Hi Mike,

Thanks for your responses.  I will try out your suggestions and post a
solution if I happen to resolve this one.

Its hard to know if itext even thinks there is a problem.
I guesss a debug jar could help, I have gotten in to habit of using the
c++ preprocessor with java and can make build with various features
or for different target platforms ( even java is not entirely platform 
independent).

Really this could be anything- an invalid input image, a messed up font, etc.
If you can identify what the reader is complaining about you should be able
to narrow down the possible code issues. 
It is possible you could just dump the pdf as an ascii file and visually
compare the ascii to a known good one or see if the high bit is
now being reset using a binary dump utility etc.

2010-02-28 Thread sashah

Hi Mike,

The .jar is always built into the .ear for the application and deployed to
the server.

The original WL8 version used iText-1.4.7.jar.  I did not have to make any
significant code changes when I went from iText-1.4.7.jar to
iText-2.1.7.jar, while there were quite a few changes going to
iText-5.0.1.jar.  Since WL10 runs under Java 1.6, and the 5.0.1 version is
written in Java 5, I was hoping the Adobe 9 issues were resolved in
iText-5.0.1.jar.

I wish it was easier to narrow down the problem in the iText.jar.  Since no
errors are thrown and I have not been able to pinpoint the difference in the
documents I was hoping somebody had already experienced the problem.

Thanks...
S

Also it isn't clear what is meant:
is "Error Page" shown in the browser title?
Then it's not a PDF or an iText problem.

Furthermore: the OP is using JSP.
It is very well documented that people using iText with JSP are
deliberately choosing to solve all their problems on their own.

Changing versions of something often creates small config changes. 
This could be a classpath order or some really subtle thing- unlikely
but I'm pointing out issues. Normally you can't just change a jar
file when API has changed and assume all the methods are the same
and it sounds like you never tried to recompile your app against the new
itext jars. I usually try to have a build of somethiing designed to run on a 
server
that runs from the  command line so it is easier to test.

If you want to approach this empirically and look at properties of the final
result, version-specific Adobe problems can only be answered by an insider like
Leonard- I'm not sure if either version has any means to get a detailed error 
report or
report back to adobe when it finds an error ( obviously I try not to use them 
LOL) . 
I'm not sure there is a good  pdf-dump tool likely to
point to the questionable code inside the pdf but maybe someone can suggest 
one. 
But, again, if you can narrow down the
problem item and it seems to be isolated, you may be able to find the itext code
responsible and post that.

If you want to approach this empirically and look at properties of the final
result, version-specific Adobe problems can only be answered by an insider like

Hi Mike,

The code has been under my control through the changes aso I can confirm
that no configurations changes were made.  Also all the tests were run on
the same server so that is also not likely to be the problem.  However, my
PC has Adobe 9 installed which was the client when I ran the tests described
below.   Then later, I tested it on a PC with Adobe 8 installed and I did
not see ant of the errors.  

This could be an Adobe 9 related problem.  Does anybody know of a fix for
it?

Thanks

There have been some cases where web servers treat PDF as ASCII
and clear high bit. You wouldn't want to rule out a change in configuration
so if you can diff config files that may be worthwhile ( if not for this
specific problem more generally ). Some people have complained about
quirks or problems using their code  with servlets etc and it isn't hard
to write code that only works for a very idiosyncratic server setup.

Can you trace the code far enough to get something related to itext?
Did you recompile against new itext or just replace jar files?
Often catching Exception is done when Throwable is more comprehensive.
In particular note that this does not derive from exception,

[iText-questions] PDF opened in Java shows 'Error Page' in Title

2010-02-27 Thread sashah

This may be an application specific problem.  If anybody has experienced it
before, please let me know.

I am in the process of upgrading a java web application from Weblogic8 to
Weblogic10.  The application renders invoices in PDF format via iText.jar.  

The original WL8 version used iText-1.4.7.jar

For the WL10 version I first tried iText-2.1.7.jar saw the errors I am about
to describe in this post and so am now trying out iText-5.0.1.jar but still
see the same errors.  The invoices (1 or 2 page documents) are all rendered
correctly, however, some of the invoices are rendered with the title
displayed as:

Billng App - Error Page  (only this line shows)
https://... url to the page

The title should display:

https://... url to the page

Error Page is the default title for the application's errorpage.jsp

If the applicaiton is throwing any errors, it is not apparent as there are
no errors in the logs or any visible differences in the PDF document.  It is
always the same documents that display the error.

Please let me know if you need more information, code extracts or screen
shots.

Your responses to this would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
S
