And we are still waiting for you to learn [How to Ask Questions the Smart Way|http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html] .
if you dont have the answer ..just leave it..
before suggesting others...
i think you need to check your manner first.If you had followed the link, you would have seen that the first rule under "When You Ask" is "Choose your forum carefully" and includes the following advice:
Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
post your question to a forum where it's off topic
The first step, therefore, is to find the right forum. Again, Google and other Web-searching methods are your friend. Use them to find the project webpage most closely associated with the hardware or software giving you difficulties. Usually it will have links to a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) list, and to project mailing lists and their archives. These mailing lists are the final places to go for help, if your own efforts (including reading those FAQs you found) do not find you a solution. The project page may also describe a bug-reporting procedure, or have a link to one; if so, follow it.Clearly you didn't read the link before writing it off as, um, whatever you wrote it off as. I'd recommend reading the manual before posting again.

Draw polygon in applet

HI,
I want to be able to draw polygon using java applet. I have code to draw poly in an applet but I am wondering if the java tool can draw directly on html image not on image inside of applet.
Please help
Ying

You can generate a gif which is displayed inside a HTML screen.
Note: HTML does not support polygon drawing so you cannot write HTML to draw a polygon. Unless you want a rectangle (use a table :)

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?

Also an honorable way to make money IMO.I was using iText before 2004 when the first edition of the book came out ( 4 years or so after the library was first introduced) and it was hard work. PDF is a very complex document format and just using the Javadoc does not really get you anywhere. There are many 'gotchas' in iText and most of the iText tutorials cover only the very basics and pretty much none of the 'gochas'. The book starts off with very simple examples that could be constructed from the Javadoc but then it does move on to the more complex issues. Worth every penny.

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.

hi,
I had used custom adapter module for creating the PDF file.
you have to use java mapping if you want to create pdf without using adapter module.
You need to import iText library available at http://itextpdf.com/.

Display Pdf report on Frame using iText library

Hi,
I am able to generate pdf reports using iText library. but i want to display these generated pdf into frame. can u please help for this.
this is web based application. Through servlet i am generating the pdf report using iText library. I am waiting for your reply ....

Does this PDF file absolutely need to be displayed within a JFrame? You say you are generating this document on the server side, so if this is a web application, what I might do is place the generated document on directory accessible through http, then on the client browser side open a pop-up browser window with a URL to the PDF document.
Most browsers have a PDF viewer plugin of some kind.
If this is a swing application then you can do the same thing but instead of redirecting the browser to the PDF file you can use iText to convert the PDF document to an RTF document and use an RTFEditorKit within a JEditorPane to display the same document in RTF format.

Hi,
I am facing the same problem. Please help me out. I just want to read a PDF file as bytes from one location and write it as another pdf file in some other location with a diolog box prompting to open or save in the location where we want.
I executed the following code:
try{
File report =new File(location);
BufferedInputStream in=new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(report));
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + report.getName());
OutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
int readlen;
byte buffer[] = new byte[ 256 ];
while( (readlen = in.read( buffer )) != -1 )
outs.write( buffer, 0, readlen );
outs.flush();
outs.close();
in.close();
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
} catch (FileNotFoundException fileNotFoundException) {
PrintWriter out= response.getWriter();
out.print("<center>"+PxDSLUtils.getApplicationProperty("label.error.CTM_E017")+"</center>");
Though it prompts with open, save dialog box when i try to open directly or when i save it some where locally and then open it i am getting the following message " File is repaired ot damaged.Operation failed." Any idea about what can be done??? Its very urgent.Please suggest.
I am not convetin to string just reading and writng as bytes itself.
Thanks in advance,
Mani

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,

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.
