creating a rectangle around the whole pdf

["Haddy, Diane E" <di...@uiowa.edu>]

Hello

I am very new to PDFBox.  I am creating a pdf form of which I need  to create an outer rectangle around the whole form and then in the center I need to create two rectangles adjacent to one another.  Also the header info. to surround the two adjacent rectangles is in its own rectangle and the background is pale gray.

Can someone provide me a snippet of code and perhaps a pdf for visual purposes?  I do have the PDFBox api but not sure which classes to use to achieve what I want.

Also for this line in the pdf, is there a way to add an underline to what is highlighted in red?

This is my java code:    title.drawString("Request form must be used within 30 days of " + formatDate  );

Request form must be used within 30 days of 03/07/2016



Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

Diane

Hello Diane,

To draw a rectangle, see the ShowColorBoxes.java example in the source 
code download. However set the stroking color and call stroke() instead 
of fill(). To draw a form, use the CreateSimpleForm.java example.

Creating forms is still somewhat tricky, so after having done what you 
can, please post your code and ask more.
