Resp. Sir,
Want your help for PDF generation
Before some days u suggest use of acroform, pdfstamper and others for editing pdf requirement.
But I will make you more clear about requirement :
===============================================================
Requirement Status Remark
===============================================================
1. Editing PDF before generation NOT YET What will be generic solution if
that is user may view template there are different types of template
with data and then click on and we have to manage them
generate.
( HTML form will ok for editing that is we may provide html controls to user before editing..
we may create number of forms depending on number of template which contain editable
text area or text filed.. but then what about complexity of application ? we need
some generic solution )
================================================================
For without editing content of PDF before generation I have we are implementing using
xml-xslt-tagmap approach. Because.. it will be generic solution.. just specify
1. Template in xml format + Generate data xml from java program = Merge xml
2. Map merge xml with tagmap and using that generate PDF.
Above solution is generic rather than writing separate java code for creating..
diff types of PDF with diff. layout..
But what if
1. If user want to view template (that is with data) (may be simple html form... acroform and pdfstamper will not
require) and then generate PDF
2. What about setting auto-page break and header on each page using xml and tagmap ?
Thanks in adavace..
