Is it possible to render pdf document with play framework 2?
(There is a module that can render pdf for play 1.x. is there a way to render in play 2?)
If you're looking to render view templates as PDF documents, check out this module.
There is the apache fop plugin which create pdf out of fop files.
The fop files are not the most intuitive files, but in the end I always found a way to format complex pdf the way I wanted it.
To add the plug in to your play application add this to build.sbt :
"org.apache.avalon.framework" % "avalon-framework-api" % "4.2.0" from "http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/avalon-framework/avalon-framework-api/4.2.0/avalon-framework-api-4.2.0.jar",
"org.apache.avalon.framework" % "avalon-framework-impl" % "4.2.0" from "http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/avalon-framework/avalon-framework-impl/4.2.0/avalon-framework-impl-4.2.0.jar",
"org.apache.xmlgraphics" % "fop" % "1.1"
This is my function to create a pdf file from a fop string :
private static FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
/**
* Wrote according to this example :
* http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/embedding.html#examples
* #param outputPath Path to the file to create (must end by .pdf).
* #param foString Description of the pdf document to render.
* http://www.w3schools.com/xslfo/default.asp
* #return the output path.
*/
public static String toPdf(String outputPath, String foString)
{
OutputStream out;
try {
File fileOutput = new File(outputPath);
out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(fileOutput));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Logger.error("InvoicePdf.invoiceToPdf: " + e.getMessage());
return null;
}
try {
Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, out);
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
Source src = new StreamSource(new StringReader(foString));
Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
transformer.transform(src, res);
}catch (Throwable e){
Logger.error("InvoicePdf.invoiceToPdf: " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
} finally {
try {
out.close();
} catch (Throwable e) {
Logger.error("InvoicePdf.invoiceToPdf: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
return outputPath;
}
When using play with scala you can use the scala library https://github.com/cloudify/sPDF.
Then in your Play 2.x controller you can render pdf with the following code:
import io.github.cloudify.scala.spdf.{Pdf, PdfConfig, Portrait}
def yourAction = Action { implicit request =>
val pdf = Pdf(
executablePath = "/usr/bin/wkhtmltopdfPath",
config = new PdfConfig {
orientation := Portrait
pageSize := "A4"
marginTop := "0.5in"
marginBottom := "0.5in"
marginLeft := "0.5in"
marginRight := "0.5in"
printMediaType := Some(true)
}
)
val outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream
pdf.run(
sourceDocument = views.html.yourTemplate().toString(),
destinationDocument = outputStream
)
Ok(outputStream.toByteArray).as("application/pdf")
}

im using iText to get content of a pdf like this :
try {
String parsedText="";
File file = new File(getApplicationContext().getFilesDir(), "test.pdf");
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(String.valueOf(file));
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
for (int i = 0; i <n ; i++) {
parsedText = parsedText+ PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(reader, i+1).trim()+"\n"; //Extracting the content from the different pages
}
reader.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("heh", String.valueOf(e));
}
but it returns the error:
/data/user/0/com.clementine.story_project/files/test.pdf not found as file or resource.
what am i doing wrong?
PdfReader doesn't accept file object, but it accept InputStream. So you can use the below code
Path path = file.toPath();
if(Files.exists(path)) {
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(Files.newInputStream(path));
//other operations
}
Also, added a file exists condition before calling the stream.
I'm trying to convert PDFs as represented by the org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument class and the icafe library (https://github.com/dragon66/icafe/) to a multipage tiff with group 4 compression and 300 dpi. The sample code works for me for 288 dpi but strangely NOT for 300 dpi, the exported tiff remains just white. Has anybody an idea what the issue is here?
The sample pdf which I use in the example is located here: http://www.bergophil.ch/a.pdf
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

public class Pdf2TiffConverter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String pdf = "a.pdf";
PDDocument pddoc = null;
try {
pddoc = PDDocument.load(pdf);
} catch (IOException e) {

try {
savePdfAsTiff(pddoc);
} catch (IOException e) {

}
private static void savePdfAsTiff(PDDocument pdf) throws IOException {
BufferedImage[] images = new BufferedImage[pdf.getNumberOfPages()];
for (int i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
PDPage page = (PDPage) pdf.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages()
.get(i);
BufferedImage image;
try {
// image = page.convertToImage(BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB, 288); //works
image = page.convertToImage(BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB, 300); // does not work
images[i] = image;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("a.tiff");
RandomAccessOutputStream rout = new FileCacheRandomAccessOutputStream(
fos);
ImageParam.ImageParamBuilder builder = ImageParam.getBuilder();
ImageParam[] param = new ImageParam[1];
TIFFOptions tiffOptions = new TIFFOptions();
tiffOptions.setTiffCompression(Compression.CCITTFAX4);
builder.imageOptions(tiffOptions);
builder.colorType(ImageColorType.BILEVEL);
param[0] = builder.build();
TIFFTweaker.writeMultipageTIFF(rout, param, images);
rout.close();
fos.close();
}
}
Or is there another library to write multi-page TIFFs?
EDIT:
Thanks to dragon66 the bug in icafe is now fixed. In the meantime I experimented with other libraries and also with invoking ghostscript. As I think ghostscript is very reliable as id is a widely used tool, on the other hand I have to rely that the user of my code has an ghostscript-installation, something like this:
/**
* Converts a given pdf as specified by its path to an tiff using group 4 compression
*
* #param pdfFilePath The absolute path of the pdf
* #param tiffFilePath The absolute path of the tiff to be created
* #param dpi The resolution of the tiff
* #throws MyException If the conversion fails
*/
private static void convertPdfToTiffGhostscript(String pdfFilePath, String tiffFilePath, int dpi) throws MyException {
// location of gswin64c.exe
String ghostscriptLoc = context.getGhostscriptLoc();
// enclose src and dest. with quotes to avoid problems if the paths contain whitespaces
pdfFilePath = "\"" + pdfFilePath + "\"";
tiffFilePath = "\"" + tiffFilePath + "\"";
logger.debug("invoking ghostscript to convert {} to {}", pdfFilePath, tiffFilePath);
String cmd = ghostscriptLoc + " -dQUIET -dBATCH -o " + tiffFilePath + " -r" + dpi + " -sDEVICE=tiffg4 " + pdfFilePath;
logger.debug("The following command will be invoked: {}", cmd);
int exitVal = 0;
try {
exitVal = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd).waitFor();
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("error while converting to tiff using ghostscript", e);
throw new MyException(ErrorMessages.GHOSTSTSCRIPT_ERROR, e);
}
if (exitVal != 0) {
logger.error("error while converting to tiff using ghostscript, exitval is {}", exitVal);
throw new MyException(ErrorMessages.GHOSTSTSCRIPT_ERROR);
}
}
I found that the produced tif from ghostscript strongly differs in quality from the tiff produced by icafe (the group 4 tiff from ghostscript looks greyscale-like)
It's been a while since the question was asked and I finally find time and a wonderful ordered dither matrix which allows me to give some details on how "icafe" can be used to get similar or better results than calling external ghostscript executable. Some new features were added to "icafe" recently such as better quantization and ordered dither algorithms which is used in the following example code.
Here the sample pdf I am going to use is princeCatalogue. Most of the following code is from the OP with some changes due to package name change and more ImageParam control settings.

For ghostscript, I used command line directly with the same parameters provided by the OP. The screenshots for the first page of the resulted TIFF images are showing below:
The lefthand side shows the output of "ghostscript" and the righthand side the output of "icafe". It can be seen, at least in this case, the output from "icafe" is better than the output from "ghostscript".
Using CCITTFAX4 compression, the file size from "ghostscript" is 2.22M and the file size from "icafe" is 2.08M. Both are not so good given the fact dither is used while creating the black and white output. In fact, a different compression algorithm will create way smaller file size. For example, using LZW, the same output from "icafe" is only 634K and if using DEFLATE compression the output file size went down to 582K.
Here's some code to save in a multipage tiff which I use with PDFBox. It requires the TIFFUtil class from PDFBox (it isn't public, so you have to make a copy).
void saveAsMultipageTIFF(ArrayList<BufferedImage> bimTab, String filename, int dpi) throws IOException
{
Iterator<ImageWriter> writers = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("tiff");
ImageWriter imageWriter = writers.next();
ImageOutputStream ios = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(new File(filename));
imageWriter.setOutput(ios);
imageWriter.prepareWriteSequence(null);
for (BufferedImage image : bimTab)
{
ImageWriteParam param = imageWriter.getDefaultWriteParam();
IIOMetadata metadata = imageWriter.getDefaultImageMetadata(new ImageTypeSpecifier(image), param);
param.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT);
TIFFUtil.setCompressionType(param, image);
TIFFUtil.updateMetadata(metadata, image, dpi);
imageWriter.writeToSequence(new IIOImage(image, null, metadata), param);
}
imageWriter.endWriteSequence();
imageWriter.dispose();
ios.flush();
ios.close();
}
I experimented on this for myself some time ago by using this code:
https://www.java.net/node/670205 (I used solution 2)
However...
If you create an array with lots of images, your memory consumption
really goes up. So it would probably be better to render an image, then
add it to the tiff file, then render the next page and lose the
reference of the previous one so that the gc can get the space if needed.
Refer to my github code for an implementation with PDFBox.
Since some dependencies used by solutions for this problem looks not maintained. I got a solution by using latest version (2.0.16) pdfbox:
ByteArrayOutputStream imageBaos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageOutputStream output = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(imageBaos);
ImageWriter writer = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("TIFF").next();
try (final PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File("/tmp/tmp.pdf"))) {
PDFRenderer pdfRenderer = new PDFRenderer(document);
int pageCount = document.getNumberOfPages();
BufferedImage[] images = new BufferedImage[pageCount];
// ByteArrayOutputStream[] baosArray = new ByteArrayOutputStream[pageCount];
writer.setOutput(output);
ImageWriteParam params = writer.getDefaultWriteParam();
params.setCompressionMode(ImageWriteParam.MODE_EXPLICIT);
// Compression: None, PackBits, ZLib, Deflate, LZW, JPEG and CCITT
// variants allowed
params.setCompressionType("Deflate");
writer.prepareWriteSequence(null);
for (int page = 0; page < pageCount; page++) {
BufferedImage image = pdfRenderer.renderImageWithDPI(page, DPI, ImageType.RGB);
images[page] = image;
IIOMetadata metadata = writer.getDefaultImageMetadata(new ImageTypeSpecifier(image), params);
writer.writeToSequence(new IIOImage(image, null, metadata), params);
// ImageIO.write(image, "tiff", baosArray[page]);
}
System.out.println("imageBaos size: " + imageBaos.size());
// Finished write to output
writer.endWriteSequence();
document.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new Exception(e);
} finally {
// avoid memory leaks
writer.dispose();
}
Then you may using imageBaos write to your local file. But if you want to pass your image to ByteArrayOutputStream and return to privious method like me. Then we need other steps.
After processing is done, the image bytes would be available in the ImageOutputStream
output object. We need to position the offset to the beginning of the output object and then read the butes to write to new ByteArrayOutputStream, a concise way like this:
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
long counter = 0;
while (true) {
try {
bos.write(ios.readByte());
counter++;
} catch (EOFException e) {
System.out.println("End of Image Stream");
break;
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error processing the Image Stream");
break;
}
}
return bos
Or you can just ImageOutputStream.flush() at end to get your imageBaos Byte then return.
Inspired by Yusaku answer,
I made my own version,
This can convert multiple pdf pages to a byte array.
I Used pdfbox 2.0.16 in combination with imageio-tiff 3.4.2
//PDF converter to tiff toolbox method.
private byte[] bytesToTIFF(#Nonnull byte[] in) {
int dpi = 300;
ImageWriter writer = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("TIFF").next();
try(ByteArrayOutputStream imageBaos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(255)){
writer.setOutput(ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(imageBaos));
writer.prepareWriteSequence(null);
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(in);
PDFRenderer pdfRenderer = new PDFRenderer(document);
ImageWriteParam params = writer.getDefaultWriteParam();
for (int page = 0; page < document.getNumberOfPages(); page++) {
BufferedImage image = pdfRenderer.renderImageWithDPI(page, dpi, ImageType.RGB);
IIOMetadata metadata = writer.getDefaultImageMetadata(new ImageTypeSpecifier(image), params);
writer.writeToSequence(new IIOImage(image, null, metadata), params);
}
LOG.trace("size found: {}", imageBaos.size());
writer.endWriteSequence();
writer.reset();
return imageBaos.toByteArray();
} catch (Exception ex) {
LOG.warn("can't instantiate the bytesToTiff method with: PDF", ex);
} finally {
writer.dispose();
}
}

Or you can just ImageOutputStream.flush() at end to get your imageBaos Byte then return.
Inspired by Yusaku answer,
I made my own version,
This can convert multiple pdf pages to a byte array.
I Used pdfbox 2.0.16 in combination with imageio-tiff 3.4.2
//PDF converter to tiff toolbox method.
private byte[] bytesToTIFF(#Nonnull byte[] in) {
int dpi = 300;
ImageWriter writer = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("TIFF").next();
try(ByteArrayOutputStream imageBaos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(255)){
writer.setOutput(ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(imageBaos));
writer.prepareWriteSequence(null);
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(in);
PDFRenderer pdfRenderer = new PDFRenderer(document);
ImageWriteParam params = writer.getDefaultWriteParam();
for (int page = 0; page < document.getNumberOfPages(); page++) {
BufferedImage image = pdfRenderer.renderImageWithDPI(page, dpi, ImageType.RGB);
IIOMetadata metadata = writer.getDefaultImageMetadata(new ImageTypeSpecifier(image), params);
writer.writeToSequence(new IIOImage(image, null, metadata), params);
}
LOG.trace("size found: {}", imageBaos.size());
writer.endWriteSequence();
writer.reset();
return imageBaos.toByteArray();
} catch (Exception ex) {
LOG.warn("can't instantiate the bytesToTiff method with: PDF", ex);
} finally {
writer.dispose();
}
}
I can successfully generate a pdf from an html string, but the problem is that it doesn't take the css script. How can I generate the pdf with css style?
Please help! I have tried cssresolver als
My code is here:
{String result = "failed";
try
{
String html2 ="<html>"+.....+"</html>" ;
long timemilli = System.currentTimeMillis();
String filename = "EastAfriPack2014_Ticket_"+timemilli;
String writePath = Global.PDF_SAVE_PATH + filename ;
System.out.println("----------writePath--------------"+ writePath);
OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(new File(writePath+".pdf"));
Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, file);
document.open();
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(k.getBytes());
CSSResolver cssResolver = XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().getDefaultCssResolver(false);
cssResolver.addCss("table {color: red; background-color: blue; } ", true);
XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document, is);
document.close();
file.close();
System.out.println("pdf created");
result = filename;
return filename;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return result;
}
}
I don't think your approach works. I tried it before because, its the easiest way to create a PDF from HTML, but got bitten by same problem.
You either provide the styles inline via style attribute for the table
or
use the HTML, CSS files separately and send them to the HelperClass
XMLWorkerHelper.getInstance().parseXHtml(writer, document,
new FileInputStream("myhtmlFile.html"),
new FileInputStream("myCSSFile.css"));
the HTML part can also be an inputStream you made above in the code.
In the Java code below, I am creating a *.html report by transforming generated xml data that is stored in a string,
combinedDDIString
... against an XSLT file,
reportXSLT
... and writing the result to a physical file,
tmpReportHTML.
The code then reads the file back into a string to use in other methods. I would like to avoid having to write the results to a file, just transform the results directly into a string.
Is there any way I can write the transform results to a string directly, and avoid writing the results out to a physical file?
String reportString = null;
FileInputStream stream = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream reportBAOS = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl");
transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(reportXSLT));
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "US-ASCII");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
/*
* Create a new report file time-stamped for uniqueness, to avoid concurrency issues
*/
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss");
Date date = new Date();
File tmpReportHTML = new File(reportHTML + dateFormat.format(date) + ".html");
/*
* Perform the transform to get the report
*/
FileOutputStream reportFOS = new FileOutputStream(tmpReportHTML);
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(reportFOS, "US-ASCII");//(reportBAOS), "US-ASCII");
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new StringReader(combinedDDIString)), new StreamResult(osw));
osw.close();
/*
* Get the report as a string from the temp report file
*/
//FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(new File(REPORT_OUTPUT));
stream = new FileInputStream(tmpReportHTML); //(new File(reportXML));
FileChannel fc = stream.getChannel();
MappedByteBuffer bb = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, fc.size());
reportString = Charset.defaultCharset().decode(bb).toString();
/*
* Delete the temp report file
*/
tmpReportHTML.delete();
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
stream.close();
Thanks in advance for the help.
Try using a StringWriter to create the StreamResult. (You should be able to obtain a String from the StringWriter simply using the toString method.)
