Table border style lost after uploaded on Gdoc - ms-word

We are now working on upload word document on Google Docs by .NET. We have an template which contains tables, we set border style of tables to none, then all the borders are invisible. But after we uploaded it on Google Docs, the borders appears in black. We tried upload the template to Google Docs manually, the borders appear too. So I think our code is correct, does the Google Docs API allow us to change the style of table border after convert .docx to Google Doc? Or any solution to keep the borders invisible?
I've tried to make the table border to white (the paper color), then the borders is hidden while I upload it to Google Docs without conversion. But while I try to edit it, the table border appears again. I guess that's because Google viewer convert the .docx to GDoc while I try to edit the .docx document.
I've tried to set table border to none in Word, but the borders still appears after conversion. Is this a bug of Google document conversion? It should set the border to zero while the table border was set to none in Word, but it doesn't do that. Is there anybody can help me on this issue? Many thanks.

To answer your first question, there is no way of modifying the document content after uploading. You may, however find better fidelity by converting to HTML or PDF and uploading those formats.
Otherwise, you should raise a bug report on the issue tracker, so that the conversion can be improved.

This is not an answer to your problem, but it's a work around that I'm using currently, by setting the border colour to white it no longer displays the black borders.

Highlighting a string in a pdf iphone

I'm developing a book app.My client has provided all the contents of pdf.
I have already implemented all the contents of pdf to book.
But he wanted to highlight a text in that pdf.
The user would like the text to allow for highlighting (like if you're reading a paper book).
Is this possible? Can anyone help me on this, please?
Thanks in advance.
Theoretically yes.. depends on a bit hacking and other things, for example fonts used in the PDF. Have a look at PdfKitten, their demo project can find text in a PDF and highlight it. That should give you a first pointer on how to highlight. If you want to the user to highlight with the touches you would need to be able to transform locations of touches into the PDF to determine where exactly the user touched, but it should be possible.

WordProcessingML shapes problem

I am currently working on exporting information from browser to word document. I am having information which contains colors and shapes. Now when I export them using wordprocessingML I am able to export text that are highlighted in colors. But I am also having certain text in browser that are encapsulated with circles ad box. I found that using VML we can render shapes. But I want the shapes to be in the specified x-axis and y-axis, so that it renders the text properly. Is there is any way to specify co-ordinates in shapes using keywords like "this.x", "this.y". Something similar to this to render the shapes on the text. I am not sure whether I am clear. Would like to discuss more about this.
I have found that solution for this problem. We can use "auto" keyword which can be used to find the relative position of the shapes in the worddocument according to the flow of the page. Now my question when I passed margin-left:auto, margin-top;auto, I was able to display the shapes in the right dimension. But I have also included text inside the text attribute which I want the shapes to be overlapped. I am getting shapes aside the text, not wrapping the text. Does anyone know the solution, I can try it. I find it really interesting to work on wordml.

Is CoreText just a draw/layout Framework for text?

Im using CoreText to display some text, creating framesetter, frames and so, and everything is fine. I can even format the text, but this all is done before I draw. Now the question that is driving me crazy:
CoreText is just to render text? I cannot get any reference to CTRuns or Glyphs to highlight them?
Another sub big question, the Pages App dont use CoreText, anyone knows? In Pages, you can select any already drawn styled text!
All I want is to draw the text and be able to let the user tap to select any text or doubleTap to select the paragraph.
Please, anyone, any light?
Thanks in advance.
CoreText is just to render text. Implementing user interaction is quite another matter. You need to implement UITextInput protocol, see here. It's a big job.
If you just want to input text and don't have a need for advanced typography, just use UITextView or UIWebView.
you can get image bounds of CTLines and CRRuns via core text here is little example i made for my app it's not perfect yet but you can get a little idea of how it works.

PDF text position, page left margin

I want to write an application to validate a PDF file. The validation that is required is to verify that all the text and images in the PDF should start after 0.5" margin from left and 0.5" margin from the right. If any of the text is going outside this margin then application should be able to catch this.
I tried to search this into iText but couldn't get anything usefull that can solve my purpose.
Can somebody help me out in writing this code in .net csharp.
Thanks,
Praveen
In addition to R Ubben's answer : reader.getPageSize(pageNumber) is exactly the same as reader.getBoxSize(pageNumber,"media").
That's how it's implemented in iTextSharp. You can see it in source code.
Extract:
public Rectangle GetPageSize(PdfDictionary page) {
PdfArray mediaBox = page.GetAsArray(PdfName.MEDIABOX);
return GetNormalizedRectangle(mediaBox);
}
use SetMarginMirroring(true)
The PDF standard doesn't really have the concept of margins, since a PDF is supposed to be device independent. What it can have is five boxes designed to constrain output: media box, crop box, bleed box, art box, and trim box. Usually the other four boxes are the same size or smaller than the media box.
If a mediabox is present in your pdfs, you could retrieve it and check to see that it is 0.5" smaller on each side than the page. Try comparing the results of reader.getPageSize(pageNumber) and reader.getBoxSize(pageNumber,"media"). Very likely they will be the same.
What you can do is rewrite the pdfs to make sure there are 1/2 inch margins. The easiest way to this is shrink the page.

The generated report in DOCX format has invalid margins

I'm using JasperReports to generate a word (docx) document but I have a problem when I want to try to print the doc. The exporter messes up the margins of the page. Does anyone know how to prevent that from happening.
I know how to set the margin in iReport, but it just makes the data generate further from the page borders, but the margins in word which can be adjusted at the top of the page is laying right at the edge.
Has anyone had this problem?
Are you able to specify the page size? Its possible that using this in combination with the margin settings will help the export problem.
If you are not too heavily invested in your Jasper solution, Docmosis and JODReports let you layout the document visually using Word or Writer then render the report in various formats. This may save you time in the long run, but all reporting systems have quirks. Hope you find a solution, especially when your output is not PDF.
