pdfbox

I need to create a PDF which will hold the report of execution status, where the status would be in table structure. Is it possible to generate pdf table format with the PDFBOX api? Here is some sample code for creating a new PDF document: import java.awt.Color; import java.io.IOException; import org.apache.pdfbox.exceptions.COSVisitorException; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.edit.PDPageContentStream; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDFont; import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.font.PDType1Font; public

I have a pdf form made and I'm trying to use pdfBox to fill in the form and print the document. I got it working great for 1 page print jobs but i had to try and modify for multiple pages. Basically it's a form with basic info up top and a list of contents. Well if the contents are larger than what the form has room for I have to make it a multiple page document. I end up with a document with a nice page one and then all the remaining pages are the blank template. What am I doing wrong? PDDocument finalDoc = new PDDocument(); File template = new File("path/to/template.pdf"); //Declare basic

How can I find(in mm) the width and the height of a pdf page using PDFBox? Currently, I'm using this: System.out.println(page.getMediaBox().getHeight()); System.out.println(page.getMediaBox().getWidth()); but the result is(not in mm): 842.0 595.22 usr2564301 Measurement units inside a PDF are in points , a traditional graphic industry measurement unit. Adobe uses the following definition: 1 pt = 1/72 inch and since one inch is defined to be exactly 25.4 mm (really!), you can convert from points to mm using the formula mm = pt*25.4 / 72 Your values, by the way, translate (loosely) to the A4

Pardon Me! I am poor in java. Please Correct me wherever I am wrong and improve wherever I am poor!

How can i edit a pdf page with java and pdfbox by writing in a specific position that i know already in pixels ? I tried this but it overwrites : PDDocument document = null; try { document = PDDocument.load(new File("/x/x/x/mypdf.pdf")); PDPage page = (PDPage) document.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages().get(0); PDFont font = PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD; PDPageContentStream contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(document, page); page.getContents().getStream(); contentStream.beginText(); contentStream.setFont(font, 12); contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(100, 100); contentStream.drawString(

I have been playing around with PdfBox and PDFTextStripperByArea method. I was able to extract information if the text is bold or italic , but I'm unable to get the underline information. As far as I understand it in PDF, underline is done by drawing lines. So in theory I should be able to get some sort of information about lines somewhere around the text. Giving this information I could then find out if either text is underlined or in a table. Here is my code so far: List<TextPosition> textPos = charactersByArticle.get(index); for (TextPosition t : textPos) { if (t.getFont().getFontDescriptor
