PDF to Image doesn't show correctly the document
Hi All
I tried to convert the following document to image, but I got the
attached result.
It parsed just the text. I also tried different formats like JPG. I ran
it using the PDFToImage class passing the document path as parameter.
I've read that sometimes the document is not created respecting the PDF
standard. But, is there a possibility to ignore it?! In fact, it's very
important to me, so, could I use PDF Box despite of those "errors"?
Thank you,
Marcelo
Setting Font Size and Type ...
Posted by Venkatesh Prasad <ve...@trv.envestnet.com>.
Following is the code I have developed to set a value to a Form Field in a PDF document. What I was not able to do is to set the Font Size and Type before writing the value in the PDF document. Can someone help with an example?
public static void main(String args[])
{
String PDFFileName = "Project2.PDF";
String fieldName = "Text1";
try {
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(PDFFileName);
List list = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAcroForm().getFields();
PDField pdfield;
try {
if (document.isEncrypted()) {
document.decrypt("");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new IOException("Failed to decrypt document #");
}
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
pdfield = (PDField) list.get(i);
String fldName = pdfield.getPartialName();
if (fldName.equals(fieldName)) {
PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog = document.getDocumentCatalog();
PDAcroForm acroForm = docCatalog.getAcroForm();
PDField field = acroForm.getField(fldName);
if (field != null) {
// I want to Set the Font Type and Size of the text "04/29/2009"
field.setValue("04/29/2009");
} else {
// Debug
System.err.println("No field found with name:" + fldName);
}
}
}
document.save("test1.PDF");
document.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error"+e);
}
}
Thanks & Regards

Question from a first time usr of PDFBox ...
Posted by Venkatesh Prasad <ve...@trv.envestnet.com>.
Hi,
I have just started to look at PDFBox for one of our requirements which is to fill a PDF with values from the FORM fields or values from Database. I have a few fundemental questions:
1. How can I create the template PDF which will contain the text of the application form and the fields where I then need to fill in (First Name, Last Name, Middle Name, Address etc). Is there another utility I have to use?
2. I understand that once I create the template PDF, I can then iterate through the fields in the PDF and use the .SetField.value' to fill them in.
Thanks & Regards
Venkatesh Prasad.B.K.

Issue looks properly logged as far as I can tell.
I'll comment more on it there for history's sake.
