I am trying to use iTextSharp to build a new pdf document, that will contain some already existing pdf's. I can import existing jpg's without a problem, but i am struggling with pdfs. Anyone got any info to point me in the right direction
Cheers
Luke
Do you need to append PDFs to an existing PDF? If so, check out the class here:
http://www.wacdesigns.com/2008/10/03/merge-pdf-files-using-c/
You'll need to spend a little time correcting minor errors, but otherwise the class is working fine for me.
For info i managed to use iTextShape in the end, if anyone would like some info i will be happy to post it

I am using iTextSharp (C#) to generate a few PDF-reports.
One of them creates a bill. The bill must contain one line in OCR-B.
I cannot embed the font file.
Since im doing the new reports after the old ones, I went to check how it was done in the old bill-report. They inserted a picture.
Seems like a good workaround.
I have been googling on how to render text as image using iTextSharp, without success.
I am open for suggestions.
Apparently, there is no iTextSharp way of doing this.
This approach worked for me How to generate an image from text on fly at runtime
That way I didn't have to include any 3rd party libraries.
So I'm brand spanking new to iTextSharp and I know I have quite a bit of reading ahead of me but in an attempt to shave a bunch of time off a relatively trivial task I thought I reach out the stack brain-trust.
I have a very simple goal: Starting with a template pdf, I need to create new pdf with a few of the characters changed. We're talking single characters on each page. I don't need a detailed answer complete with code (although that'd be awesome) so much as a general list of tools and api's I'm going to need.
The data I need will already be in a db which I could output to xml files if need be.
So far it looks like my template will need the "editable" characters tagged somehow (not sure how to do that yet) and using PDFStamper I can modify the copy. Is that the right path or is there a better way?
Thanks for any insight.
I've been using the code sample from iText in Action (8.7.2) to deal with the "cannot save" issue with PDF forms and iTextSharp. It was working fine, but recently the fix stopped working and all the variations of the code listed in the book to prevent the saving problem haven't solved it.
I'm using the latest version of the iTextSharp library. Has anyone else run into this? Did an Acrobat update break it?
works for me using iTextSharp 5.0.6, Reader X, and Listing 8.29 ReaderEnabledForm from the book. (it's the file named 'xfa_preserved.pdf' in the zip download)
IIRC the last couple of times i saw similar on the mailing list, the problem was specific to how the original PDF was created. if you subscribe, you can post the original PDF and hopefully one of the experts can take a look if they have time.
could anyone take a look at this for me?
Problem: trying to output a csv on demand using Zend Framework. I want to avoid creating files on the system so I'm trying to use the same solution posted here:
export csv in zend framework
However - I'm getting 3 blank lines in the csv (and in any HTML source when viewed). I'm setting layouts in the ini file. I've tried putting the csv call earlier in the request cycle using preDispatch etc - but to no avail.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Problem solved: (my apologies, this is quite frequent - it's like when you ask someone to come over to your desk to check your bug, and everything mysteriously works....)
I was closing php tags in a front controller plugin,thus generating new lines.
I am developing an app which parses an Xml or RSS feeds of a magazine..The thing is I have to include an offline capability,ie save the previous results which were displayed in each cell(similar to the New York times app) and then display the saved ones when there is no network connection..
Please help me with the codewise explanation using Core data as I was suggested to use it for this particular task.
Will be of great help for me..
Looking forward for your replies
Regards and Thanks

You probably want to start here.
OH Boy... CoreData.
Good bye 3-4 days of learning how this works. You wont regret learning about core data but there is a LOT.
#OhioDude has a great link. You can also.
1. Xcode > file > New Project. Select Navigation Based App, make sure the coredata checkbox is checked. Viola you have a project with all the core data templates.
2. There is other sample code on Apples website.
One of the tricky and cool things about core data is that you if you deploy a new version you have to write a template of how you app is to roll the data into the new structure.
During dev as I am changing the DB structure, I seem to get errors, so I just do a build>clean. And rename the string for the DB file to something new.
Good luck. Otherwise NSUserDefaults will be fine.
Or just learn about PLIST's you can simply serialize a NSDictionarly object into a PLIST and save it to the disk in a few lines of code. SUPER easy and no stuffing around with CoreData.
