Generating PDF files in today’s enterprise applications is quite common. Doing this with Java is not an easy task as Java does not gives default api’s to handle PDF files. No worries, iText jar is for you. IText is a free Java-PDF library that allows you to generate PDF files on the fly ( dynamically). IText is an ideal library for developers looking to enhance web- and other applications with dynamic PDF document generation and/or manipulation. IText is not an end-user tool.

Typically you won’t use it on your Desktop as you would use Acrobat or any other PDF application. Rather, you’ll build iText into your own applications so that you can automate the PDF creation and manipulation process. 11 January, 2010, 16:28 my source code. 12 January, 2010, 14:25 @Semere: I am not sure if I know what the error is, but try putting response.setContent(“application/pdf”); as the first line.

I create PDF using PDF Template for PDF AcroForm. I fill all fields like: form.setField(”field1″, “value”); (etc.). And everything it’s OK. But I also want to set text (in TextField) which size is greater than this TextField size.

How can I dynamically resize TextField (after/before setField) to fit text? (I want to do this without changing text font size.

I tried with something like Mutli-line but when there was more text to fit then font size was smaller.). 26 January, 2010, 17:39 Hi! First I would like to say that I appreciate your work a lot! I have read and learnt a lot. But I have one problem that I can’t figure out (probably beacause I am a newbie in itext).

I want to merge two pdf-files. But, I want the order to be specific when merging the two documents. In this case I would like it to be: page 1, doc A page 1, doc B page 2, doc A page 2, doc B etc etc Could you please help me? I really need the helping hand of an expert. 11 March, 2010, 17:03 Hi, We presently use an in-house report engine (based on Apache FOP) to generate reports from web applications. We are considering switching our application to use iText.

After reading through over the internet, I understand that iText doesn’t use XSL-FO instead it uses something called iText-xml. We use report templates to generate reports in PDF and XLS format. I have few questions: 1. Though iText is used to generate PDF reports, is it possible to generate reports in XLS (excel) format?

Instead of generating reports using code, can we use template (xml files) like feature (possibly containing FO tags) to generate PDF using iText? Information regarding XML2PDF and templates will be helpful. Thanks in advance. 12 January, 2011, 15:11 this is the error i am getting pls help me D: Java Notesjava GeneratePDF Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: GeneratePDF Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: GeneratePDF at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) Could not find the main class: GeneratePDF.

Does iText provide/support any kind of styling sheet. What I mean is like, in Apache FOP, the data is represented in the XML and the formatting is recorded in the XSL and then we need to pass the XML and XSL to the FOP engine which in turn converts the data in XML using the formatting psecified in the XSL to create a PDF. Does iText support something like this or we have to program the whole formatting in the Java code itself, meaning specifying the table/cell(its dimensions etc.), paragraph(its font, color etc.)?

Any comment is appreciated. 24 February, 2012, 10:53 hi, I was pretty well in generating PDF. But now i have a scenario of generating PDF dynamically by the values coming as input.

So i used two documents for generating. Ikept the 1st document as static and whenever my condition changes, i ll close my 1st document and i opened a new document and populate it with remaining rows everything is proper. No exceptions, no errors.

I triple checked whether both the documents are closed. But then when i am trying to open the documents created, its saying that, this PDF is alredy used by an application(my eclipse) and i am not able to open it Please suggest any solution for this problem. This makes me to itch my head. 15 May, 2013, 6:48 How to resolve the below error Please let me know.

While generating PDF from HTML, I am facing an issue.

It’s like there are some bulletpoints in the HTML at different-different locations. Generated HTML is like below: In regard to a 'zero lot line' situation, extreme care should be exercised in connection with: the right of legal access to and from the property. The possible existence of encroachments of the sides of the buildings or structures upon the common areas. In regard to a 'zero lot line' situation, extreme care should be exercised in connection with: the right of legal access to and from the property. The possible existence of encroachments of the sides of the buildings or structures upon the common areas. If you see the tag is two times. So I tried using JSOUP and did a doc.select(“ul li”), and I am able to generate the Bullets in PDF.

But it happens only one time. I mean if the bullets are at multiple locations in the HTML and I do a document.add(list). It doesn’t generate the complete PDF. Please lemme know if I’m missing anything.
