How to create pdf files dynamically using Java

I am new to java world. I got a task of generating dynamic pdf files using Java. I have tried with some third party APIs for generating pdf. But most of them are not so feasable. I am looking for source code for one such APIs so that I can build my custom requirements over it.
Thanks

Create pdf file dynamically using XML

Hi Experts,
I have a Webdynpro application where I want to print the data for 'N' number of employees using adobe interactive forms. I have designed the form for one employee. I want to use the same format for the rest of the employees. Can any body please guide me how to go about this.
Regards,
Abdullah

In your context , create a node MasterNode of cardinality 1...1 and singleton set to true. Bind this to the dataSource property of the InteractiveFormElement.
Inside this MasterNode create a node Data of cardinality 0...n and singleton set to false. Keep all of your payslip attributes inside this node.
In your interactive form element , in the Body Page create a subform of Type Flow Content and Flow Direction Table .Check the chechbox for Allow Page Breaks within Context . Inside this subform create another subform of Type Flow Content and Flow Direction Western Text . Uncheck the checkbox for Allow Page Breaks within Context . Put all of your pay slip UI elements inside this subform and bind them with the attributes under the node Data. Also tick the property of the inner subform under the section Object->Subform that says Repeat Subform for each Data Item
In your view controller coding area , create an element of the node Data for each employee record and populate it with values for the particular employee .
Add all of the elements that you created into an ArrayList and bind this ArrayList to the node Data. Now your form is ready for n number of employees.
Put this sort of coding in your view controller coding:
IDataElement objData = null;
ArrayList arlData = null;
int intNumberOfEmployees=0;
try
 arlData = new ArrayList();
 intNumberOfEmployees = //Get size of your model node that returns employee info
 if(intNumberOfEmployees>0)
 for(int i=0;i<intNumberOfEmployees;i++)
 objData = wdContext.createDataElement();
 objData.setName("//Value fetched from backend here");//Eg:wdContext.nodeEmployeeInfo.getEmployeeInfoElementAt(i).getname()
 //Similarly set all of the values
 arlData.add(objData);
 wdContext.nodeData.bind(arlData);

How to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports

I would like to know how to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports.
Thanks,

Please make your question more clear . Also mention the reports version.
1) If you are runnning reports in Unix, you can give
.... destype=file desformat=pdf desname=<filename>
in command line
Please refer docs below.
2) If by your question you mean
"My reports server is running in Windows but I want to ftp my files to Unix after creating it"
then the answer is that you can use pluggable destination "ftp"
.... destype=ftp desformat=pdf desname=<ftp url>
Pluggable destinations download

Hi, i am currently working on a research and i have some problems here.
1) how to create a packet by using java programming ?
2) How can i set the packet's information (e.g: packet's length, size of its header, etc) by using java?
I am currently in a midst of this now and i hope that someone is willing to correspond to my questions and help me out of it.
Thank you!

I wan to create a customize packet where the user can
define the header size, the packet's length etc. in

How to create pdf files with text field data

how to create pdf files with text field data

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?

Opening a pdf file stream using java

I am developing a web app using jsp that needs to dynamically create xml files, then using fop I convert those files into pdf's.
I would need to be able to open multiple pdf files in a row...
Here's what I have so far....this will only open the 1st file...
I don't need to open the pdf files in a web browser, it can be done in acrobat reader if needs be...
do
if ( ( ( startRec * cache) + 1 ) <= ( min( ( startRec + 1 ) * cache, recCount ) ) )
System.out.println( ( startRec * cache ) + 1 + "-" + min( ( startRec + 1 ) * cache, recCount ) );
String xmlString = xmlStart;
for ( int n=( startRec * cache ); n<min( ( startRec + 1 ) * cache, recCount ); n++ )
ViewFileDetailsBean viewBean = (ViewFileDetailsBean)listOfViewFileDetailsBean.get(n);
xmlString = xmlString + viewBean.getxMLString();
xmlString = xmlString + "/t</data>\n"; // THIS FINISHES THE XML
pdfBean.makePDF( xmlString );
response.setContentLength( pdfBean.getOutput().length );
response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
response.getOutputStream().write( pdfBean.getOutput() );
response.getOutputStream().flush();
startRec++;
}while ( startRec <= ( recCount / cache ) );
Thanks,
GoldenEye4ever

I forgot to say,
We will not have write access to the server, also, the higher-ups would like to view pdf files.. rather than extracting a zip file containing pdf files...lol
Basically, the xml file that I was initally creating was getting far too large for java to handle, 190,000 records +,
so i am breaking them down to perhaps 10,000 record long xml files, to be converted to pdf
Thanks for your fast reply

How to create PDF files in Arabic?

Hello,
I work with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional to create PDF files, but I can not insert Arabic characters, could you help me please?
Thank you!
(see the attached file)

You need to use Arabic edition of Adobe Acrobat Pro-ME, which allows you to type, view, copy paste Arabic within PDF. To create Arabic PDF you could use a program like Adobe InDesign CS4-ME, and export to PDF in one step! Once the Arabic PDF is created, you can share with anyone, and they can open, view Arabic PDF. If you create PDF correctly, they can type Arabic within the PDF using a free Acrobat ME Reader. Many many options, see http://www.fontworld.com/me/acrobatme.html

HOW TO CREATE PDF FILES FROM AUTOCAD 12
