There's no such property. Use page events.
If page events don't rime with your MultiColumnText,
use ColumnText and draw the shapes you need using
moveTo() and lineTo() or rectangle().

columns borders

2009-11-12T10:19:11Z

Hello.

I am putting text into a pdf using columns, using multicolumnText object and paragraphs, but have not found any property to set border width to the columns, i mean i want a line drawn for each column not just the separating space.

MultiColumnText columns = new MultiColumnText();
columns.AddRegularColumns(72, 72 * 7.5f, 36, 5);

Re: Small problem with PdfPCell spanning more thanone page

It may be a rounding bug. Please post the complete code required to generate
the PDF ([Shortened for brevity] is not very useful and the devil is always
in the details).

Subject: [iText-questions] Small problem with PdfPCell spanning more thanone
page

Hey Guys,

I am using iTextSharp 4.1.6.0. I noticed that when a PdfPCell contains text
that forces it to span multiple pages, if the final line of text before the
page break falls in just the right place, that line will be repeated on the
next page (generic sample attached). I worked around it by adjusting the
top and bottom margin by a point or two.

The meat of the code I used to create the attachment is below. I am unsure
if the problem is with my code, iText, Reader, or some combination as I was
unable to find anything in the documentation or searches.

MemoryStream m = new MemoryStream();
Document objDocument = new Document(PageSize.LETTER, 20f, 20f,
35f, 33f);
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
PdfWriter objWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance(objDocument, m);
objWriter.PageEvent = objMyEvent;
objDocument.Open();
PdfPTable objTable = new PdfPTable(1);
PdfPCell objCell = null;
objTable.SplitLate = false;
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
objCell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Lorem ipsum dolor sit
amet [Shortened for brevity]", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 10f)));
objTable.AddCell(objCell);
}
objDocument.Add(objTable);
objDocument.Close();
Response.OutputStream.Write(m.GetBuffer(), 0,
m.GetBuffer().Length);
Response.OutputStream.Flush();
Response.OutputStream.Close();
Thanks,

That's an example on http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/
I really should remove those pages because they are really, really,
really obsolete.

Re: How to remove the "background" of an Acroform with iText

2009-11-12T09:03:48Z

If all you want is the form fields, you can go into each page's PdfDictionary and chop out PdfName.CONTENTS and PdfName.RESOURCES. You'll want to do this in PdfReader and then call removeUnusedObjects(). Only after you've yanked out everything you don't want do you create a Stamper.

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(...)
int numPages = reader.getNumberOfPages();
for(int i = 1; i <= numPages; ++i) { // pages are 1-indexed
PdfDictionary pageDict = reader.getPageN( i );
pageDict.remove( PdfName.CONTENTS );
pageDict.remove( PdfName.RESOURCES );
}
reader.removeUnusedObjects(); // removes any orphaned images/fonts/etc

PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper( reader, ... );

iText tutorial problem: Page x of y Example correction

Hi Bruno/Paulo (or mailing list users whom it may concern):

As people are not to keen to be contacted directly, I've had to post this here, so apologies if it's wrong in advance (as I'm not registered with the mailing list yet). This is not a question, I'm merely trying to be helpful with people getting error's with 'unbalanced states' trying to run the example program supplied.

I was looking at your example for page numbering and total pages example (as I'll be looking to put page numbering + total pages, mid page rather than in the footer), and the code example shown is seemingly incorrect (sorry if this is not the case).

To get it running I had to add in an extra cb.restoreState() into an else block (as shown just above the cb.sanityCheck() ):-

        // starting on page 3, a watermark with an Image that is made transparent
        if (writer.getPageNumber() >= 3) {
            cb.setGState(gstate);
            cb.setColorFill(Color.red);
            cb.beginText();
            cb.setFontAndSize(helv, 48);
            cb.showTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER, "Watermark Opacity " + writer.getPageNumber(), document.getPageSize().getWidth() / 2, document.getPageSize().getHeight() / 2, 45);
            cb.endText();
            try {
                cb.addImage(headerImage, headerImage.getWidth(), 0, 0, headerImage.getHeight(), 440, 80);
            }
            catch(Exception e) {
                throw new ExceptionConverter(e);
            }
            cb.restoreState();
        } else {
        cb.restoreState();
        }
        cb.sanityCheck();
    }

All the best :)

Same difference.
Just imagine that Java is pseudo code if you don't like Java.
The same objects and methods are present in C#.

Re: iText form manipulation : Acroform of XFA...

2009-11-12T06:03:24Z

XFA is NOT an Adobe only product, there are other companies that offers XFA-based solutions. However, I am not aware of any open-source libraries in this area. iText has limited support for XFA (mostly reading & writing it as a blob), but since it is XML you can do most things outside of iText anyway.

The one big thing that you can't do with iText (or any other open source solution at this time) is flattening/rendering the XFA. For that, you will need a solution such as Adobe's LiveCycle ES servers...

Hi,

I need to generate PDF documents and want to use a form as a template. Just
like the IText "accreditation card" exemple. I will then fill fields and
merge PDF & form to produce a PDF server side.

So far, I've played with Acroforms with success but I miss some formating
options

I've tried to design a form with LiveCycle Designer, which I think produces
XFA forms. With this, I can produce some advanced layout but I wonder :

- will I be able to "flatten" the XFA Form and the background PDF ?
- will I have access to "floating fields" via IText
- will I ultimately need another library that IText or even Adobe server
software to manipulate XFA form because it's an Adobe "only" product ?

Thanks a lot.

No.

You will be able to fill out the form,
but you'll have a hard time changing other field properties.
Also: this functionality is under development.
It will be discussed in chapter 8 of the new book,
but I'm not even halfway writing chapter 7.

> - will I ultimately need another library that IText or even Adobe server
> software to manipulate XFA form because it's an Adobe "only" product ?

It depends.

For instance: if you want to sign the form,
you'll need to fund iText development.
Note that the new iText functionality in this area
will be released as AGPL, not as MPL/LGPL,
so you may want to pay for it anyway.

If you need Reader Enabling you'll need Adobe products
(that's also true for AcroForm technology).

Subject: [iText-questions] How does the ETSI TS 102 778-4 PAdES-LTV DSS mechanism work in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.2?

Hello,

I am trying to implement the ETSI TS 102 778-Part 4, related to the extension of Long Term Validation of Signatures using iText. It consists of adding a Document Security Store (DSS) to the catalog. I THINK I've successfully added DSS and related members by modifying iText's source code. But I have found the following strange behavior. Here are the steps I've performed:

1. I've signed a blank PDF and embedded OCSP information in the signature (without adding DSS). I call this file B1.
2. I revoke the cert. I can still validate the file if I set "Use the time at which the signature was created" option.
3. If I set "Use Current Time" option, the file will not validate because the cert has been revoked. So far, so good.
4. I undo the revocation and I've signed the same PDF file and embedded the same OCSP response bytes BOTH in the signature and the DSS. I call this file B2.
5. I think I may have done something wrong, but this B2 file ALWAYS leads to ONLINE verification of the file regardless of the verification options I've set. Acrobat Reader 9.2 refuses to do off-line verification of the signature, despite having the embedded revocation information.

I suspect I may not have embedded the right OCSP bytes in the DSS. The OCSP bytes are the OCSP response bytes I've obtained from the OcspClientBouncyCastle class that comes with iText 2.1.7. These bytes are passed to PdfPKCS7.getAuthenticatedAttributeBytes to embed the OCSP revocation info in the signature. They are also reused and put in the Signature VRI dictionary's OCSP entry as described in the ETSI document. Have I done anything wrong? Thanks.

That's better done with JFreeChart. See

How does the ETSI TS 102 778-4 PAdES-LTV DSS mechanism work in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.2?

2009-11-12T01:50:26Z

Hello,

I am trying to implement the ETSI TS 102 778-Part 4, related to the extension of Long Term Validation of Signatures using iText. It consists of adding a Document Security Store (DSS) to the catalog. I THINK I've successfully added DSS and related members by modifying iText's source code. But I have found the following strange behavior. Here are the steps I've performed:

1. I've signed a blank PDF and embedded OCSP information in the signature (without adding DSS). I call this file B1.
2. I revoke the cert. I can still validate the file if I set "Use the time at which the signature was created" option.
3. If I set "Use Current Time" option, the file will not validate because the cert has been revoked. So far, so good.
4. I undo the revocation and I've signed the same PDF file and embedded the same OCSP response bytes BOTH in the signature and the DSS. I call this file B2.
5. I think I may have done something wrong, but this B2 file ALWAYS leads to ONLINE verification of the file regardless of the verification options I've set. Acrobat Reader 9.2 refuses to do off-line verification of the signature, despite having the embedded revocation information.

I suspect I may not have embedded the right OCSP bytes in the DSS. The OCSP bytes are the OCSP response bytes I've obtained from the OcspClientBouncyCastle class that comes with iText 2.1.7. These bytes are passed to PdfPKCS7.getAuthenticatedAttributeBytes to embed the OCSP revocation info in the signature. They are also reused and put in the Signature VRI dictionary's OCSP entry as described in the ETSI document. Have I done anything wrong? Thanks.

Barcode and stamper

2009-11-12T00:41:57Z

I have spent the last week following the examples and book and have lots of success creating a barcode in a single cell using writeselectedrows in a writer, and I am able to place a barcode using column text in a stamper….. I have got to adding text using settextmatrix AND barcode in columntext into the same content byte and can do all that I need to do, but then I need to scale the barcode img to get it to the size I want

But I am struggling with adding a table in contentbyte in a stamper. Can get the text in, but not any table cells following that. Am I missing a trick ,or is column text the best way to do it???

Same difference.
Just imagine that Java is pseudo code if you don't like Java.
The same objects and methods are present in C#.

Read chapter 10 of the book to find out more about cell events.
Combine that knowledge with these examples:
http://1t3xt.be/?X0f5 (tip appears when you double click)
http://1t3xt.be/?X0fc (tip appears when on mouse over)
http://1t3xt.be/?X116 (a pop-up appears on mouse over)

Do not just try one example, start with the first,
then go on with the second, end with the third.
There's a learning traject involved.

I do not see a obvious problem not doing this in the pdf reference manual. Acrobat does not seem to care. If you run the attached Java class two nearly identical pdf files will be generated "StandardType1Fonts1.pdf" and "StandardType1Fonts2.pdf". In another step these two files are joined in another file "out.pdf". There seems to be no prefix processing.

Take a look to this file. in the first doc you see (full size), you can see the bookmarks on it

is not a chapter/section approach, is a index of every word used in the document and its count.

i want to do that, also i understand that every bookmark have a javascript associated, that when clicked, it performs a search of that word in the document.

Take a look to this file. in the first doc you see (full size), you can see the bookmarks on it

is not a chapter/section approach, is a index of every word used in the document and its count.

i want to do that, also i understand that every bookmark have a javascript associated, that when clicked, it performs a search of that word in the document.

Read chapter 13 of the iText book:
http://1t3xt.com/docs/book.php

As you are new to iText, reading documentation is mandatory.
You can't just say: "Hello list, I don't know anything about
iText, but I'm sure you're going to tell me everything."

That's not what the mailing list is for...

I said that in some cases PdfWriter could be better. I don't claim to
know and understand the complete design of your application.

So my advise to use document.newPage(); didn't work?
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.lib.itext.general/48052
That's strange.

No, I can't: I don't know all the requirements of your assignment.

I can only compare with projects I have done.
One of these projects involved documents with 30,000 pages:
letters that had to printed and put in envelopes automatically,
using a number of different backgrounds based on the addressee.
In that project I've had plenty of troubles with PdfCopy and
more succes with PdfWriter/PdfImportedPage.

But that was ANOTHER project, with OTHER requirements.
If it's YOUR experience that PdfCopy is a better fit for
YOUR requirements, then YOU shouldn't ask ME for confirmation.

I'm not on the pay-roll of your employer, am I?
I'm TRYING to help by sharing my experience, but you mustn't push it.

Are you sure? I mean: I can't tell only by looking at one object.

> Both files have the same size.

That's good news.
In general, files generated with PdfSmartCopy are much smaller in size
than files generated with PdfCopy when content from different files is
concatenated.

For instance if you have:

file 1 with template X
file 2 with template Y
file 3 with template X

Then template X will occur twice when you concatenate file 1, 2 and 3
using PdfCopy. It will occur only once when you use PdfSmartCopy.

Maybe I didn't read the original question very well, maybe you don't
have situations where the same background is used for different files.

If template X is used on different pages in the same document,
using PdfImportedPage will not cause the XObject to be duplicated.
If template X is used on different pages in different documents,
then the XObject will be duplicated (which isn't what you want).
