How to Create a Table by pdfbox

[lazy song <la...@foxmail.com>]

Hi guys:

I want to ask you a question on how to create a table using pdfbox.
It seems that we can only draw a table cell by cell in the example(CreateSimpleForm.java for example) you provided.
So do you have a more convenient way to create a table in pdfbox? If it does exist, could you please tell me that?

Best Regards
Thank you

Not able read/highlight the correctly using PDFBox 2.0.13

Hi All,

We had extended the algorithm in the following link to highlight text 
for PDFBox 2.x version.

Link:https://gist.github.com/joelkuiper/331a399961941989fec8It was 
originally written for PDFBox 1.8.x.

For some documents, it failed to highlight the given text. On debugging, 
we found that, it could not match the text in that page due to 
characters "ffi" present in the search string.

Complete search string is:

"efficiently. Fast trigger mechanisms are needed to curate events of 
interest online and\nsensitive statistical tools are needed to extract 
as much"

Actually, the above string is present in the PDF file. However, we can 
highlight the sub string, after removing the first characters in the 
search string.

  Thanks in advance.
- CM

The form example is for forms. A table, e.g. for an invoice, is 
something different. PDFBox itself can only draw lines / boxes etc. But 
there are products on top of PDFBox that you can try, e.g. Boxable or 
easytable.
