Re: [iText-questions] Silent license change?
Sorry for my naivety on this. What effect will that have on existing user's using older versions of iText code in there current commercial projects/products? What effect will it have using the latest iText (v5 or whatever) in any future * products/projects? i.e. Will we need to pay for it? *Obviously NOT pretending to pass it off as our own code! I don't want to get into a situation where I recommend switching all our code to iText from ManyImage (IBM) to find out we are financially tied in without realising it.

I'd thought there was an announcement, but I get the dev list as well and might be getting my wires crossed. gmane to the rescue: There are a couple mentions of iText using AGPL going forward hither and yon, but nothing OVERT. Bruno will want to make some official announcment, but he's rather busy Actually Writing Code right now. Here's a completely **unofficial** announcement: The next major release of iText will undergo several Big Changes: 1) The version number will jump (to 5.0?), and both java and c# versions will henceforth share the same version. This is both a Sanity Thing and an effort to reflect other significant changes. 2) MPL/LGPL will be dropped in favor of AGPL. The last MPL/LGPL version of the source is iText 4.20, here: http://itext.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/itext/tags/iText_4_2_0/ (yes, iText 420... har har dude) Yes, the existance of iTextSoftware.com (and the effort to make some money on many years of hard work) influenced this decision. 3) All non-PDF code will be moved into separate projects. 4) All the "trunk" stuff is currently being moved (as we speak, see aforementioned "Actually Writing Code" comment) into a new package, "com.itextpdf.*". THIS WILL BREAK BINARY COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING CODE. Given the licensing change, this isn't such a bad thing. Previous users will need to make a Conscious Decision to switch versions, not just drop in a new JAR file. 5) iText will be built using java 1.5. Expect 1.5-isms (generics in particular) to creep their way into the source, though I'm not aware of any major effort to update en mass. --Mark Storer Senior Software Engineer Cardiff.com #include typedef std::Disclaimer DisCard; > -Original Message- > From: Vesa Jääskeläinen [mailto:ch...@nic.fi] > Sent: Friday, December 04, 2009 8:30 AM > To: iText questions > Subject: [iText-questions] Silent license change? > > > It seems that 1st of December 2009 iText license has been silently > changed from MPL+LGPL to AGPL. > > Does this mean that iTextSharp will also be switching to > AGPL?

[iText-questions] Release iText 5.0.0
Hello all, 5 months after the release of iText 2.1.7, we're now releasing iText 5. It took a long time to make this release, and we made a huge jump in the version number for the following reasons: 1. We've upgraded the license to the AGPL as recommended by the Free Software Foundation for any software which will commonly be run over a network: http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses 2. The package names have changed from com.lowagie to com.itextpdf That way, my name is no longer "part of the code". I've been wanting to do this for a very long time because sometimes people confuse me with the product ;-) 3. We're no longer compiling iText with the JDK 1.4, but with Java 5! Note that we didn't introduce Java 5 syntax yet, so you may be able to compile the jar with JDK 1.4 for a while. 4. We've moved the RTF package to a separate project on SF: https://sourceforge.net/projects/itextrtf/ 5. We've dropped plenty of obsolete functionality that hasn't been supported for years. For more details about these changes, see the changelog: http://itextpdf.com/history.php?branch=history.50&node=500 Note that (1) may break the compatibility with the policy used for your project. (2) will most certainly break all your existing code. (3), (4), and (5) could also break your existing code. In other words: it will be impossible to upgrade from the old iText to iText 5. You'll need to take sufficient time to migrate. best regards, Bruno -- Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.

The older versions will no longer be supported, and will eventually die.

No, as long as you make the source code of your products/projects available for free as AGPL software, you don't have to pay anything. BUT: as soon as you develop commercial activities with the new iText, you'll have to pay a fee to be released from the AGPL restrictions. I see that you're working for a governmental organization. This means you probably won't develop any commercial activities, so it will be sufficient if you make sure the users of your project/product have a way to get the source code. I quote the AGPL: "For example, if your program is a web application, its interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive of the code." > I don't want to get into a situation where I recommend switching all our code > to iText from ManyImage (IBM) > to find out we are financially tied in without realising it. If your project is Free Software, then you don't have any financial obligation. That's what Free Software is about. As soon as you expect to make money with your product, you'll need to pay a fee. That's fair isn't it? iText isn't "free beer" ;-) Before you ask: I can't give you a concrete price for an iText license, because that depends entirely on your use of iText. Contact info for sales inquiries can be found here: http://itextpdf.com/contact.php It's obvious that a small company using iText to create online invoices for its customers won't have to pay as much Google will have to pay if they decide to upgrade iText in Google Analytics, Google Calendar, Google Docs, etc... -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info -- Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.

You can make money with an open source project even if it's using an AGPLv3 licensed library without having to pay a license fee to the owner of the AGPLv3 library. The only obligation is that your complete project will be AGPLv3 licensed. You cannot create a closed source project when you use AGPLv3 licensed code.

Thanks for the clarification. But as soon as you want to remove the AGPL from iText, for instance in the context of dual licensing, you or the customer that wants to be released of the restrictions of the AGPL has to buy a license. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info -- Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.

Re: [iText-questions] Silent license change?
Thanks for that clarification Paulo, it does leave me a little confused however. If you pull the 106 revision (or in fact any revision after 98) the AssemblyInfo still states a version of 4.1.6 but the license in each file is AGPL as is the License indicated in the Develop tab of whole the project. More than a little confusing, until that version number changes isn't this still 4.1.6? The revision may have changed but the published version number has remained the same. Where does this leave 4.1.6 rev 106? Is it LGPL/MPL or is the source supposed to be 5.0.0 and is AGPL?

From version 99 onward is AGPL as written in the log "Change of license to AGPL and removal of a mail address." and as written in all the files, I don't see where's the doubt.

Re: [iText-questions] How can I change contents of a text field at signing?
Thank you BUT you keep saying to add as an "OnFocus" event. The problem is
that there is nowhere that shows an example of this being added in the
documentation or anywhere else.
Would you have an example of the code I would need to add it to the
signature field?

Subject: [iText-questions] How can I change contents of a text field at
signing?
I have a PDF that has say a text field called "message" and a digital
signature field called "sign".
When a user opens the PDF, the "message" field says "welcome" BUT I
want
the
text to change to "thank you" once the document is signed.
My problem is that if I try to dynamically change the text on the
MOUSEUP
action of the signing process, the text changes BUT it invalidates the
signature stating the field "message" was modified after the signature
was
applied.
Here is a sample of the code used (using ColdFusion code):
sign = acroForm.addSignature("sign", 122, 30, 300,
108).setAction(PdfAction.javaScript("
var sigCheck = this.getField('sign').value;
if (sigCheck != '')
{
this.getField('message').value = 'thank you';
}

Mr/Mrs Google is your friend. Hint: Search for "AcroJS.pdf"; then in the PDF,
search for "onFocus".

Thank you BUT you keep saying to add as an "OnFocus" event. The problem is
that there is nowhere that shows an example of this being added in the
documentation or anywhere else.
Would you have an example of the code I would need to add it to the
signature field?

Subject: [iText-questions] How can I change contents of a text field at
signing?
I have a PDF that has say a text field called "message" and a digital
signature field called "sign".
When a user opens the PDF, the "message" field says "welcome" BUT I
want
the
text to change to "thank you" once the document is signed.
My problem is that if I try to dynamically change the text on the
MOUSEUP
action of the signing process, the text changes BUT it invalidates the
signature stating the field "message" was modified after the signature
was
applied.
Here is a sample of the code used (using ColdFusion code):
sign = acroForm.addSignature("sign", 122, 30, 300,
108).setAction(PdfAction.javaScript("
var sigCheck = this.getField('sign').value;
if (sigCheck != '')
{
this.getField('message').value = 'thank you';
}
", writer));

Click on the link that is on the bottom of each mail sent to the mailing
list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
Knowing that you need some JavaScript functionality that responds
on the onFocus event (see for instance p498 of the first edition
of "iText in Action"), you click on the keyword "JavaScript" to
find this page:
http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/index.php?page=keyword&id=535
Now click on the first link you see:
http://1t3xt.info/examples/browse/?page=example&id=438
Now download that example, and study it closely.
Especially this line:
noAction.put(new PdfName("Fo"),
PdfAction.javaScript("setReadOnly(true);", stamper.getWriter()));
Please don't pretend the documentation that is provided for free
is insufficient, because that's not very respectful.

Many on the list are busy and don't have time for clue, a one line answer is
probably
easier. But, several seemed upset when I would respond "grep the source code"
in the spirit of "teach a man to fish." My condolensces if you are using CF (
no
offense to Adobe, and Leo has convinced me many problems I had experienced as a
PDF
user were do to customers not the product itself) as it does have a lot of
quirks and personally
if you did know java I would suggest something like servlet for itext (
although writing your own
java server is not difficult either, and CF can talk to that too if you want to
offload stuff to it).
If you don't know java, and want to use java, sun has excellent resources and
google confined to
sun.com will usually find an answer. This even comes up on other "java" lists (
like j2me people who
don't know normal java )...

Sometimes that is all people have time to figure out if you can only outline
your
problem, sometimes that is all that seems apropos for free.

That's not a clue!!! That example shows exactly how to
add an onFocus event to a field in an AcroForm!

[iText-questions] HTMLWorker support for ROWSPAN - Modifying IncCell.java
Hi, i'm using HTMLWorker to convert some HTML to PDF.
The problem is that HTMLWorker is not supporting RowSpan. I readed in
some post that HTMLWorker was created before rowspan support.
I modified the class com.lowagie.text.html.simpleparser.IncCell adding
next code after the colspan check in the constructor and now
HTMLWorker is working great with rowspan:
String rowspanvalue = props.getProperty("rowspan");
if (rowspanvalue != null)
cell.setRowspan((Integer.parseInt(rowspanvalue)));
Have you tried this? Do you see some future problem doing this?
I'm using 2.1.7 version of iText.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Its terribly frustrating at times and as i mentioned, we aren't piggybacking
on "free" documentation..we purchased the book itself.
I guess I will keep trying given that nobody seems to want to provide
assistance other than clues.
Thanks again

Re: [iText-questions] How can I change contents of a text field at signing?
Thanks Bruno...this is actually very helpful and gives me greater insight.
My only concern now is how to add an EXTRA event to the same acrofield.
Thanks to all...and as a side note, I am NOT asking for anyone to write my
code thank you very much...I asked a simple question, I thought...it's a
FANTASTIC API. On another note, sometimes we workers are held to a certain
coding environment (coldfusion) and we are not permitted to change the
customer's entire server strategy but work within it.
I had no idea that "noAction.put" was a reference to "OnFocus".
Thanks for the examples Bruno...your work is very much appreciated.

Re: [iText-questions] FW: How can I change contents of a text field at signing?
Wow...terribly sorry for asking a question. I came here because there are experts in here that presumably know more about the inner workings of iText than I do. Pointing me to a 692 page PDF is not exactly helpful, given that it references event examples that pertain specifically to writing Acroscript directly using Acrobat product and not iText for Java. I am not expecting anyone to help me write my code...in fact when someone asks me for input on a subject such as CF which I know well...I don't lambast them and hurl insults at them...quite the opposite...I try to be direct and give them a working example in hopes they are encouraged to use the product more and at the same time learn something new. Since using iText I have found it to be an amazing API and what I have accomplished with it I am quite proud of...but again, I did go through the documentation, but being a non JAVA person, simply sought out some advice such as "try using this syntax". I certainly didn't envision my professional credentials being questioned and insulted. That being said...I do appreciate the advice. wasegraves wrote: > > fyi, john, the caps in my previous to webpoinz were for emphasis, rather > than shouting. you obviously missed my more direct earlier response to the > op, in which i pointed him directly to the documentation he had missed. > cheers, bill s. > > p.s. in addition, i was gently trying to point out to the op that he was > asking hundreds, perhaps thousands of people, for help doing something he > was perfectly capable of doing himself. in news/discussion groups, it is > considered to be extremely rude to ask many people at once to do your work > for you. > > > > - Original Message > From: John Renfrew > To: iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net > Sent: Mon, December 7, 2009 1:16:52 PM > Subject: [iText-questions] FW: How can I change contents of a text field > at signing? > > Webpointz, > > ... >>> It is MUCH easier NOT to shout than to be supportive and kind.

You've fixed the problem correctly.
The only problem I see, is the fact that there are still some
rowspan bugs in iText 2.1.7. These bugs are fixed in iText 5.
These bugs are not related to your HTMLWorker patch, they also
occur if you create the PdfPTable from code (instead of from HTML).

The book will also explain how to fill out static and dynamic XFA forms: that wasn't possible when I wrote the first book. In chapter 2, you'll learn about tabs and vertical position marks. That functionality isn't as sexy as XFA, but it didn't exist either 3 years ago. The same goes for concatenating documents with remote destinations: you can now convert them into local destinations after concatenating them. There's plenty of small examples like that that are new. best regards, Bruno -- Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.

Re: [iText-questions] How can I change contents of a text field at signing?
Wow! I had no idea my suggestion would be taken in such a negative light.
Because the OP made no mention of the AcroJS PDF in his "nowhere ... in the
documentation" comment, I felt he might benefit from looking at it. If the
conversation had not turned sour so abruptly, I might have added that the
AcroJS PDF is the source of authority on what JS methods are supported by Adobe
Acrobat and Reader, and consequently, is an important part of the huge amount
of documentation available to iText users.
In hopes that peace will break out this season, I wish you a Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year,

Thank you BUT you keep saying to add as an "OnFocus" event. The problem is
that there is nowhere that shows an example of this being added in the
documentation or anywhere else.
Would you have an example of the code I would need to add it to the

Re: [iText-questions] Silent license change?
Hi, Do you mind making iTextSharp 4.1.7 or 4.2.0 or what ever version of the svn revision 98. That would make life a bit easier for us maintaining old software if there is release for the last LGPL+MPL version license. License change for other projects matching the AGPL ain't that pretty task at this time. I was kinda waiting for those my small patches to come to official release. And if you are not. What is the preferred version number for that revision? 4.1.6.98 ? Oh. And if you really want to sell the 5.0 you might want to reconsider publishing pricing on the web...

[iText-questions] controlling whitespace with PdfContentByte.ShowText
Hi all, I am trying to build a PDF based on OCR data and to place the text behind the source image. I am running into problems getting proper spacing between words. I am able to get the text position to match the image using PdfContentByte.SetTextMatrix and PdfContentByte.ShowText for each individual character (including whitespace characters) however when selecting the text in the produced PDF there are very few (and randomly placed) spaces between words. I also tried using PdfContentByte.ShowText on entire words and lines (although the text size no longer matched the image as closely) but again there were only a few randomly placed spaces. I tried calculating the character and word spacing for a particular line of OCR text and scaling those values to match the PDF size and setting PdfContentByte.SetWordSpacing and PdfContentByte.SetCharacterSpacing but it did not appear to have any effect. How do I control whitespace when using PdfContentByte.ShowText?

Re: [iText-questions] Silent license change?
Sorry Paulo, but what do you mean you don't see where there's doubt? You have the potential of multiple DLLs all reporting 4.1.6 as their version and no way of telling if it's a LGPL/MPL or and AGPL licensed release unless you are working from the source. That's confusion to me. The announcement was that 5.0.0 and on would be AGPL yet 4.1.6 SVN revision 99 to 106 (at least) has had the license changed from LGPL/MPL to AGPL. I'm not against the change of license, it's your software you do what you want, but I do need to have a clear understanding of what version is licensed how and when so that I can make sure I'm in compliance until your sales team get around to contacting me. -Original Message- From: Paulo Soares [mailto:psoa...@glintt.com] Sent: 07 December 2009 3:31 PM To: Post all your questions about iText here Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Silent license change? >From version 99 onward is AGPL as written in the log "Change of license to AGPL and removal of a mail address." and as written in all the files, I don't see where's the doubt.

[iText-questions] Row Spans in Long Tables
Hi, I have been using iText for a while now, I have upgraded to the 2.1.7 version. I am trying to use it to generate reports in the pdf format. The problem I am facing is that when there are huge tables and I use row spans, the row spans span onto a few pages making the report difficult to understand as there an entire column without data sometimes even two. Can anybody suggest me how to repeat the row data only once on each page if there is a span and the page has to go to the next page? Also I have noticed that the performance takes a big hit when I have tables who implement a lot of row spans, is there any particular explanation for that?

Isn't that a consequence that was to be expected when using rowspan? Depending on the context, you could: - use a table header (that way the column isn't entirely empty) - switch to using nested tables (I don't know if this solves anything, but it could give you more control). - use table/cell events (again: without seeing the project and the data that goes into the table, I can guarantee this solves anything.) - ... > Can anybody suggest me how to repeat the row data only once on each page if > there is a span and the page has to go to the next page? At first sight, I'd say: don't add the content that needs to be repeated to the cell, but add it to a cell event. > Also I have noticed that the performance takes a big hit when I have tables > who implement a lot of row spans, is there any particular explanation for > that? If you use rowspan, iText has to "think several rows ahead". While constructing the rows, it has to "look back several rows". That's expensive in terms of CPU. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info -- Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev ___ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
