Re: [iText-questions] PDF/A compliance tests

Hi, Maybe it's the same problem I had a year ago. Are you working with setCharAdvance? It will break PDF/A conformance. See: http://www.nabble.com/PDF-A-and-BaseFont.setCharAdvance-will-give-errors-td15090763.html#a15090763 Regards, Elmar > Sorry for replying to myself, but I think it's interest

[iText-questions] Font for freetext annotation

Hi, I want to control the font used for a freetext annotation to be PDF/A compatible. Doing it this way, my own basefont will not be used. Is there a way to have iText referencing my font. Snippet: BaseFont courier = BaseFont.createFont(path + "DejaVuSansMono.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, true); Pdf

Re: [iText-questions] Problem with PDF/A validation

Hi, Leonard! Thanks for your hints. Intarsys really had a problem with embedded font recognition. It will be fixed in the next version of their online validation tool this week. BTW: The minimal requirements for PDF/A-1a concerning MarkInfo and StructTreeRoot entries can be done with the followi

Re: [iText-questions] Problem with PDF/A validation

Clarification: Intarsys reports: 1 Error: Font QTCBLA+DejaVuSansMono must be embedded 2 Warnings: No unique ID found No history entry existing Report was in German, so the translation may be suboptimal. So why does Intarsys think, the font isn't embedded? Elmar > Don't know what they are

[iText-questions] Comments on com.lowagie.text.pdf.parser addition to SVN

Hi, another idea was to extract the images and do some OCR on them (e.g. with tesseract) and put the text behind the image to be better searchable. Elmar >Kevin Day wrote: >> I saw mention a bit earlier of using the content parser to determine >> embedded image (or other xobject) location, etc...

[iText-questions] Problem with generating PDF/A with iText

Hi, I'm building PDF/A documents with iText, but I have a problem with the validation. What's going wrong? The PDF/A specification demands in 6.1.8: ... The obj and endobj keywords shall each be followed by an EOL marker. This is the case for endobj, but not for obj. If you inspect the class com

Re: [iText-questions] Multipage TIFF containing TiFF and JPEG and Tiles

Hi, I had the same problem. The solution is to use JAI-ImageIO to read those terric tiffs. I read the image with imageio means into a BufferedImage, encode it to a byte array as a JPEG image and then read with iText methods into an iText Image. ImageIO is able to read almost any (really) strang

[iText-questions] PDF/A and BaseFont.setCharAdvance will give errors

Hi, I am embedding a Unicode ttf font and afterwards use setCharAdvance to adjust the CPI settings for my font. This works fine and yields the desired results. But now I have to produce PDF/A-1b correctly. Acrobat 8.1 is mocking on 'Width information for characters is inconsistent' (or whatever

Re: [iText-questions] Problem with Font creation.

Hi, sorry to answer so late. Had some Christmas days off :-) I had the same problem and resolved the font loading as follows: InputStream ris = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/DejaVuSansMono.ttf"); byte[] ttfAfm = IOUtils.toByteArray(ris); ris.close(); BaseFont dejaVuSans = BaseFont.creat

Re: [iText-questions] CPI (horizontal spacing) for Chunk or Paragraph

Yes, it works fine with your hints. I chose the setCharAdvance way. BTW, DesiredCharAdvance = 72 (pt) * 1000 (fontunit) / (desiredCPI) / (fontsize). Thanks Elmar - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still greppin

Re: [iText-questions] CPI (horizontal spacing) for Chunk or

Yes, it's a monospace ttf font. But on which parameters do I have to do some math? I don't want to change the font size, just enlarge the space between the characters. Thanks Elmar >Schal?ck wrote: >> Hi, >> I need to do reports with predefined values for CPI (characters per inch). I >> saw a

[iText-questions] CPI (horizontal spacing) for Chunk or Paragraph

Hi, I need to do reports with predefined values for CPI (characters per inch). I saw a technique using PdfGraphics2D in a thread in the archives, but to me Chunk or Paragraph would be easier. Do we have any tools for this? Elmar ---

[iText-questions] Reducing memory for JAI-ImageIO images

Hi, it's a bit of off topic :-( I load an image (tiff multipage with old jpeg in tiff encoding) via JAI ImageIO. The resulting image is larger than the memory within the original tiff. So my resulting PDF is about twice the size of the original tiff file. Does anyone has any good idea about reducin

[iText-questions] Problems with reading a TTF font

[iText-questions] Problems with PageFormats for image-only pages
