I have a PDF having first page as different page ( as we have in MS word functionality under "Design" tab ). and the same PDF is passed to PDFBOX using below code :
File originalPdfFile = new File("D:\\AsposeOutput_temp.pdf");
PDDocument originalDocument = PDDocument.load(originalPdfFile);
originalDocument.save("D:\\pdfBoxGen.pdf");
But when i am opening the PDF that is generated by PDFBOX, is modified. I have attached the input PDF (named AsposeOutput_temp.pdf) and output PDF (named : pdfBoxGen.pdf). I want the PDF to same as i am passing as input.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I got the solution for the above problem. There was no issue with PDFBOX library. it was with the Aspose word.The input file that was passed to PDFBOX library , was having section break internally and the same was making the improper alignment of footer.

I was having some problem when trying to include header and footer in multiple pages of pdf file when trying to convert from webview into pdf. Here is how I formed the content to be displayed in webview:
public String toHtml() {
StringBuilder htmlStr = new StringBuilder("");
htmlStr.append("<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html\"; charset=utf-8>");
htmlStr.append("<title>").append("").append("</title>");
htmlStr.append("</head>\n");
htmlStr.append("<body>").append("").append("</body>");
htmlStr.append("<footer>").append("").append("</footer>");
htmlStr.append("</html>");
return htmlStr.toString();
}
And I followed this guide to generate PDF from webview. It did managed to generate the PDF file. However, the header only appeared in the first page and the footer only appeared in the last page of PDF file. Any ideas how to include the header and footer across all pages in the PDF file?
Thanks!
I had the same problem.
My working solution:
Generate Pdf from Webview
Save this Pdf
Reopen the Pdf with PdfBox GitHub - TomRoush/PdfBox
Add Header and Footer (with addCenterText) PdfBox - How to Center...
Save the extended Version
Is it possible to set a formatted HTML-Text (Color, Alignment, ...) from a HTMLEditor to an "editable" PDF using iText.
I didn't find anything on the internet.
Thanks.
The easiest way of doing this is (as Amedee suggested) using pdfHTML.
It's an iText7 add-on that converts HTML5 (+CSS3) into pdf syntax.
The code is pretty straightforward:
HtmlConverter.convertToPdf(
"<b>This text should be written in bold.</b>", // html to be converted
new PdfWriter(
new File("C://users/user2002/output.pdf") // destination file
)
);

Generated Excel file content :
SPR'17 - S/545175 -- ADSO# 16843754;
I am using aspose cells-16.12.0.jar and there is not any error occurring. The Content doesn't has any image or table etc but have special symbol. The code is executing fine without any error. I feel special symbol is creating the problem.
Aspose.Cells supports to read/write MS Excel-oriented HTML file, it means, you got to use only those HTML tags which MS-Excel uses in the formation of the file. I guess your template HTML is not good. I think you may try to open the HTML file into MS-Excel first to check if it is opened fine or not. If MS Excel opens the file fine then Aspose.Cells APIs should be able to read it fine.
This is not a duplicate question. I had searched and tried many options before posting this question.
We have a web page, in which user should be able to input data in text boxes, text areas, images and also Rich Text editors. This data has to be filled in an existing report, like filling the blanks.
I was able to achieve the functionality using Apache FOP when the user input is simple text. But Apache FOP doesn't work if the user input is Rich Text(html format). FOP will not render html, and it just pushes the html code(ex: <strong> XYZ /strong>) into the pdf.
I tried using iText, but the setback here is that even though iText supports rendering of html to pdf, it is not able to place the images, that are included in <img> tags, in the pdf file.
I can try to create a pdf using iText api block by block, but the problem is rich text data entered by the user can not be embedded between the code since building pdf block by block and html to pdf can not be done together in iText. Or at least that is what I think from my experience.
Is there any other way to create a pdf file from java with images, rich text rendering as it is, headers and footers?
iText provides the capability to convert HTML Data to Pdf. Below is the snippet to do it :
Lets assume the html data is available as Input Stream (If its a String then we can convert it to InputStream using Apache Commons - IOUtils)
InputStream htmlData; // Html Data that needs to converted to Pdf
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter pdfWriter = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, outputStream);
document.open();
// convert the HTML with the built-in convenience method
XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(pdfWriter, document, htmlData);
document.close();
// outputStream now has the required pdf data
I am working as Social Media Developer for Aspose and to add rich text to a form field in PDF file, you can try our Aspose.Pdf for Java API. Check the following sample code:
// Open a PDF document
com.aspose.pdf.Document pdfDocument = new com.aspose.pdf.Document("c:\\data\\input.pdf");
//Find Rich TextBox field using Field Name
RichTextBoxField textBoxField1 = (RichTextBoxField)pdfDocument.getForm().get("textbox1");
//Set the field value
textBoxField1.setValue("<strong> XYZ </strong>");
// Save the modified PDF
pdfDocument.save("c:\\data\\output2.pdf");
I am not trying to market or promote this product. This api actually solved our problem so thought of mentioning it as it might help fellow developers. please let me know if this is against your policy.
I finally realized that the solution for my requirement can not be achieved with either FOP, iText, Aspose, Flying Saucer, JODConverter.
I found a paid api Sferyx. This api allows to render a very complex html to pdf almost preserving the original style. It also renders the images included in the html. We are still exploring this api and will post what other features this api provides.
I have a webpage with a export option to PDF. I have to display the contents of the page in the PDF. Currently I use iText PDF Library to generate PDFs. The problem is creating PDF with iText is quite a challenge. Moreover we get frequent layout/UI changes for the webpage, so we have make the same changes to PDF.
Is there any way i can convert my JSP output to PDF. Like for example "if we set the content type to contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel", a JSP table can be rendered as Excel document.
Have you checked Jasper Reports ? It has the concept of XML templates. Also same template can be used to generate Word / XLS / PDF/ CSV / XML output.
You don't need to change the iText code generation if you use it in combination with Flying Saucer (a.k.a. XhtmlRenderer). It's then basically as simple as:
String inputPath = new File("/file.xhtml").toURI().toURL().toString();
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream("/file.pdf");
ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
renderer.setDocument(inputPath);
renderer.layout();
renderer.createPDF(outputStream);
outputStream.close();
