[iText-questions] Import pages to PdfWriter
Hiyas
I've got a PDF with form fields that I want to fill with different
values and, for each database record, fill up a huge PDF with a copy of
the PDF Form I just read and filled out.
The filling of the values works perfectly, but this code here:
private void copyPages(final byte[] pdfArray, PdfWriter writer) throws
IOException, DocumentException {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdfArray);
try {
for (int i=1; i=reader.getNumberOfPages(); i++) {
PdfImportedPage importedPage = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
writer.getDirectContent().addTemplate(importedPage, 0, 0);
writer.newPage();
}
}
finally { writer.freeReader(reader); }
}
Somehow doesn't want to add a new page in the huge PDF. For each
database record I fetch, it simply puts one page over each other, never
incrementing the page number of the writer (the huge PDF has exactly one
page after everything is written).
Shouldn't newPage() on the PdfWriter create a new page that I can fill
when the next record is found or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks
Rog

It's Document.newPage().

Re: [iText-questions] Import pages
Leonard, this is a sympathetic comment: Doesn't it make you feel bad always having to tell people what you're going to give them and never having time to perfect it for delivery? I've been going through this for over a year with a particular project I am working on and it fills me with guilt every time I mention it to its user community... :) -Matt --- Leonard Rosenthol [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 4:02 PM +0100 11/8/02, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've gotten successfully all informations about annotations in the input page, but I'm not able to write them into output page. I've tried to use PdfAnnotation.createLink method but without success. How can I write PdfAnnotation? Well, the page copier that will appear in future iText's doesn't attempt to convert input stuctures to output structures (PdfAnnotation is for output only) - instead it actually copies the lower level PDF data. In order to do the approach that you are doing, I suspect that you are going to need to extend PdfAnnotation to support a wider set of functions to be able to losslessly convert.

Great, don't know when or whether I'll need it but it's always nice to see iText grow, which it's done a lot since I first started using it. -Matt --- Leonard Rosenthol [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 7:38 AM -0800 11/8/02, Matt Benson wrote: Doesn't it make you feel bad always having to tell people what you're going to give them and never having time to perfect it for delivery?

Quoting Leonard Rosenthol [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I FINALLY sent the code to Paolo last night ;). I will make the time to put Paulo's release on CVS and on my site maximum 1 week after it is published on his site. Bruno --- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.

[iText-questions] import pages
hello,
what am I doing wrong in the following:
public class DummyPDF{
DummyPDF(String name, String file, int dest) {
Document document = new Document();
try {
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance
(document, new FileOutputStream(name));
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(file);
document.open();
document.add(
new Paragraph( initial document + name));
PdfImportedPage pip =
writer.getImportedPage(m_reader, dest);
document.close();
}
catch(Exception e){
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length = 3) {
try {
int i = Integer.parseInt(args[2]);
new DummyPDF(args[0], args[1], i);
}
catch (NumberFormatException e) {}
}
}
}
When I run java DummyPDF file1.pdf file2.pdf 7, the
resulting file1.pdf only shows the inserted paragraph
in Acrobat Reader. On the other hand, something seems
to be written to file1.pdf and its size will depend on
what is to be imported.
appreciating any help
Jezebel
