Re: problem with adding content to the last page

Hi :)

My experience of iText is only a few weeks old, but I'd already made conditional new pages so I knew that it might help in your circumstance. The implications depend on what conditions you put into the newPage override. I'd want to understand it fully as well :) It was only a quick workaround in case you needed it done quickly, sorry I was unable to give a more comprehensive solution.

I won't be working with iText for a few weeks unfortunately (Data modelling and mock-up visio screens for the business to do) so won't be able to test anything at present. Try the suggestion about:

"If you add the VerticalPositionMark to the final Paragraph,
it will be on the current page."

... and see if that works :)

Behavior is expected and makes sense, but not desirable in this case.
I am looking for a work-around. Thanks for the pointer to VerticalPositionMark.
I will try, but I don't expect it to succeed. By the time I start using
VerticalPositionMark a call to newPage has already happened, so I assume the
drawing will take place on the new page, will it not?

Is there any way to detect that no free-flowing content has been added
after the call to newPage and "roll-back" that call so that the
absolute-position drawing can happen on the right page?

Matthew,

Partition of data in PDF417 with PDF417_USE_MACRO

2009-11-26T01:20:16Z

Hello, sometime ago I did a PDF417 with PDF417_USE_MACRO macro option, as I cant verify it, I though it was ok, now doing something similar I've a doubt.

What I did sometime ago was adapt and use part of a cut&paste forum code, it did something like (not the real code only to get an idea):

byte[] data;
for(number_of_blocks_of_data) //where each 850bytes for example was a block of data
{
data[]=get_this_part_of_file(block_number);
pdf417_0.setMacroSegmentId(i);
pdf417_0.setText(data);
com.lowagie.text.Image img = pdf417_0.getImage();
document.add(img);
}

In this code I get, for example for a 8.5Kb 10 blocks, and I do setMacro, setText, getImage and add a image to the pdf document for EACH block,and I get a BIG pdf.

So I though it was not correct and did something like:
for(number_of_blocks_of_data) //where each 850bytes for example was a block of data
{
data[]=get_this_part_of_file(block_number);
pdf417_0.setMacroSegmentId(i);
pdf417_0.setText(data);
}
com.lowagie.text.Image img = pdf417_0.getImage();
document.add(img);

The DIFFERENCE is that in the second one in the same example I get 10 block and do setmacro and setText for each block, BUT getImage and add to the document only ONE.

In the first example I almost get a full page of PDF417 matrix, in the second one I get a only line full of PDF417.

Wich one is the correct?

Best regards.

How to know if a table fits on a page?

2009-11-25T10:25:25Z

Hello,

Is there a way to know, before I draw a table to a page of a PDF document, the available vertical space on the page?

The scenario is the following:

I need to add some tables to a PDF document, but there are certaing requirements I need to fulfill while I do that. Before I draw a table to the page (or add rows to the table) I need to know if the entire table will fit in the page or will need to be splitted, in which case I need to call NewPage method of the document and re-draw the table header.

Thank you

Subject: [iText-questions] Overflow Indicator for text fields

I am using a fillable form (acroform) in Acrobat 6.0 and I keep getting the overflow indicator (the plus sign) on the bottom left corner of my text field.

Originally I thought my field wasn’t large enough to accommodate the text but this is not the case. I took the field and stretched it as large as the page itself but I still receive the warning. Max length for field is 300 characters.

In preferences setting I kept it unchecked, but it still shows the indicator on other client’s

Is there any way to hide the overflow indicator?

The fields with NNNNNN are OK, and are the default behavior of iText
when you use:

> AcroFields formFields =
> stamp.getAcroFields();
> formFields.setField(keys, value);

If you use that code for the fields with .00,
then the content WILL BE TRUNCATED TOO, unless the field rectangle
doesn't coincide with the printed rectangle.

So either your form is wrong, or you're not using setField().

Re: How?: Drawing typographers marks using Registration Black

2009-11-25T01:13:03Z

Hi all,

as promised yesterday, I did check your suggestion and it works as needed. I have to thank you both 1T3XTinfo and Leonard Rosenthol for excellent guidance, that answered my question.
Analyzing the resulting PDF in Acrobat Pro (with typographers marks applied after my processing with iText), reports an additional ColorSpace of "separation", a "registration color" of Black, and an alternative colorSpace of Gray - as this is what I used to define my new PdfSpotColor in. Marks appear properly on each separated CMYK plate and also on each different spotColor separated plate, as needed.

Thanks again for all
George

Thank you all, 1T3XT info and Leonard for your nice help sofar.

I will try your last suggestion and report back, hoping it will work as needed.
Also I hope I didn't sound "overloading" while repeating about registration black :)

With great appreciation
George

On p329, spot colors are created with the name "iTextSpotColorGray",
"iTextSpotColorRGB", "iTextSpotColorCMYK",... I don't know, but maybe
you could try one of those lines and replace the "iTextXYZ" name with
"All".

Did you read chapter 2? I quote: "Observe that we didn't add the
PositionedArrow directly to the Document in listing 2.18. In this
example, the arrow refers to the content of a Paragraph, and it's better
to add it to the corresponding object, as is done in lines #2 and #3.
Otherwise a page break could cause the text to be on one page, and the
arrow on the next; which can be your intention, but that's not the case
here."

If you add the VerticalPositionMark with document.add();
the mark will be on the next page.
If you add the VerticalPositionMark to the final Paragraph,
it will be on the current page.

The data is truncated automatically, so please rephrase your question

Re: problem with adding content to the last page

2009-11-24T06:47:38Z

You could possibly override the newPage method to take into account your special case, and not actually create the page if certain criteria are not met. Haven't fiddled much with newPage though.

Hi,

I am running into a strange blocker issue with a very simple requirement and would greatly appreciate any help from the community.

As I am adding the regular (free-flowing) content to the document, iText is creating new pages automatically for me.

As far as I could understand the code, in this case iText is immediately creating the new page in anticipation of me adding more free-floating content (But there is none left). Instead my absolute-positioning content is now drawn on the extra blank page at the end of the document.

Is there any workaround for this?

On p329, spot colors are created with the name "iTextSpotColorGray",
"iTextSpotColorRGB", "iTextSpotColorCMYK",... I don't know, but maybe
you could try one of those lines and replace the "iTextXYZ" name with
"All".

Hi Leonard,

I didn't try anything yet in this context as I am in the middle of a bigger development project, part of which is this iText app.
It will be tremendous help if you give an example of how you create the PdfSpotColor object using the name "All" ?

Thanks again

Using Unicode characters 0f71 - 0fbc

2009-11-24T04:07:49Z

Hi,

I have just read chapters 8 & 9 of iText in Action ed 1 and tried
searching the archives for information on using Tibetan stacking
characters with iText but have yet to find anything. I noticed the
Peace example unfortunately does not correctly stack the characters, I
guess because the setWidth was not used or a ligaturizer does not yet
exist for Tibetan? I am trying to get iText to produce the same output
as putting ངེ into a HTML file (viewed on a Mac or
Vista) using:

BaseFont.createFont("/ARIALUNI.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED)
...
String s = "\u0f44\0f7a";
document.add(new Paragraph(s, font));

Tibetan is both horizontal and vertical but generally regarded as
horizontal where the vertical stacks are 'ligatures' of the vowels,
subjoined and main characters. Can anyone can offer any pointers on
how to solve this?

With Kind Regards,
Leanne

Re: How?: Drawing typographers marks using Registration Black

2009-11-24T02:50:34Z

Hi again,
Thanks for a commented and clear answer.

I am not complaining about anything and I agree that besides buying your ecellent book 20 months ago, that has helped me enormously sofar, I can only wait to buy the second edition, when ready.

My first post on the subject was on May 2008 and Leonard was very kind at the time to provide a rather generic answer (based on the PDF reference), which although correct, couldn't be applied. As I was rather academically interested at that time, I let it pass. Now I had to decide if I could use iText (as is) to solve a real problem, or abide by the limitations of my solution.

Thank you for clearing this out (even as a negative - cant be done manner).
I believe iText is a great product sofar and maybe some future edition extends functionality in this multicolor offset printing realm along with its widening market acceptance. Afterall it's all about PDF :)

Thanks Bruno for iText
George

P.S. I think the only way to bypass the limitation as it stands, is to know before hand the names of all the spot colors besides CMYK, in the print job. This way I could use these colorants names in setColorStroke(PdfSpotColor, tint) and draw my registration marks once for C=1,M=1,Y=1,K=1 and one for each spot color. What do you think?

I don't know because I never had to do this in a project.

Everything that is offered for free in iText was written because
somebody needed it in a project (and spent time and/or money on it).
Some part of what is offered for free was written for fun.

I should look that up in the PDF Reference, but I don't have any time to
do that.

> (I hope this helps you understand the nature of my question)

I don't have the time to do the needed research to understand your
question. Please understand that you're using iText for free and that
your asking something that falls outside of the scope of what can be
offered for free.

problem with adding content to the last page

2009-11-24T02:47:45Z

Hi,

I am running into a strange blocker issue with a very simple requirement and would greatly appreciate any help from the community.

I need to add various elements (text, images, SVGs, etc …) using absolute positioning to the LAST PAGE of the pdf document that I am generating. As I am adding the regular (free-flowing) content to the document, iText is creating new pages automatically for me. As soon I am done with the free-floating content, I find myself on the last page and I am able to add all the special (absolute-positioning) elements that I need to add to the last page.

It all works as described except for a very special case when the free-floating content fits PERFECTLY onto the last page. As far as I could understand the code, in this case iText is immediately creating the new page in anticipation of me adding more free-floating content (But there is none left). Instead my absolute-positioning content is now drawn on the extra blank page at the end of the document.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks a lot in advance for any hints/pointers

Tony.

I should look that up in the PDF Reference, but I don't have any time to
do that.

I don't have the time to do the needed research to understand your
question. Please understand that you're using iText for free and that
your asking something that falls outside of the scope of what can be

Get the /AcroForm from the root.
Parse the tree with the fields,
replace the /T value of the field you want to change.

If this is your first time using iText:
ask a professional to do it for you.

Chapter 18 of "iText in Action - first edition" can help you understand
what the first three lines of my answer mean. You get the ebook of the
first edition for free if you purchase the MEAP version of the second
edition: http://1t3xt.com/docs/book.php )
