	Re: set.Annotation by John Renfrew :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Reason I have asked the question is that I HAVE the book. But it is out of date, compared to code snippets on the website. There is no explanation of whether you can or can not do the thing that works with Annotation in stamper using PdfAnnotation. If you woldd be so kind as to point me to the page then I can surely read it myself and not trouble you any more..... john renfrew Right Way Up Office +44 1675 475341 Fax +44 1675 475342 Mobile +44 7767 443992 -----Original Message----- From: 1T3XT info [mailto:info@...] Sent: 31 October 2009 11:22 To: Post all your questions about iText here Subject: Re: [iText-questions] set.Annotation John Renfrew wrote: > Annotation annot = new Annotation(35, 60, > 65, 80, new URL("mailto:john@..."))

You're trying to add an Annotation to PdfStamper. PdfStamper is NOT a Document object, it's a special type of writer. Therefore you need to create a PdfAnnotation, NOT an Annotation.

That's off-topic on the iText list. It's common knowledge that you can add the subject to a mailto: link like this: "mailto:john@...?subject=stuff" Also, I see that you're breaking the #1 rule: you've been sending me mail privately in spite of: http://1t3xt.com/about/contact.php Only paying customers can by-pass the mailing-list. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

	Re: set.Annotation by 1T3XT info :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I saw too late that the OP went off-list. This was my answer, accidentally sent to the OP personally.

But am I getting warmer???? Your first reflex should be to look at the API docs: http://1t3xt.info/api/com/lowagie/text/pdf/PdfAnnotation.html#createLink%28com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter,%20com.lowagie.text.Rectangle,%20com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfName,%20java.lang.String%29 You're using a createLink() method that creates a link to a "named destination". Is "mailto:john@..." a named destination? No, it isn't! So that's not going to work. You should use something like this to create the PdfAnnotation: PdfAnnotation link = PdfAnnotation.createLink(writer, new Rectangle(35,60,30,20), PdfAnnotation.HIGHLIGHT_NONE, new PdfAction("mailto:john@...")); There are other ways to do it, but this works. Furthermore, you're still not telling the stamper on which page you want to add the annotation. You have something like: stamper.addAnnotation(link); But that doesn't even compile! It should be: stamper.addAnnotation(link, 1); In attachment you can find a working example. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import com.lowagie.text.Document; import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException; import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph; import com.lowagie.text.Rectangle; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfAction; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfAnnotation; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper; import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter; public class AddLink { /** * Creates a PDF file: hello.pdf * @param args no arguments needed */ public static void main(String[] args) throws DocumentException, IOException { ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); Document document = new Document(); PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos); document.open(); document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World!")); document.close(); PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(baos.toByteArray()); PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream("test.pdf")); PdfWriter writer = stamper.getWriter(); PdfAnnotation link = PdfAnnotation.createLink(writer, new Rectangle(35,60,30,20), PdfAnnotation.HIGHLIGHT_NONE, new PdfAction("mailto:john@...?subject=stuff")); stamper.addAnnotation(link, 1); stamper.close(); } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
