText v0.98 to v1.1 to v1.2.1
Please see the FAQ entry at http://www.lowagie.com/iText/faq.html#tablespacing
The spacing changed for your empty cells because the table cells now use the leading of the content
appropriately. You must set the leading of the pEmpty paragraph. I'm was not aware of any problem
with wrapping, but I'll look into it when I get a chance.

Subject: [iText-questions] Table Issue from iText v0.98 to v1.1 to v1.2.1
I am having problems with Tables since upgrading from iText v0.98. The
results are the attached pdf files (if they are not available, let me
know and I will post a url to get the files), and the code used to
create those files is below.
try {
Document document = new Document();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(pathForIO +
\\testPDF.pdf);
PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, fos);
document.open();
Table t = new Table(2);
t.setBorder(0);
t.setBorderWidth(0);
t.setPadding(3f);
Paragraph p = new Paragraph(Here is some long text that
should wrap. Here is some long text that should wrap.);
Paragraph pEmpty = new Paragraph();
Cell c = new Cell(p);
c.setBorderWidth(1f);
c.setBorderColor(Color.GRAY);
c.setNoWrap(false);
Cell emptyCell = new Cell(pEmpty);
c.setBorderWidth(1f);
c.setBorderColor(Color.GRAY);
t.addCell(c);
t.addCell(c);
t.addCell(emptyCell);
t.addCell(emptyCell);
t.addCell(c);
t.addCell(c);
document.add(t);
document.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
For some reason, from 0.98 to 1.1 the empty cell's borders are lost,
height of the empty cells have been cut in half, and wrapping is lost on
the cells with long text.
In v1.2.1 the empty cell borders are restored, the height is still off,
and the wrapping is lost on the other cells. What am I doing wrong in
the above code? Thanks in advance.

Re: [iText-questions] cell padding
Several suggestions - I can't tell from your code what the vertical alignment is set to. Make sure it isn't ALIGN_TOP :) By default the leading will control the height of your cell. If you set PdfPCell.setUseAscender(true), PdfPCell.setUseDescender(true), and PdfPCell.setUseBorderPadding(true), then the edge of the borders should exactly touch the top and bottom of the text - assuming your text goes all the way to the font extents. There will still be space at the bottom to accomodate characters like y that drop down into the space below the baseline. If you use the settings shown above, you will probably find that you do need a little bit of padding. That is a little too tight to look good. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 6:09 AM Subject: [iText-questions] cell padding hi, i've got a problem with cell padding. even if i set cellpadding to zero, a space under my text remains. see attached image. cells are produced through: PdfPCell c = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(cleanFromHtml((String) row.get(k)), FontFactory .getFont(formatCellFont(element), formatCellFontSize(element), formatCellFontFace(element), formatCellFontColor(element; c.setHorizontalAlignment(formatCellHorizentallAlignment(element)); c.setVerticalAlignment(formatCellVerticalAlignment(element)); c.setBackgroundColor(formatCellbgColor(element)); c.setPaddingBottom(0); datatable.addCell(c); as you can see, padding for left/right/top is working, when i set c.setPadding(0), the text ist exactly close to the border. inside of the string, there is no linebreak. whats wrong ?? thanks in advance. sincerly, Andreas Steffens --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Re: [iText-questions] Parsing nbsp
Although it is defined in the HTML specificaiotn, the entity nbsp; is not one of the standard entities built into XML, so the parser won't handle it by default. I think you need to add a custom entity resolver to SaxMyHtmlHandler (or derive your own handler from it and override the resolveEntity method defined in the base class DefaultHandler). If you have control over the HTML that is being generated you can use the numeric character entity version of the non-breaking space as #160; and then you won't have to make your own resolver. This should eventually be added to the real SaxMyHtmlHandler, I'll try to look at it sometime next week.

[iText-questions] How should document spacing work for Tables?
I have been trying to debug some problems with spacing of Tables when rendered to PDF. I think I finally understand some of the differences between 1.02b and 1.1, but I'm not sure what the correct behavior should be. I want to maintain compatibility, but only where the old behavior isn't considered a bug. Some background - In 1.02b, there is a value called heightCorrection which is set at 6 (pts) and used in several calculations. The placement of the tables also depends on the current leading in the document. This is set to 0 and is only set to a value if another element that has a leading is added before the table is. Assume a paragraph then two tables are added. A slightly simplified view of the positioning is: Paragraph heightCorrection + para leading Table 1 para leading + heightCorrection + para leading Table 2 So given an initial paragraph with a 10pt leading, the result will be: Paragraph, 16 pt space, Table 1, 26 pt space, Table 2. If you don't add the initial paragraph it would be: Table 1, 6 pt space, Table 2. You can't actually get the tables closer than 6 pts to each other without setting a negative table offset (this has been done in some of the samples people sent to me) - this seems wrong. The use of the current document leading seems a little goofy, but I am willing to live with it. I don't like the extra 6 pts of heightCorrection or the fact that the leading is added on both sides of the table. The javadoc for setOffset mentions that a newline is added before the table, but nothing in javadoc mentions the extra line after the table. I think the one after the table should be removed. This would make it: Paragraph para leading Table 1 para leading Table 2 What does everyone think about this? --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

I agree - that is why it seems weird to have an alternative class. How will you explain this?

Re: [iText-questions] Table.class or PdfPTable.class ?
Short answer, then longer discussion: If you are only concerned with rendering to PDF, then PdfPTable is more stable and more fully functional. I use PdfPTable in my main application. If, however, you are trying to make something that will render to either RTF, PDF, or XML, then Table may still be useful. I am currently working on adding XML support for PdfPTable, but it is complicated since it wasn't designed to be able to extract the contents for this purpose. I think that it is problematic (or at best just very awkward) for iText to continue in this state. I think that Table should be either fixed or deprecated. It is confusing for someone new to this library to understand the differences or which one to use. The current documentation doesn't help here - it mainly discusses Table. Also, since Paulo has developed PdfPTable (which he has done a very good job of maintaining) he hasn't had much concern for Table and has been willing to commit whatever someone sends in. I think this has made Table grow less and less stable over the last 6 months. It now has things like System.out.println statements with someone's debugging code in it (I'll remove these today). People have a desire to fix their problem of the moment, but without a cleaner architecture, these fixes seem to often break functionality elsewhere. In fairness to these people, the current code in Table is quite a mess and would be hard for anyone to understand. Without a good set of unit or functional tests it is hard for anyone to fix a bug without causing another one. Enough of my ranting. On a more positive note - if anyone is interested in discussing / working on some type of testing framework for iText then I would be willing to contribute.

Re: [iText-questions] Line spacing iText 1.1
I am currently looking into a problem that happens only if you are using a cell spacing 0. In that case, the actual location of the cell contents is offset slightly down on each successive line. This is very apparent if you are using borders (because the contents eventually are not inside the borders). I'm not sure if this is your problem. One other change is that some types of content now use their own leading instead of the default leading for the cell. See if setting the leading on the content before adding it helps. If not, please post some SIMPLE sample code demonstrating the problem.

Some bugs were fixed related to the Table class that have changed how some spacing was calculated. Outside of the table, extra spacing is added based on the table offset (Table.setOffset) or the current leading if the table offset is not set. The current leading is the leading of the last content added to the document (0 if the table is the first thing in the document). In version 1.02b, spacing outside the table worked like: Previous Content blank line with height = table offset + 6pt Table blank line with height = table offset Starting with version 1.1.2, spacing outside the table works like: Previous Content blank line with height = table offset Table Some spacing has changed inside the Table also. Inside Cells, the spacing of lines used to be based only on the Cell leading (Cell.setLeading). This caused problems if the content of the cell had different leading than the Cell. As of version 1.1, the Cell content uses the leading of the content for all content derived from Phrase. There is another handy feature of Cell (added in 1.1) that may let you generally ignore leading and have the height automatically set - use Cell.setUseAscender(true) and Cell.setUseDescender(true). --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Subject: [iText-questions] Problem with empty table cells in PDF
Hello there:
I have an application that generates a form with multiple columns and rows
as a PDF. I previously used iText 1.02b and had no problems. iText 1.1 and
even the current 143 early-access all have the same problem with empty
cells. They are completely suppressed (no borders are printed). This is
disconcerting since the customer requires the cells to show up even if they
are empty.
Is this a bug in the newer releases? I need to move from 1.02 because that
version has other issues that the newer versions have fixed.
What do I have to do to get empty cells to print??
--- Sample code -
table = new Table(columns + 1);
table.setBorderColor(new Color(0,0,0));
table.setBorderWidth(1);
table.setBorder(Rectangle.TOP | Rectangle.BOTTOM | Rectangle.LEFT |
Rectangle.RIGHT);
table.setCellpadding(0);
table.setCellspacing(1);
table.setCellsFitPage(true);
table.setTableFitsPage(false);
table.setDefaultCellBorder(Rectangle.TOP | Rectangle.BOTTOM | Rectangle.LEFT
| Rectangle.RIGHT);
table.setDefaultCellBorderWidth(1);
table.setDefaultCellBorderColor(new Color(0,0,0));
table.setDefaultColspan(1);
table.setDefaultRowspan(1);
table.setWidth(100);
table.setWidths(widths);
--- (deleted) headers are dropped in here --
-- now to output data into the form proper
Cell dataCell;
Iterator offenseIt = offenseList.iterator();
while (offenseIt.hasNext())
{
OffenseRecord offenseRecord = (OffenseRecord)offenseIt.next();
// this cell prints fine...it contains data
dataCell = new Cell(new Phrase(offenseRecord.getCode() + . +
offenseRecord.getDescription(),dataFont));
dataCell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
dataCell.setBorder(Rectangle.TOP | Rectangle.BOTTOM | Rectangle.LEFT |
Rectangle.RIGHT);
dataCell.setColspan(1);
table.addCell(dataCell);
Iterator raceIt = raceList.iterator();
while (raceIt.hasNext())
{
RaceRecord raceRecord = (RaceRecord)raceIt.next();
String countString = ; // changed to SPACE and TAB and same behavior
like it is being trimmed
int total =
schoolData.getSuspensions(raceRecord.getID(),offenseRecord.getID());
if (total 0)
countString = + total;
dataCell = new Cell(new Phrase(countString,dataFont));
dataCell = new Cell(new Phrase(countString,dataFont));
dataCell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_RIGHT);
dataCell.setColspan(1);
-- added these two lines to see if the would do the trick
dataCell.setBorder(Rectangle.TOP | Rectangle.BOTTOM | Rectangle.LEFT |
Rectangle.RIGHT);
dataCell.setBorderWidth(1);
-- only time a cell appears with borders is if there is number in it...
-- otherwise there is total blank space!!!
table.addCell(dataCell);
}

[iText-questions] iText XML Changes
I'm working on bringing iText XML a little more up to date (support for PdfPTable, MultiColumnText, and the changes to Rectangle). Is the current XML format considered to be a stable form that should not be changed for existing elements? I can just extend it, but it might be nice to make a few changes. In particular, colors are represented with three attributes for each type of color - i.e.: cell red=128 green=100 blue=128 bgred=30 bggreen=40 bgblue=50 .../ Since rectangles now support different color borders on each side, I really didn't want to add 12 more attributes. I would prefer to handle this with a single attribute for each side color using an HTML like syntax: cell border-left-color=#FF ... / I think it would be nice to change all the other uses of color attributes to a similar syntax. The somewhat dated itext.dtd seemed to indicate this approach was at least considered once since it specifies bordercolor and backgroundcolor attributes that don't seem to be used now.

Re: [iText-questions] Issue with Image into PDF
I still think that dropping rows silently like this only causes problems. I
can't imagine an
application where I would want that behavior. Would you consider changing the
default for splitRows
to be true (or maybe throw a DocumentException if the content wouldn't fit)?

Hi,
The formula does not work as the cell height and width
is always 0.
Here is what I am doing
Image img = Image.getInstance(xyz.jpg);
PdfPCell pdfPCell = new PdfPCell(img);
img.scalePercent(24);
This works for any value 24 and below. Values 25 and
above give a blank
cell. This happens for images whose width is greater
than height.
In case of images whose height is greater than width, it
can scale to 100%.
Any idea why it isupto 24% only.

[iText-questions] Bug in PdfLine
I believe there is a bug in PdfLine.getAscender (added by me unfortunately). The problem is the lines: if (ck.isImage()) ascender = Math.max(ascender, ck.getImageOffsetY()); This was copied from the getDescender code without thinking it through. I think it should be: if (ck.isImage()) ascender = Math.max(ascender, ck.getImage().scaledHeight() + ck.getImageOffsetY()); Since images contained in chunks are rendered with the bottom of the image on the baseline, I think the scaledHeight should serve as the Ascender height (if there are no offsets). The current bug will cause a problem in a PdfPCell if the cell has setUseAscender(true) and only an image in the cell. Currently the image will not display at all (cell ends up with 0 height). Paulo, could you please add this to your next version. Bruno, I don't know how often you make minor bug fixes like this to the main release - I wouldn't want someone else to waste a day like I just did trying to track down why my images aren't showing up :( --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: InterSystems CACHE FREE OODBMS DOWNLOAD - A multidimensional database that combines robust object and relational technologies, making it a perfect match for Java, C++,COM, XML, ODBC and JDBC. www.intersystems.com/match8 ___ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions

Hi Steve, Hi Paulo,
I've tried to replace the usage of ColumnText by MultiColumnText, which
behaves like my attempt of using the ColumnText feature. The only
problem I've encountered so far, is that the MultiColumnText is rendered
in the background, so I'm not able to use background images in
combination with MultiColumnText. Is this really necessary to use
getDirectContentUnder? If not, please change it to:
case Element.MULTI_COLUMN_TEXT: {
ensureNewLine();
flushLines();
MultiColumnText multiText = (MultiColumnText)
element;
float height =
multiText.write(writer.getDirectContent(), this, indentTop() -
currentHeight);
currentHeight += height;
text.moveText(0, -1f* height);
pageEmpty = false;
break;
}
Best regards,
Christian

Re: [iText-questions] default row height
Not exactly what you asked (because it's not the default setting), but if you use setUseAscender(true), setUseBorderPadding(true), and setUseDescender(true), then the row will be max font extent + padding-top + padding-bottom + top border width, + bottom border width max font extent is the total of the largest ascender and descender on the line. In this case, with no padding, the top of the tallest letter will exactly touch the inside edge of the top border and the bottom of the lowest possible letter will touch the inside edge of the bottom border. I like using these settings with some padding because vertical alignment will work better than just using leading. BTW, these are only available in the itext-paulo-139 version. - Original Message - From: Mayank Mishra [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 3:28 PM Subject: [iText-questions] default row height Assuming a row with just one cell containing one word of text ,what will be the height of the row by default in terms of other variables? eg:row-height = font-sz + padding-top + padding-bottom + --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

Re: [iText-questions] Re: cellWidths and RowHeights
You would probably want to use a different table for each row. iText tables have columns with a fixed width for the entire table. We wanted to do something similar to what you demonstrated and experimented with one other idea, but decided it was too goofy. We had a list of cell widths that needed to total 100%, but individual cell widths could vary on different rows. We defined a large number of narrow columns (like 100 columns) and used column-span to set the widths (span 34 columns for 34% width). This works but is very inefficient. We now just break into multiple concatenated tables when we need differing cell widths.

Re: [iText-questions] table PdfWriter setSpacing(1) then border on last page drawn above last line!
You are correct that this is a bug. There are actually more problems than this when using cellspacing on Tables longer than one page. The code calculating the new table position for pages after the first one does not take cell spacing into account correctly. You will see other problems with text longer than one line. Unfortunately no one seems to claim ownership of the Table class now - it seems to be an orphan. You are probably better off using PdfPTable (but you will have a little harder time drawing your borders around the whole table - you'll have to use a PdfPTableEvent). I was able to reproduce your problem with your example and in one of my test drivers. I am not the original author of this class, but I will look into supplying a fix when I have some time - perhaps this weekend.

Re: [iText-questions] TABLE BORDERS
It's not currently supported by the built in border support for a table cell (but sounds like a good future feature). If you are using PdfPTable, you can accomplish the same thing by adding a custom PdfPTableEvent handler to your table. The event callback has enough information to know the location of every row. You can draw a dashed line by hand from inside the handler. I have used this technique to draw a border around my entire table (since PdfPTable doesn't have borders of its own, only the cells do). Good luck. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 1:20 PM Subject: [iText-questions] TABLE BORDERS I would like to set a bottom border for a row on a table with a dashed line.

Re: [iText-questions] Alignment of text in a Paragraph within a Cell
Use code like this with the current version: Cell cell = new Cell(p); cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_RIGHT); aTable.addCell(cell); It works when set from the cell level, but the paragraph alignment does not apply. I think this could be considered a bug. It is easy to fix in the constructor for Cell(Paragraph), but if you use the default constructor for Cell or PdfPCell, it is a little messier. You would need to probably keep another alignment state that works like ALIGN_LEFT, but indicates that current alignment had been set explicitly. Then Cell.addElement or PdfPCell.addElement would have to override the default alignment if it hadn't been set explicitly yet. Seems messy. Paulo, are you interested in supporting this?

I had a similar problem where I wanted to do some special handling of the end of a page only when I was rendering a table. I handled it by making a class derived from PdfPageEvent that has a boolean member, inTable. I always set the inTable flag before attaching a table and clear it afterwards. In the onEndPage method of the event handler, I check the flag and do some special work (drawing borders) if it is set.

[iText-questions] Variable size form XObjects
I have a very limited understanding of the PDF specification, so please be patient with me.

Re: [iText-questions] RE: ColumnText PdfPCell patch
I think I agree with Christian on this. If you must support two modes in ColumnText and can't make the non-rectangular columns work with Elements, then it seems appropriate to throw an exception instead of just throwing away data. I don't think a user of ColumnText would ever want you to throw away data, that should always indicate that the user of the API made a programming mistake.

[iText-questions] Suggestions for handling large PdfPTables
setSkipFirstHeader worked great for me to render very large tables (thanks Paulo and
Christian), but
I have a couple of suggestions.
First - skipFirstHeader isn't being copied in PdfPTable.shallowCopy. I think this is
a bug. add:
nt.skipFirstHeader = table.skipFirstHeader;
Second - I found it awkward to use this technique on tables with headers because of my
design.
After the headers were initially added, the information to re-create them was lost. I
added the
following method to PdfPTable which I think may be useful to others.
/**
* Creates a copy of this table for use in concatenating
* multiple tables together to simulate one large table.
* The new table will copy all parameters and headers from
* the old table, but no other rows. The new table will
* have [EMAIL PROTECTED] #setSkipFirstHeader setSkipFirstHeader(true)}.
* @return the new table
*/
public PdfPTable generateFollowingTable() {
PdfPTable newTable = PdfPTable.shallowCopy(this);
newTable.totalHeight = 0;
for (int i = 0; i headerRows; i++) {
if (size() i) {
PdfPRow headerRow = getRow(i);
for (int j = 0; j headerRow.cells.length; j++) {
newTable.addCell(headerRow.cells[j]);
}
}
}
newTable.setSkipFirstHeader(true);
return newTable;
}
This allows you to generate large tables in the following manner:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
for (int row=1; row = 2000; row++)
{
if (row % FRAGMENT_SIZE == FRAGMENT_SIZE-1 )
{
document.add(table);
table = table.generateFollowingTable();
}
makeNewRow(table, row, font);
}
document.add(table);
I have attached a simple example generating a large table using fragments in this
manner. If you
decide to add the generateFollowingText method to PdfPTable, then you may want to use
this in the
set of examples. I think this method of handling large tables should replace the
example described
in Chap0513.

Re: [iText-questions] large PdfPTables and fitsPage
Thanks for the suggestions, but after looking into it more, I think I like Paulo's idea. I didn't originally understand what setSkipFirstHeader was doing. I'm going to try to make an example to exercise this later this afternoon. I want to test this with borders, it seems like you will get a double border width when the additional tables are added (unless PdfPTable takes this into account, which it may). If this technique works for me, I'll post the example. I think that people should be encouraged to use this instead of the Chap0513 way. I always thought that pulling out the last row and re-adding it was a little goofy. - Original Message - From: Wellman, Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 9:26 AM Subject: RE: [iText-questions] large PdfPTables and fitsPage Hi Steve, I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with PdfDocument.fitsPage(), but from what the source looks like, it seems that you could get the existing height of a table after adding a row and do the same kind of math calculations to see if your table total height (plus margins) has wrapped beyond the total height of your page. Christian, can you comment on this bug fix that you made? This might clear up the issue. From what I could see, PdfDocument.fitsPage() also resets the total width of the PdfPTable which is passed to the method - I wasn't sure why this was happening. Maybe that's the problem? I also learned this technique from the website tutorial Chap0513.java. One problem with this example is that it doesn't work if you are drawing table data that is not read from inside a for() loop (for example, a row-spanning label dividing sections of your PdfPTable). If you're in a for loop, Chap0513's example works great because you can just delete the last row, then roll back the loop counter to re-draw the row on a new page. But if you're not in a for loop, and you've drawn one too many rows, you can't get back the row from the table and re-add it. Now I use PdfPTable.writeSelectedRows() to control which rows in my table to flush to a page. If the last row I wrote actually wrapped to the next page, I can write the first n rows of the table to the page, make a new page, write the overflow row to the new page, then create a new table for writing. Doing this means you need to keep track of the height of the page manually, since your new page now has table data from the last page as well as your new table as well.

Re: [iText-questions] large PdfPTables and fitsPage
This technique is generally working great and is much cleaner than what I originally
envisioned. I
am, however, having one problem.
I am using the PdfPTableEvent handler to draw a border around the entire table (since
PdfPTable
doesn't derive from Rectangle like Table does). This works fine with a single large
table, but is
problematic when breaking tables up into small chunks - I can't tell the difference
between an event
triggered by the end of a page and the event triggered by the end of my smaller table
chunk. In the
latter case, I don't want to draw the border.
Does anyone have an idea about how to handle this?

[iText-questions] large PdfPTables and fitsPage
On 9/23 Christian Lauer wrote about a problem with fitsPage and Paulo responded: I know about that and I don't care. The fitsPage method falls in the same cathegory I have for Table: use something else. I was planning on using the fitsPage method with PdfPTable in a manner similar to the Chap0513.java example (which uses Table). I have some very big PDFs to generate and don't want to build up the PdfPTable in memory. Is there some better approach than using fitsPage to handle very large tables? What else should we use? --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business? Tell us what you think of them.

[iText-questions] ColumnText.addText question
Are you supposed to be able to use addText multiple times before calling go? sample snippet: ct.setSimpleColumn(llx, lly, urx, ury); ct.addText(new Phrase(This is a test, font)); ct.addText(new Phrase(This is another, font)); ct.go(); This seems to only show the second phrase. If this is how addText is supposed to work, then what is the difference between addText and setText? I have a list of Paragraphs which I would like to add to an irregular column. I can't use addElement with an irregular column, but was hoping to be able to add them using addText(Phrase) (since a Paragraph is derived from Phrase). Perhaps I am just out of luck :) --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

[iText-questions] MultiColumnText
Ever since Christian Lauer posted some questions about adding ColumnText directly to a
document,
I've been thinking about how I would want to use it. Last night I made a helper class
(MultiColumnText) that is an element and can be added to a document directly. It can
handle regular
or irregular columns and can either have a fixed height or flow to fill each page
until all of its
content is rendered. ColumnText is doing all the hard work underneath.
To test it I made a random iText poem generator. This snippet shows how
MultiColumnText is used:
// param is height, AUTOMATIC fills full pages until out of content
MultiColumnText mct = new MultiColumnText(MultiColumnText.AUTOMATIC);
// params are left edge, right edge, gutter width, number of columns
mct.addRegularColumns(document.left(), document.right(), 10f, 3);
for (int i=0; i30; i++) {
mct.addElement(newPara(randomWord(noun), Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
Font.BOLDITALIC));
for (int j=0; j4; j++ ) {
mct.addElement(newPara(poemLine(), Element.ALIGN_LEFT, Font.NORMAL));
}
mct.addElement(newPara(randomWord(adverb), Element.ALIGN_LEFT, Font.NORMAL));
mct.addElement(newPara(\n\n, Element.ALIGN_LEFT, Font.NORMAL));
}
document.add(mct);
Would anyone be interested in something like this? I'll be glad to contribute
MultiColumnText or
enhance it if anyone thinks it is useful. I have attached the resulting iText poems
for your
amusement (I'm apparently easily amused). I liked the line drunken PdfPTable halts
finally (no
offense intended Paulo).

Re: [iText-questions] ColumnText
Do you think ColumnText should implement Element? Then you could add a form
of setSimpleColumn that only sets height and width and the add call in
PdfDocument could adjust for horizontal alignment and call the existing
setSimpleColumn using the currentHeight and indents (like it does in
addPTable).

Subject: [iText-questions] ColumnText
Hi Paulo,
I'd like to enhance the support of ColumnText in UJAC. For that I'd like
to add a column text seamlessly to the document like other elements like
tables, paragraphs or lists do. To make that happen I need to know the
current page position. To get this, I tried the following workaround,
which works, but adds a huge spacing between the current text and the
column text.
public float getVerticalPosition() throws DocumentHandlerException {
try {
Table tab = new Table(1);
return ((PdfWriter) documentWriter).getTableBottom(tab);
} catch (BadElementException ex) {
throw new DocumentHandlerException(locator(), ex.getMessage(),
ex);
}
}
Is there a better solution?
Best regards,
Christian

[iText-questions] PdfPTable borders
PdfPTable isn't derived from Rectangle like Table is, so it doesn't have borders itself, just on the cells. I'm converting some code to use PdfPTable instead of Table and the lack of table level borders is a bit of a problem. My cells are added in an event driven manner (from a SAX data source) so I can't tell that I'm on the last row until after I have added the final row of cells. I can't force a bottom border on the last row. How would everyone (particularly Paulo) feel about making PdfPTable derived from Rectangle? Was there a particular reason that PdfPTable does this differently than Table? --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.

Re: [iText-questions] Vertical alignment in PdfPCells
Thanks for catching that bug, Paulo. Here is a revised version of ColumnText that handles composite elements correctly (I think :). At least I have a simple test case that failed before and now works. I also changed ColumnText.duplicate to use setACopy (just avoiding a small amount of code duplication). I added the code to copy the useAscender flag directly to the goComposite method since that is how everything else is copied. Would it be better to use setACopy to copy all of the ColumnText fields, then override a few with parameters from the added Element? It would be nice to have the bulk of parameter copying in one place. Thanks again for pointing out the problem. - Original Message - From: Paulo Soares [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Steve Appling [EMAIL PROTECTED]; iText Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:38 AM Subject: RE: [iText-questions] Vertical alignment in PdfPCells A composite element is an element added with ColumntText.addElement(), it's the same with PdfPCell.

Re: [iText-questions] PdfPTable borders
Perhaps I don't understand the use of PdfPTableEvent well enough. If my
table spans multiple pages, how can I use the information in the
PdfPTableEvent to determine the appropriate borders? Can I use the canvas
to write across previous pages? If so, then perhaps this would be better,
although the changes to allow PdfPTable to have a border also seem fairly
simple. Here is what I did to evaluate this:
In PdfPTable.writeSelectedRows(int colStart, int colEnd, int rowStart, int
rowEnd, float xPos, float yPos, PdfContentByte[] canvases), I added the
following at the very end:
setLeft(xPos);
setRight(xPos + getTotalWidth());
setTop(yPosStart);
setBottom(yPos);
Rectangle borderRect = new Rectangle(this);
if (hasPreviousSubtables) {
borderRect.disableBorderSide(Rectangle.TOP);
}
if (hasMoreSubtables) {
borderRect.disableBorderSide(Rectangle.BOTTOM);
}
canvases[LINECANVAS].rectangle(borderRect);
Note the new members hasPreviousSubtables and hasMoreSubtables (names
debateable). Other small changes to make sure new Rectangle properties are
copied appropriately.
In ColumnText (starting at line 1279 of my version) I added:
if (listIdx 0) {
nt.hasPreviousSubtables = true;
}
if (k table.size()) {
nt.hasMoreSubtables = true;
}
this is right before the line:
nt.writeSelectedRows(0, -1, x1, yLineWrite, canvas);
This seems fairly straightforward, but I don't quite follow all of the
ColumnText code, so I may be missing something important.
If this is something you would like to pursue, then I need to make some
small changes to accomodate the variable width border code I am using. I
can do that and send you the two updated files.

[iText-questions] Problems with nested Table in itext-paulo-137
When using a Table that has one cell containing both a paragraph and another
table (which has only 1 cell with a paragraph), I get an
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on line 177 of PdfTable. I think this is
caused by the changes to the PdfTable constructor in iText-paulo-137. When I
test against the 1.02b version, it works fine.
I think the root of the problem is that PdfTable.columns is set early in the
constructor before updateRowAdditionsInternal() is called. This ends up
calling table.complete() which merges the inner table and changes the number
of columns. Then, when looping over the columns back in the constructor,
you get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. I tried adding table.complete()
earlier in the constructor, but that seemed to cause other problems. I will
continue to look into this, but would appreciate any help I can get.
I'm also not convinced that table.mergeInsertedTables() is working
correctly - I end up with a 3 row x 3 column table in this case. That
doesn't seem correct, but I don't quite follow what mergeInsertedTables is
doing.
Here is a fragment of the test code I am using that causes the problem:
public void testSimpleNesting() throws DocumentException
{
Font tableFont = FontFactory.getFont(Helvetica, 8, Font.BOLD,
Color.BLACK);
Table outerTable = new Table(1);
Paragraph p = new Paragraph(test, tableFont);
Table innerTable= new Table(1);
innerTable.addCell(makeCell(new Element[] {p }, Element.ALIGN_LEFT,
Element.ALIGN_TOP, new Rectangle(100,100)));
outerTable.addCell(makeCell(new Element[] {p, innerTable},
Element.ALIGN_LEFT, Element.ALIGN_TOP, new Rectangle(100,100)));
document.add(outerTable);
}
Cell makeCell(Element[] elements, int vAlignment, int hAlignment,
Rectangle borders) {
Cell cell = new Cell();
if (elements != null) {
for (int i = 0; i elements.length; i++) {
Element el = elements[i];
cell.add(el);
}
}
cell.setVerticalAlignment(vAlignment);
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(hAlignment);
return cell;
}

[iText-questions] Font Descent
Given a BaseFont object, how can I determine the font descent (maximum extent below the baseline) in points? The BaseFont class contains a static constant DESCENT member, but I don't see how this can be the real descent for every font regardless of size. It has a value of 3, but I'm not sure what unit that is in. The PdfContentByte.setTextMatrix seems to appropriately position text relative to the baseline, but I can't figure out how to position a subsequent line so that (for an arbitrary font and size) it will be directly under the text (containing characters like y). --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
