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.

Good evening!
I convert from a docx document programatically (java docx4j) to pdf.
I get the pdf document from my docx document but the pdf is not exactly the same as the docx document. (lines between numbers are lost and no bold headline, please see the attachted documents)
If you compare the docx and the pdf document two differences are there. 1) the headlines in pdf are not anymore bold and 2) more important under number nine (ยง9) there is no new lines betweenn the numbers (1),(2),(3). in pdf but in docx there are.
How can i produce the same pdf from my docx file?
Thanks in advance

Regarding "no new lines between the numbers (1),(2),(3)", it appears w:br is not being handled correctly.
I've created https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/issues/90 to track this.
Update fixed in docx4j 3.0 beta 2
How can I add text to a pdf document, which is not visible?
The document manipulation should be done in java. The usecase is to add further metadata to a document (in a proprietary format, about 40kb), before the document is signed and archived.
I tried:
annotation field with size 0,0
.txt file attachment
but, this annoys readers of the PDF, because they see a difference (comment / attachment bar).
Is there a comment object or a syntax to comment out lines in a PDF document?
EDIT:
I've tried adding text between PDF objects. This works, the problem is: acrobat reader asks to resave the file when closing window.
Adding the text after %EOF is not a solution, because signing is not applied to the metadata, which is a needed feature.
The proper way to add metadata to a PDF would be through XMP. It allows you to add arbitrary metadata and allows defining the metadata types inside of the same PDF file (which you really should do if you're archiving and which is a requirement in archival standards such as PDF/A).
XMP data can be extracted by readers who don't understand the PDF format using a simple text scanning algorithm yet at the same time it will be inside of the document so will be protected by the digital signature you apply.
You can read more about it here: http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/
I have seen PDF's who had a bunch of metadata in the footer, just in color white while the background was also white, so normally you wouldn't recognize it when you're looking at the PDF. But that's quite nasty..
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.
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.
