I am trying to get the position of Paragraph in pdf file.
Right now I get it at pdf generation time, by getting the current position before/after adding the paragraph to the document. And then I use that position to edit.
Is there easy way to find location of paragraphs, after the pdf is generated?
Should I stop using paragraphs and position, and switch to template with AcroForms for filling in data programatically?
Everything works, but It feels like ive selected the wrong approach.
Thank you in advance.
I am working on a SAPUI5 app in which we do not want to add custom css to. Currently we are displaying text in a form which does not have the same height and styling as the inputs.
I'd prefer to change the text to an input with a pre-filled value so everything in the form has consistent styling but I need to differentiate that this should be treated as text.
The easiest way to do this is to remove the border but I cannot find away of doing this without creating custom css.
I tried borderDesign="None" but this does not affect inputs.
We have a library of PDF forms which we're filling with variable content in text, check box and radio button form fields. Since the form is a template, we use the PDFStamper to perform the form fills. Everything is filling and checking appropriately. The problem we have is that the Radio Button controls are set up (in the form) to display a check mark and not the conventional dot within a circle. When filling the form manually with Acrobat reader, the buttons appear as check boxes however; after filling with iText PDFStamper, the resulting PDF radio buttons revert to their conventional style (dot within a circle).
Is this a bug or is it the intended functionality? Is there a work around. We are currently on V5.5.8. I know in previous version(s) the formatting was maintained.
Thanks for any help .
I have a requirement to add few lines at the top of an existing PDF.
I have done this using a PdfReader and a PdfStamper.
In order to have more space in the page header area, i need to move down the current contents by 1 or 2 lines.
Below is from the forum. but it doesn't solve the issue.
How to insert content in the middle of a page in a PDF using IText
Any suggestions?
-i can not upload the pdf or the image of the pdf because am a new user
Do I interpret your question correctly if I assume that you really want to move down everything on the page and add some lines above?
You can do that by changing the media box (and crop box and what other boxes might be explicitly defined for your page) and then add the few lines on top the same way you already do it now.
You can access those boxes in the respective page dictionary which you can retrieve via the PdfReader. Look up the PDF specification for details on those boxes.
Or do I interpret you incorrectly and you only want to move down some text while keeping existing headers and footers in place? In that case Alexis' answer to the other question you refer to still holds.
What functionality in iReport allows for tool tip text?
I have a field name description that contains very large text. Instead of displaying large text I want to show two or three lines and rest of text as a tool tip. How is this possible?
You can use hyperlinkTooltipExpression expression for textField element, for example.
You can find sample here.
In iReport you can call dialog for setting tooltip with help of context menu Hyperlink.
