I was doing some reading on the adobe website about Acrobat. Apparently it lets you set security options on pdf files, such that individuals cannot modify or print, copy text and images, and password access. Is there plan on adding methods to set these options? -- Kelly Davis kd...@in... Systems Developer Interadnet |

After using drawString to output some text, I calculate the new x-coordinate using the stringWidth method of FontMetrics on the text just outputted. This often proves to be inaccurate, depending on the contents of the string passed to the method. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there another way to find the current output x-coordinate? |

We are printing reports from a database that contains slanted apostrophes in text fields. When reteppdf generates the report, these apostrophes are converted to question marks. Does anyone know of a way to extend the fonts in reteppdf to recognize and print the slanted apostrophes? Thanks |

The content length field of the http header is probably not being set. I don't know how rettep handles that but this is what causes the blank = page to appear in IE.

Hi,
from a mail posted to the iText-mailing-list:
===================================================
I have found a solution to the blank pdf coming back from my servlets in
Internet Explorer.
There are two things that I needed to do.
1. You need to set the content length as in the following code.
res.setContentType("application/pdf");
ByteArrayOutputStream ba = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
generate_pdf(ba);
res.setContentLength(ba.size());
ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
ba.writeTo(out);
out.flush();
2. When you are calling the servlet from the submit button on the HTML Form
you must use the GET method for the action and not the POST method. as in
the following code
In the HTML
<FORM name=MyForm METHOD=GET action="/servlet/myservlet.class">
In the servlet
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
doPost(request, response);
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
}
I found this by just running the servlet from the address bar in Internet
Explorer. This works for IE5.0 , IE5.5sp1, Adobe Acrobat 3.0 , and 4 as
tested.

I'll have to check, but I think PDF is around the 72 point mark, but I do have the feeling it is slightly out. Being based on postscript, it should follow 72 though.

Dear all, I would like to ask if I can write Chinese or Big5 code into the pdf using the API available ( or other language not English ). If yes, how? Besides, one off-topic question, when I use Adobe distiller to print pdf, I can't find the text pattern into the document. I think there is an encryption of the text entered. How can I disable it? Many thanks, Boris |

There are differences between what java.awt.FontMetrics think and what PDF's fonts actually use. The test code highlighted this from almost day one. The theory is sound, but I think that at somepoint (for FontMetrics) we need to supply our own tables to match the PDF fonts wo that it isn't that approximate.

I'd think using FontMetrics for each word, then you'd know the maximum number of words that would fit in a specified width, and wrap at that point. You could extend this to include full-justification by increasing the space width accordingly.

What would be the best method to incorporate a word wrap programmatically? I need to specify regions in which text wraps. Jesse Guardiani |

There's a few example .java files on http://www.retep.org.uk/pdf/ The .jar file should contain just the compiled classes. Finally I've got maidast back online, so I now have a proper internet/development system (linux beats Win98/NT/ME) so I have some updates to make, including rewriting the example (which was really a test than an example).
