#Pdfwriter help find pdf how to
Here you've an example how to create a very basic PDF document with this lib, this file could be found under the examples package. Some times you want to paint an updated, or rearranged, version of your data, so in PDFWriter you can do that by implementing a Reducer that whenever appended to a chart will be responsible of adapting your data to the new format on line.Īnd the last, but not the less important, you've an AbstractPDFWriter class that provide you with some basic functionality usefull to create the reports, obviously you can extend it, but also if you just use it it's still enoughts to have a nice pdf output.
In the feature we will add more, who knows. Actually Bar, Line and others like the custom PQ ones. You can include charts, powered by JFreeChart.You can also include, or not a page number at the bottom of a basic page.Every page can have a header that will be displayed on top of it.A basic table page, can include a chart with data coming from the table.īut you can also find another sub components, already interesting enoughs or useful to make a new ones.If the ratio is PdfWriter.NOSPACECHARRATIO then the extra character spacing will be zero. Extra word spacing will grow spaceCharRatio times more than extra character spacing. A basic content page, acts as an index. Use this method to set the ratio between the extra word spacing and the extra character spacing when the text is fully justified.I will be adding them as soon as I need another ones, or whenever I can make new ones. Nowadays the list of available components is still not complete, but there are already a few of them. With an inspiration coming from JFreeReport, I decided to finally use a powerful baseline library like PDFBox and create simple but powerful components that will make my live easy when dealing with reports.
Standard PDF reporting is a common task in many organizations and usually Java libraries that deal with PDF are really low level, without providing the user with an standardized way to "just" create a report, so here is where PDFWriter is laying. This is a library that simplify how to create PDF reports with PDFBox, providing you with easy but powerful concepts that will help you automate this kind of PDF files.
