Printing RTF files in Java

Hi,
I have a java application (No GUI) that needs to print an RTF file. Could any one provide me links to tutorial/sample codes for doing this?
Thanks a lot,
Vaishali

Look at http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2002_12/online/print_kgauthier_12_10_02/default_pf.aspx. They provide an utility class which basically lets you do this in 1 line, by creating a JEditorPane with your document and passing it to a method there.

Print RTF file within app

Hi
Is it possible to print an rtf file from within java app without actually viewing the file on screen? I don`t want to display the file in a jtextpane or jeditorpane. Simply want to print the file like you can with a straight text file.
Or, is there are a command line switch to print a rtf file? through ms word?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kelly

printing RTF files from java is amazingly hard. if not impossible.
(just what you wanted to hear)
basically, rtf support in java is pathetic.
in my case, i had to create an actual RTF file in ms word and save it.
i then opened it in notepad so that i could see all the control codes.
then i cut and pasted each section of the document template so that each bit was a string constant in java. the bits that i wanted to add i generated in code the normal way.
then i stuck all the bits back together again in one string and sent that off to a data stream. (to answer your question, it never went to the screen, just to the data stream)
its a bloody stupid way of doing rtf, but it was the only way to get it to work without having to go through and figure and implement out all the rtf codes yourself.

Hi,
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I'm trying to create an RTF file from data in a database, so I have no need to use JTextPanel or any GUI components. I've been trying to use the RTFEditorkit with a DefaultStyledDocument, but can only manage to insert one line into the document(!) Does anyone have any suggestions or examples that would explain how to do this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

How to print PDF files using java print API

Hi,
I was goign throw lot of discusion and reading lot of forums related to print pdf files using java api. but nothing seems to be working for me. Can any one tell me how to print pdf files using java api.
Thanks in advance

Mike,
Can't seem to get hold of the example described in your reply below. If you could let us have the URL to get then it would be great.
My GUI application creates a pdf document which I need to print. I want to achieve this using the standard Java class PrinterJob (no 3rd party APIs I'm afraid, commercial restraints etc ..). I had a stab at it using the following code. When executed I get the pretty printer dialog then when I click ok to print, nothing happens!
boolean showPrintDialog=true;
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob ();
printJob.setJobName ("Contract.pdf");
try {
if (showPrintDialog) {
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
printJob.print();
else
printJob.print ();
} catch (Exception PrintException) {
PrintException.printStackTrace();
Thank you and a happy new year.
Cheers,
Chris

Reading an RTF file in Java

Hi,
Can someone tell me how can we read the data from an .rtf files like we do with text files in Java.
I have seen solutions using Swing rtfeditor etc.. But I just need to read the data, I do not want to open rtf page.
Any help would be appreciated.
KK

If you are not to "read" but to obtain bytes then you can modify this:
//try{
InputStream stream = new FileInputStream("cc.rtf");//file name is arbitrary
                                                                         //or BufferedInputStream can be used
   int n=0;
while((n=stream.read())!=-1){
            System.out.print(Integer.toString(n));
            System.out.print(" ");
    System.out.println();
   if(stream!=null) stream.close();
//   catch(IOException ioe){
//       throw ioe;
// }

How to convert .doc file into .rtf file in Java?

Hello All,
I want to convert doc file into rtf format in java and for the same i am not getting any help so pls suggest some solution for that.
Thanks and Regards
only1Vinay

MS-Word formats (DOC) are notorious for not being standardized from one version to another, so what ever you get will be version specific. If you must do the conversion, I suggest you do a MS-Script in Word to do it or one of the .Net languages. As stated the Word format from version to version is not standardized.

Merging Word (RTF) files in java

Hey,
I have a requirement to merge several word (or rft) files in java. The files are stored as blobs on the database. I had a look at http://poi.apache.org/hwpf/docoverview.html but that project seems to be parked at the moment. Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks

I agree its a bad idea but i was asked to look into
its possibility.
Previously it wasn't a problem as it was always one
word file that was required
for editing through the browser by the user but now
they want to basically build a 'master doc' based on
a bunch of business rules i.e. chose a subset of all
their templates based on business rules at runtime.
I pitched the idea of generating XSL:FO and adding
conditionals around the various templates and then
generating RTF from this. Storing the XSL:FO on the
db but they didn't like that as they want to be able
to add and modify new templates and then store these
directly on the DB?!?!?!The way to address this is to find out what the real concerns are. Almost all stupid requirements are based upon some concern that is the result of a combination of fear and ignorance.
So I would suggest you find out what the real concern is and address that specifically in your better design.
Because the reality is that your solution is actually workable. Whereas the one you are being pushed towards will be very difficult and I fear result in an unmaintable mess.

Printing TXT files with java

Hi !!
I�m trying to send the content of a .txt file to the default printer whith the next code; I read the file, and this method accept a String with the content I must print.
// I�ve read the code in this forum, and I only made little changes....
public void PrintFileString(String fileContent){
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
// getting PrintService
PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
if (service != null){
System.out.println("Default Printer: " + service.getName());
// Creating DocPrintJob
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
try{
// String to InputStream
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(fichero.getBytes());
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(bais,flavor,null);
job.print(doc,aset);
catch(Exception a){
System.out.println(a + "error");
I can print, in the default printer, but I need to change properties of printed document, like orientation, margins, number of copies, etc....
Can I do it ??
Really Thanks

Please, help !!!
I need to print a file in landscape mode.
My code is:
public class BasicPrint {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Open the file
            InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(
                new FileInputStream("c:\\diego.txt"));
            // Find the default service
            DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
            PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
            // put landscape mode
            PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
            aset.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
            // Create the print job
            DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
            Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(is, flavor, null);
            try {
          job.print(doc, aset);
         } catch (PrintException e1) {
          e1.printStackTrace();
            // It is now safe to close the input stream
            is.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
}The text always is printed in the default orientation (portrait)
I�ve tried with an image file (gif) changing the lines
// Open the file
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(
                new FileInputStream("c:\\diego.txt"));
// Find the default service
            DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;by
// Open the file
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(
                new FileInputStream("c:\\image.gif"));
// Find the default service
            DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.GIF;and works fine !!!
but not with text. Why ???
The line
aset.add(new Copies(2));
to print 2 copies, don�t work.
Please, some help ???
