pdf-generation

I am using the following code to stream a pdf to the browser: header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Pragma: public"); header("Content-type:application/pdf"); header("Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=file.pdf"); echo $pdf; Works fine, except (in Chrome anyhow) it just saves the file "file.pdf" - it does not prompt a Save As dialog so I can rename the file, if I choose. I suspect this may be one of those browser-dependent things, but is it possible to force a Save As dialog with the php headers when streaming a pdf for download? Thanks (in advance)

I'm looking for a Java library that will can take a Image (PNG) and create a PDF. Or Create the PDF directly from a java panel that has been drawn. You can achieve this using Gnostice PDFOne for Java ( http://www.gnostice.com/PDFOne_Java.asp ). Find below the code snippet that creates a PDF document from a PNG image. PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument(); // Read the image as BufferedImage object BufferedImage bufImg = ImageIO.read(new File( "SampleImage.PNG")); // Create PdfImage object using the above BufferedImage object PdfImage img = PdfImage.create(bufImg); // Create a PdfPage of image

I have a source pdf which I am modifying by adding text objects. I am using "Incremental Updates" which is mentioned in the PDF specification. But while adding text objects using this method I am making some mistakes due to which the pdf doesn't render properly in Adobe Reader 11. When the pdf is opened and I double-click on it, the added text objects get deleted. I figured out that this is due to text annotation. Now I want to know how a new text object can be added using incremental update? How do the Contents and RC of a free text annotation have to be to maintained? Also is it possible to

Is there PL/SQL package or engine available which would enable the creation of PDF reports from stored procedures? If your looking for a freeware or open source package, their is this. I've not used it, but it has good reviews. lPL_FPDF If you have a budget, then this, which enterprise class product, meaning excellent documentation, is available. plpdf . The commercial package is written in native Pl/SQL so will be very easy to use. The open source package I don't know. If your running in an Oracle environment, with any of the reports servers, then all of then support PDF being emitted both to

When I use Acrobat Distiller (v.9.1.3), it seems that I cannot embed all fonts -- at least not in the way I want to (no subsetting). One example is Wingdings (TrueType). I activated the tickboxes and settings to "Always embed" and "No subsetting" . If I check in a text editor the *.joboptions file that I saved as my custom Distiller profile it clearly says: /EmbedAllFonts true /EmbedOpenType true /MaxSubsetPct 1 /SubsetFonts false Some fonts Distiller does embed fully (as requested by me), others not. If I change the setting to do font subsetting, this works with all fonts. Therefore I think

I use iTextpdf on java in order to generate stamped PDFs, sometimes the generated PDF is in Arabic and I am facing a funny problem. To let the Arabic page being created from Right To Left (RTL) I use tables and cells which have the property PdfPCell.setRunDirection(PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL) . When I use this property Arabic does not show at all, if I avoid the call to this property Arabic strings are correctly showed, this means I shouldn't have problems with fonts and I don't really know if this is an issue with iText or I'm just missing something. Here a small piece of code which shows an

I'm using iTextSharp to generate a large document. In this document I want some specific pages in landscape. All the rest is portrait. Does anyone know how I can do this? Starting a new document is not an option. Thanks! You can set the document size and it will affect the next pages. Some snippets: Set up your document somewhere (you know that already): var document = new Document(); PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.GetInstance( document, new FileStream(destinationFile, FileMode.Create) ); pdfWriter.SetFullCompression(); pdfWriter.StrictImageSequence = true; pdfWriter.SetLinearPageMode(); Now

I am trying to complete an example that draws graphics and writes them to PDF, but I keep getting errors that the PDF has no pages. if I add something simple with document.add() after opening it works fine, I just never see the graphics. Here is my code: Document document = new Document(); PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(); response.setContentType("application/pdf"); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", " attachment; filename=\"Design.pdf\""); writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, response.getOutputStream()); document.open(); PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent(); Graphics2D
