Java PDF

I have a MS Word template that gets populated when a user fills out a form in Microsoft Access. There is a "Bookmark" feature in MS Word that allows for one or more exact locations on a document to be marked. Those Bookmarks can then be accessed through Visual Basic and that's how i populate my template. I'm converting my MS Access application to a JSP page and I would like to use a PDF instead of MS Word.
Is feature similar to MS Word "Bookmark" available in PDF, if so can someone please provide java code for placing text in the location of a PDF "Bookmark".

If you want to do anything with PDF you should check out the iText API.

Good luck!

The best of java pdf Viewer ?

What is the best of java pdf Viewer with free license?
Thanks

About the only decent java PDF viewer is Multivalent. It's a bit quirky, but does a fairly good job. Unfortunately, it doesn't currently support printing.
Adobe's java viewer is ancient, not worth wasting your time with.

Suggestions on a Java PDF API?

I need some help finding a suitable PDF API for Java. My web application is comprised of a Java Servlet and a Java ServerPages.
The JSP generates a HTML output which I need to create a PDF from.
I have seen some on iText, but it seems limited and lacking the full PDF spesification, and only seens to support PDF version 1.4
It seems like the really good Java PDF API's cost plenty of money. What I need is an not nescesary Open Source, but free. But Open Source would be nice.

i-Text is an open source programmatic PDF generator. You can also use XSL-FO to render a PDF (download FOP from Apache). Adobe recently open sourced the PDF format, so there are probably even more offerings out now than those.

Anyone know of a Java PDF Library?

Anyone know of a java library that assists in creation of pdf files?

iText (lowagie.com) has been around for a while. I used it several years ago, and it seemed fairly decent then. It seems to be the de facto standard. You create PDF elements via Java code. doc.newParagraph(); paragraph.setText(), etc.
There's also FOP at apache's XML project. That hasn't been around as long, and might not be as mature, and I think there are maybe more pieces to learn, but it has the advantage that you can specify your doc's contents in XML, use XLST to transform it to XSL-FO that includes layout information, and then let the tool turn that XSL-FO doc (which is really just more XML) into PDF and several other formats.

Java PDF services without Livecycle server

I use the Java client API, no workbench processes. All PDF operations, like assembly, reader extensions, form data integration and extraction, require a running Livecycle server.
Is there any option to add a Java jar to my project with the service implementations and as such excluding the Livecycle server?
Direct method calls, no EJB or REST would be perfect.

You will still need Livecycle server

Java PDF Extension

Recently I was charged with adding new features to a barcode system I created.To keep things on the lite and well easy side, I am trying to find a pdf extention that can access the data with in the pdf.
What I am looking for is not much unlike JAI. Since JAI does not play with pdf's I am searching to find an extension that does.
So my question is, does anyone know of an extension that works similar to JAI?

Can I create MS-Word files or PDF files using java

We are developnig a web based application for banks and in this at some point we need to provide reports to the Banks for downloading and printing . Now I do not want to make simple .txt files ,I wan to use some sophsticated file format which look nice.
So is it possible for the server to create files in say .doc format or in say PDF format etc which the banks may download and print.
I am using java servlets and jsp as front end and java classes in middle tier and oracle is my database.

Please try this code:
import god.java.pdf.*;
PDFWriter pw=new PDFWriter(new OutputFile(new String("sample.pdf")));
pw.print("This is your text.");
pw.close();

How to view PDF files strored in a BLOB column

Hi all,
I want to display a PDF file, stored in a BLOB column, in a form or through a JavaBean.
But the problem is more complicated then that. I do not want to retrieve the PDF file in the application server that show it through a browser.
Actually, I do not want users to get the entire file, I just want them to see it or print it.
I want, in fact, to display a "stream" of bytes through Oracle Forms. Not a file.
This one, sounded to be a good solution, but actually not. When the file was too big (multiple pages), the application was blocked until the entire file was loaded. And when you try to print it, it wasn't printed right. The advantage of this solution is that it is open-source so we can add methods to connect to the DB, retrieve the content of the BLOB column and displays it without downloading the file.
Here is a good solution. Really good, files are loaded quickly, the rendering is really good and the file is printed perfectly (as it was printed from Adobe Acrobat). The disadvantage of this solution is that it is not open-source and is really expansive.
As you can see, both solutions uses PJC.
So any help, any idea to solve my problem will be highly appreciated.
Thanks to all of you,
Amine
PS : I am using F&R 11gR2

Not entirely. At least we came to the conclusion it doesn't make (much) sense to block the save option of PDFs if you want to allow printing them
Anyway; there is of course another possibilty: you could always write your own java bean PDF reader; there are plenty of java PDF libraries available:
Open Source PDF Libraries in Java
The easiest way would be to choose one which can open a PDF from a URL and render it; I would retrieve the image via mod_plsql using WPG_DOCLOAD and simply use the PDF library to render the PDF. No tempfiles anyway, and if you don't implement it there is also no save button.
cheers

How to read data from the PDF file

Hi
i need pdf related API details and sample program to retrive the data from the pdf.

Did you even try looking this one up yourself? Google "java pdf" and you get plenty of results. The first one looks pretty promising, and I'm sure there is plenty of documentation with the API.

How to generate pdf report in swing

i want to generate pdf report in my swing based project but i don't know about any idea of this report generating

Hello,

1) Add an upper case letter to the start of each sentence. This helps the reader to scan the text quickly, looking for the important parts. It also helps to dispel the impression that the writer is just lazy.
2) Try to do some research on your own, summarise it and state any conclusions you have reached. Ask a specific question and generally, try not to sound so pathetic.

Is it possible to embed a pdf attachment to a pdf output report?

Hi community,
The question is a little bit complex, cause we do not know if belongs to Reports or tu E-Business-Suite. Our development Team has just created a report for a list of purchased/sold goods, which output is a PDF file.
On the other hand, the customer, is attaching a PDF (an agreement) to the items included in the Sales Orders in the Sales Order Window in the Order Management Responsibility. The customer wants that when they prints the report, the agrreement attached to each item in the sales order, will be printed too.
Is there any way to include the .pdf attachments in a .pdf's output report?
Thanks

1. This is not a OAF question, reports forum would be a better place to post the query.
2. I had the same requirement of merging multiple PDFs in oracle Quoting, what I did was get a third party code from net which joins two PDFs.
So, you need to do this
1. Have a request set, with two conc programs
2. Program one in the request set would generate the PDF report as it is doing now
3. Program two in the request set would go back to the order, see if there is a attachment, if yes, pulls it, calls the third party java PDF merge program, merges both the PDFs and then generate the output, which is a consolidated PDF/
Thanks
