How to convert an ascii print file ( text file with line feed and form feed ctrl characters) into a PDF Document with the pre printed stationery as template or background image. How can this be done in Java.
You can create a PDF using either one of two ways:
In Java code using iText
By creating an FO using something like Velocity (mapping your text data into a template) and running it through an FO transformer to create a PDF.
That gets you the PDF. You can print it by either opening it in Adobe Reader and printing from there OR by sending it to a printer using the Java print API.

We have a project where we use pdf.js to render a PDF into webpage and it creates HTML container elements for the PDF pages. The content of the PDF is split as HTML span in the view.
Attached is the image which shows how pdf text is rendered in the view. It also shows, each span has a data-key does not corresponds to a line in PDF.
Now, I need a pdf reader for java which reads and breaks the content as span with data-key or just the span in the order.
There are lot of java libraries available to read PDF content which gets the content line by line but that does not solve my issue. I need a java library which could break the content equivalent to span in the view.
I have a PDF file file (say A.pdf) and would like to create a copy of that file (B.pdf).
But I would like to skip some text when I copy the file.
For example A.pdf has a text of Hello World and I will skip the text Hello and eventually B.pdf will have World only.
Edit: The word World shall stay where it is and it is not going to shift.
I tried to solve that problem using PDFTextStripper class but the text remained same. I'm quite new to the PDFBox and using version 2.
Thanks.
I'm just extracting text from image but when I try to process form program doesn't work for character extraction due to form boundaries. How to extract characters from a form which contains boundaries?
Recognize the lines in the form , collect their positions in an array and write the image without considering values in the array using ImageIO.write
I have to edit an existing pdf file using itext in java. My problem is in the existing pdf it contains lots of pages. When inputting the page number of that existing pdf i have to edit the footer of that page to a new text and have to output only that page with edited footer page along with the page contents in that page. No need to output the remaining pages. Also the existing pdf is in A6 format and I have to change the output pdf to A4 format. How it is possible?
You can split and merge PDF files using iText. That means, you need to split your original document into three parts and keep only the middle (required) part. You can also delete and add objects. That means you can find the footer object, delete it and and add a new object in its place. I do not think you would be able to change the format. Unless, you can create a brand new document in the target format and copy the objects from the source into the new document. Worth trying.
How to convert the pdf into the word doc file?
The pdf file was generated by JasperReports and which has one table in which one column contains text with html body part like <p><b>test</b></p>
So I just want to convert this pdf file in doc with proper formating like text display in bold format.
Much of the format information is removed in converting a file into a PDF so you can not just convert it back unless the PDF was created as Marked content with additional meta tags in it.
I wrote a blog article explaining about PDF text at http://www.jpedal.org/PDFblog/2009/04/pdf-text/
Pro grammatically you can do it with Apachi POI. You can first read the PDF and then write it to a Word Doc using the API.
