Hi Tilman,
thank you for your quick reply. I just can't follow at all???
As an example I would like to start with the example
"HelloWorld.java", which should give me the pdf-File "HelloWorld.pdf".
To make it easy I start with the commandline-tools.
The only one that is creating a pdf is "PrintPDF".
When I use it as:
|java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.2.jar ||TextToPDF [||] HelloWorld.pdf
HelloWorld.java
|I get the the printed java listing as a pdf.
Yes.
But what should I use as |[OPTIONS]|? The compiled HelloWorld.class...
No, these are command line tools, and these are the options:
Usage: jar -jar pdfbox-app-x.y.z.jar TextToPDF [options] <outputfile>
<textfile>
Options:
-standardFont <name> : Helvetica (default)
Courier-Bold
Courier-BoldOblique
Times-Roman
Helvetica-Oblique
Courier-Oblique
Symbol
Times-Italic
Helvetica
Helvetica-Bold
Times-BoldItalic
ZapfDingbats
Times-Bold
Helvetica-BoldOblique
Courier
-ttf <ttf file> : The TTF font to use.
-fontSize <fontSize> : default: 10 -landscape : sets
orientation to landscape
If you want to develop software yourself, you need an IDE (e.g.
Netbeans, Eclipse, IntelliJ) and then use the .java program I mentioned
and the libraries. (coincidentally, the *app.jar can be used too)
My tests with |PrintPDF| where also frustrating...
What happened?
I am really just lost.
What is your experience in java software developing? I'm just asking to
be sure that I don't write too much. But if you just started, then it
will be tough...
Tilman
Thank you
