Adding text to PDF using iText instead of CFPDF

Hi,
I know this may seem a bit off topic being posted here but i'm asking this board since i'm a complete JAVA noob and i figure some of you CF folk might have had to do this before.
Anyway, about my question...i'm already adding a watermark image to a pdf using iText (CF8) thanks to the help of fellow poster (=cfSearching=). What i'm looking for is the best way to go about adding some text to this same pdf. I need to add 4 lines of text (with specific font and size) and center it underneath the added image. Does anyone have a site they could point me to as to how to add formatted text and how to get the width of that text so as to align it correctly? I've search Google and looked at a lot of JAVA code but being a JAVA noob it's tough to figure out exactly which libs and methods can be used to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Michael

Hi again!
Well, the merged image is an idea but i'd rather have it be actual text so that it is at least copy/paste-able if viewed on a computer.
The four lines of text are dynamic (company name, broker name, phone number, email address) and limited to 40 characters. Right now they are being added via CFPDF and DDX and use the following code in the DDX file to add it to the PDF.
<PDF result="DestinationFile">
 <PDF source="SourceFile">
 <Watermark
 rotation="0"
 opacity="100%"
 horizontalAnchor="#horzAnchor#"
 horizontalOffset="#horzOffset#"
 verticalAnchor="#vertAnchor#"
 verticalOffset="#vertOffset#"
 alternation="OddPages"
 >
 <StyledText text-align="center">
 #left(dCompany,maxlinechars)#
 #left(dName,maxlinechars)#
 #left(dPhone,maxlinechars)#
 #left(dEmail,maxlinechars)#
 </StyledText>
 </Watermark>
 </PDF>
</PDF>
Then using the created pdf from above, i use a slightly modified version of the cfscript code ( that uses iText) you provided me previously to add a logo image just above this text. The only changes i made to it were resizing of the image and adding where to place it. Here is that code:
<cfscript>
 fullPathToInputFile = "#tempdestfilepath#";
 writeoutput(" fullPathToInputFile=#fullPathToInputFile#");
 fullPathToWatermark = osFile("#request.logofilepath##qord.userlogo_file#",request.os);
 writeoutput(" fullPathToWatermark=#fullPathToWatermark#");
 fullPathToOutputFile = "#destfilepath#";
 writeoutput(" fullPathToOutputFile=#fullPathToOutputFile#");
 ppi = 72; // points per inch
 watermark_x = ceiling(#qord.pdftemplate_logo_x# * ppi); // from bottom left corder of pdf
 watermark_y = ceiling(#qord.pdftemplate_logo_y# * ppi); // from bottom left corder of pdf
 fh = ceiling(0.75 * ppi);
 fw = ceiling(1.75 * ppi);
 if( not fileexists(fullPathToInputFile) )
 savedErrorMessage = savedErrorMessage & "<li>Input file pdf for logo add does not exist #fullPathToInputFile#</li>";
 else
 try {
 // create PdfReader instance to read in source pdf
 pdfReader = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader").init(fullPathToInputFile);
 totalPages = pdfReader.getNumberOfPages();
 // create PdfStamper instance to create new watermarked file
 outStream = createObject("java", "java.io.FileOutputStream").init(fullPathToOutputFile);
 pdfStamper = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper").init(pdfReader, outStream);
 // Read in the watermark image
 img = createObject("java", "com.lowagie.text.Image").getInstance(fullPathToWatermark);
 w = img.scaledWidth();
 h = img.scaledHeight();
 //$is[0] = w
 //$is[1] = h
 if( w >= h )
 orientation = 0;
 else
 orientation = 1;
 fw = max_h;
 fh = max_w;
 if ( w > fw || h > fh )
 if( ( w - fw ) >= ( h - fh ) )
 iw = fw;
 ih = ( fw / w ) * h;
 else
 ih = fh;
 iw = ( ih / h ) * w;
 t = 1;
 else
 iw = w;
 ih = h;
 t = 2;
 // adding content to each page
 i = 0;
 //while (i LT totalPages) {
 i = i + 1;
 content = pdfStamper.getOverContent( javacast("int", i) );
 img.setAbsolutePosition(javacast("float", watermark_x), javacast("float", watermark_y));
 if(t==1)
 img.scaleAbsoluteWidth( javacast("float", iw) );
 img.scaleAbsoluteHeight( javacast("float", ih) );
 content.addImage(img);
 WriteOutput("Watermarked page "& i &" ");
 //WriteOutput("Finished!");
 catch (java.lang.Exception e) {
 savedErrorMessage = savedErrorMessage & "<li>#e#</li>";
 // closing PdfStamper will generate the new PDF file
 if (IsDefined("pdfStamper")) {
 pdfStamper.close();
 if (IsDefined("outStream")) {
 outStream.close();
</cfscript>
The above code resized the image to a certain width/height if needed and adds it to the pdf.
I just figured they might be a way to tap into one of the java objects that would allow adding the text. Ideally, adding the text and image to some sort of 'bounding box' that would allow centering of the image and text in relation to that bounding box. Or if there is no way to add to a bounding box, a way to get the horizontal length of the longest line of text so i could calculate a common centerline for the image and text.
I've attached the following pdf to show how the image and text would look together. This example is not to scale but a similar image and text would be added to a separate pdf.
Thanks for you help.

Problem while generating PDF using iText

Hi:
I have generated PDF using iText, where i have written all code in sequential flow.
<code>
com.lowagie.text.Document document = new com.lowagie.text.Document(PageSize.A4, 55, 5, 20, 20);
OutputStream outputstream = response.getOutputStream();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document,outputstream);
</code>
And i have added all fields in the document.
But my problem is how to display total pagecount on all pages e.g.1\20 (because i have generated PDF sequentially)
Also i want to add watermark on all pages.
So, can any body help me to solve this problem?
Thank You,
Balaji

Hi Recardo,
Thanks for response.
Earlier we faced issue of 'NPE', while adding markups and it was show stopper for that we had to give this fix and now few markups are missing.
With the reference to the SR, SR 3-10406750311 : During creating Annotation dimensions getting Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullP we were asked to implement Listeners.
Please let us know if we can have any further fix to our current code.
Current SR:

We have uploaded Markups and log files that have requested by Michel.

How to write special characters in PDF using iText

How to write special characters encoded with UTF-8 in PDF using iText.
Regards,
Pandharinath.

I don't know what your problem is but that's almost certainly the wrong question to ask about it. Java (including iText) uses only Unicode characters. (You may consider some of them to be "special" if you like but Unicode doesn't.) And when it does that, they aren't encoded in UTF-8 or any other encoding.
So can you describe your problem? That question doesn't make sense.

Creating PDF using ITEXT API's - error

Hi,
In my WebDynpro Application I want to generate a PDF (using ITEXT API's) out of the data retrieved from back end system .
I used this source code.
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
document.open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
PdfPCell cell;
cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("ONE"));
table.addCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("TWO"));
table.addCell(cell);
document.add(table);
document.close();
byte[] b = new byte[100 * 1024];
b = document.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
IWDCachedWebResource pdfRes = WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(b, WDWebResourceType.PDF, WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,      wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),"FileNameHelloText"));
I have used Window Manager to create a external window with the URL from pdfRes.getUrl() method.
After execution i get a pop up window with out PDF document.
Please let me know your thoughts & solutions to the above mentioned problem.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
The problem is that when I keep the logo as a watermark, the pdf is not adjusting itself to include the logo as header.
But if I add a header text via Tools -> Headers and Footers, the pdf is adjusting itself so that the header text is at the beginning , not overlapping with the contents of pdf.
But while using logo as watermark, some times overlapping of the pdf contents and logo is happening.
Is there any way to add a logo in the Header and Footer via the option in Tools -> Headers and Footers
Thanks,
Vidhya

Mailto link in PDF uses wrong App on Windows 2008R2

Hello,
I have Adobe Reader X installed on Windows 2008R2 Terminal Server. Our Standard Mail App is Lotus Notes. This is configured as system wide mail app and IExplorer uses it if I click on a mailto-Link.
If I click on a mailto-Link in Adobe Reader our old Mail App is started. But this app is surely not configured as app for mailto in the whole system.
How can I change the behaviour of Adobe Reader and force it to use systems default Mail App?
Regards, Torsten

It has to be MAPI enabled. I googled "Lotus Notes mapi enabled" and this was the first result:

Adding Page Number in PDF using VBA

Hi,
I need to add page numbers to around 8000 PDF files via excel VBA. I would need to do this every month. I am new to VBA coding but I can manage to write a decent code. It would be great if any one of you would share a VBA code that would allow me to add page numbers to PDF files. I have Adobe professional 6.0.
This is kind URGENT. All help will be welcome !!!
Thanks

Hi Vivek,
Could you please test the following solutions to resolve the issue.
Solution1:
To display the page numbers from the first according to the section details i.e based on the number of sections in a report.
example: If a report has3 sctions and first section comes in 3 pages,2nd section comes in 4 pages and 3rd section in 2 pages, then total number of pages is9. Then the display of page numbers should be [page number of section in(1,2or3)/total number of pages in all the sections]
Insert a cell within a page and insert the formula
=Concatenation("Page"" " ,PageInSection(1)" ")
If the above doesnu2019t works then please try the following solution.
Solution2:
--Create a report with section.
--Format the Section to "Start on a new page"
--Apply Page Layout to the report
--Insert a Cell and apply function PageInSection()
I hope this will help you.
Regards,
Deepti Bajpai

Using iText to generate a digital signature that can be signed in Adobe Reader

I am able to create a digital signature in a pdf using iText. Adobe Reader does not allow that digital signature to be signed. Everything I have been reading suggests that I need to enabe Reader Usage Rights, but that requires using Adobe Pro. I was hoping that I would only need Adobe Reader inorder to digitally sign the pdf, is that possible?

Not without the required rights...
