We are building a LAMP application that also needs to generate loads of complex PDF reports. I'm looking for a library that runs on our Debian server and allows us to generate these reports. The language isn't of great importance (java, python, php, perl, ...) as long as it's stable, flexible and supports Unicode. LTR and RTL writing s...
The sample code in this article for creating a PDF from a Word doc works great if you have word installed on the machine. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb412305.aspx I'm curious if it is possible to do this without having to install Word. ...
Scribus 1.3.3.13 - Ubuntu 64bit I have a scribus document that I'm creating with text fields. I'm using the text fields for code samples, as that appeared to be the only way to have a scrolling text frame. Upon conversion of the document, these text fields get populated with escape characters. Is there any way to disable the escape se...

Hi all. I am using iTextSharp to create a PDF document in C#. I would like to attach another file to the PDF. I'm having just loads of trouble trying to do so. The examples here show some annotations, which apparently attachments are. This is what I've tried: writer.AddAnnotation(its.pdf.PdfAnnotation.CreateFileAttachment(writer, n...
I have some PDF's all with two attached files with static names. I would like to use iTextSharp to extract these files to a temp directory so that I can work with them further. I tried following the tutorial here but I ran into problems when the iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfReader didn't have a getCatalog() method as shown in the bottom exam...
I am inserting metadata into postscript files with a program, to be distilled to pdf with Adobe Distiller. I am using this code that I grabbed from an online chapter of Thomas Merz's "Web Publishing with Acrobat-PDF": /pdfmark where {pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse [ /Title (mot accenté) /Author (mot accenté)...
Cheers, we are having the following problem while generating PDF reports with the Birt framework - when the content is a table that has many rows in it then the rows get stacked together. We'd like to split the content into more pages. When we set the PDFRenderOption's PAGE_OVERFLOW to OUTPUT_TO_MULTIPLE_PAGES we can only see that the ...
I'm generating a PDF using Prince. I'm using the below stylesheet (part of a much larger css file) to include a footer on each page containing page numbers, but the footer doesn't appear. So the question is, what am I doing wrong? @page { size: A4; margin: 24mm 22mm; padding: 0; @bottom-left { content: "Page " counter(...
Hi, i'm having a weird problem with images in iTextSharp library. I'm adding the image to the PdfPCell and for some reason it gets scaled up. How do i keep it to original size?

I have learned Apple has release CGPDF APIs in SDK 3.2 for drawing PDF context. What I understand from these APIs is that you can draw a PDF to a data object or a PDF file. You can then export it, may be, to your sandbox's directory OR add as an attachment in the mail. But I am not sure if we can use these APIs to read a PDF from app...

I was recently asked to preform some updates to an existing PDF document. The changes required were completed using Adobe Designer (the only tool I have available to me). These changes included alignment, and new text. Note that there were fillable form fields on the forms, and they were left untouched. The saved version of the form ...
I need to augment a PDF with a custom metadata field on download in PHP (5.3). I have been looking at the pdftk library, but I can't get my head around how I would get PHP to interface with it on our (Ubuntu) web server. The deprecated PDFInfo library seems like a dead end. Is there a simpler/easier/better solution? Thanks ...
