I try to format a Date in Jasper Reports and it works with Windows but not with Linux. With Linux the resulting text is truncated. Code: JRXML: <parameter name="timestamp" class="java.util.Date"/> [...] <textField> <reportElement x="0" y="0" width="50" height="16" uuid="0007846a-26f1-457a-a198-67a2f7c8417c"> <property name="local_mesure_unitwidth" value="pixel"/> <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.width" value="px"/> <property name="local_mesure_unitx" value="pixel"/> <property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.x" value="px"/> <property name="local_mesure_unity" value="pixel"/>

Is there any API in C# or .net to edit pdf documents? Like I need to retrieve particular text and replace it with my own text. Thanks nRk This is not possible (in a clean & reliable way), from iTextSharp tutorial : You can't 'parse' an existing PDF file using iText, you can only 'read' it page per page. What does this mean? The pdf format is just a canvas where text and graphics are placed without any structure information. As such there aren't any 'iText-objects' in a PDF file. In each page there will probably be a number of 'Strings', but you can't reconstruct a phrase or a paragraph using

I have a list of text to be added to a reportlab frame style = getSampleStyleSheet()['Normal'] style.wordWrap = 'LTR' style.leading = 12 for legend in legends: elements.append(Paragraph(str(legend),style)) If the legend is too long, the text at the end is not visible at all. How to introduce line breaks in this situation. This may or may not apply but I just learned that \n which I normally use to introduce new lines in Python strings gets ignored by the Paragraph object of ReportLab. From a mailing list I learned that inside Paragraph you can use HTML's <br/> to introduce the new line instead

I'm creating a pdf with iText 5 and want to add a footer. I did everything like the book "iText in action" in Chapter 14 says. There are no errors but the footer doesn't show up. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? My code: public class PdfBuilder { private Document document; public void newDocument(String file) { document = new Document(PageSize.A4); writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(file)); MyFooter footerEvent = new MyFooter(); writer.setPageEvent(footerEvent); document.open(); ... document.close(); writer.flush(); writer.close(); } class MyFooter extends

I am trying to center a block of multiline text using iTextSharp. I thought that using the ColumnText would do the trick, but I'm having some trouble getting both center alignment, as well as proper wrapping working at the same time. Here is some code which shows the 2 methods I'm trying: private void PrintLocationAddress(PdfContentByte Canvas, string Address) { //define the regions for our ColumnText objects Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(150f, 300, 350f, 450f); Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(150f, 50f, 350f, 200f); //outline the rectangles so we can visualize placement of the ColumnText

I would like to print my Swing JComponent via iText to pdf. JComponent com = new JPanel(); com.add( new JLabel("hello") ); PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance( document, new FileOutputStream( dFile ) ); document.open( ); PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent( ); PdfTemplate tp = cb.createTemplate( pageImageableWidth, pageImageableHeight ); Graphics2D g2d = tp.createGraphics( pageImageableWidth, pageImageableHeight, new DefaultFontMapper( ) ); g2d.translate( pf.getImageableX( ), pf.getImageableY( ) ); g2d.scale( 0.4d, 0.4d ); com.paint( g2d ); cb.addTemplate( tp, 25, 200 ); g2d

I have an Java/Java EE based application wherein I have a requirement to create PDF certificates for various services that will be provided to the users. I am looking for a way to create PDF (no need for digital certificates for now). What is the easiest and convenient way of doing that? I have tried XSL to pdf conversion HTML to PDF conversion using itext. crude java way (using PDFWriter, PdfPCell etc.) What is the best way out of these or is there any other way which is easier and convenient? When you talk about Certificates, I think of standard sheets that look identical for every receiver
