I have an old ASP.NET project originally done in ASP.NET 1.1 w/ iText.NET and converted to .NET 2.0 and iTextSharp 4.1.6.0. It uses lots of Table (I'm assuming pdfptable wasn't an option at the time it was created.) I am trying to convert this code to use the latest iTextSharp 5.0.0 dll and now see Table and cell have been removed. I started converting it anyway and soon found there is no equivalent to a lot of the functionality that Table offered. Mainly AddCell no longer allows a col,row setting. There are literally thousands of these calls in this code and the posibility of changing it to generate linearly row by row looks hopeless at the moment. The current code looks something like:
Dim myTable As New Table(NumReq + 2, IngDS.Tables(0).Rows.Count + 3)
myTable.SetWidths(Width)
myTable.Width = 100
myTable.Padding = 2
in my document i am creating 3-4 pdfptables. at design time i dont know the size of the tables. i need to place the 2nd table right after the first, but i dont know the position of the first (i cant calculate it because i dont know how big it is). how do i know where to place the second table?
and i dont have 4 cells to add in it, how can i make it so that it automatically fills the cell if there are not enough cells?i am finding that unless i have at least 4 cells in there, it wont display it?how do i figure out which cells are blank?
can show me documentation on this method? i have the following line:
datatable.WriteSelectedRows(0, -1, document.LeftMargin, document.TopMargin, writer.DirectContent) and it doesnt seem to matter whether its topmargin or bottommargin, it puts it at the bottom of the page.
i am trying to create a vb application which creates pdf documents by taking xmls as input.I want to get the table of contents for the pdf being created in the following format

using the chapters and section functions of itextsharp , all i can get is
heading1 heading2 heading3
getting the page numbers beside the appropriate entry..!??
I inherited a program that retrieves 3 datasets from our vendors' web services, converts it to a table and then merges the 3 tables before exporting into xml from the resulting combined table. The problem I am having is that when web services returns an empty dataset the program crashes in the attempt to create a table from the empty dataset.How do I modify this code to either create an empty table or recognize the empty dataset and skip around that particular table creation, merge and removal? There is always data in at least one of the datasets.
foreach (Branch branch in branches) { Console.WriteLine("Opening connection..."); Vendor.ws_ordersSoapClient VendorClient = new VendorInterface.Vendor.ws_ordersSoapClient();
a user will enter a number, n, which ranges from 1 to 30. they will also enter a "P" or an "S" (sum or product). depending on which was selected, it will calculate the sum or product of the numbers from 1 to n.i'm having a conversion error on line 5 stating "Conversion from string "S" to type 'Double' is not valid."

I'm creating a program in VB.net that does the following:At a high level I receive a file in email, put the attachment in a monitored folder, import the text file to excel, format the excel, and then email the excel file to a list of recipients.
Here is my plan:
Completed: Outlook VBA to monitor all incoming email for specific message. Once message is received drop attached .txt file in a specific network folder.
Completed: (VB.net) Monitor folder, when text file is added begin processing
Not Complete: (VB.net) Import text file to Excel
Not Complete: (VB.net) Format Excel Text file.(add in a row of data,format column headers with color/size, add some blank columns, add data validation to some of the blank columns that allow drop down selections)
Completed: (VB.net) Save file.
Completed: (VB.net) Send file to list of recipients.
Obviously the items above that are not complete are the bulk of the work, but I wanted to get some advice on what some of you think would be the best way to approach something like this. The import and formatting of the file are causing me some problems because I just can't decide what would be the most efficient way to do this.
The way stated above. Import to excel -> format Having a template excel that contains all of the formatting already done for me and attempting to transition the data to this document (no clue if/how I can do this). Is it even feasible? Have the template already created and then import the text file to a new excel file, then transition that data to the excel template?
Something I thought about, in terms of formatting the document, was to record a macro of me doing all of the formatting that I'm going to need and then attempt to convert that macro into my vb.net code, but I'm not sure if that will work. I will need to verify that the text file comes in the EXACT format every time correct?
Here's 2 questions that I hope someone can help me on. This is in VB.net. I keep on getting this error 'java.io.bufferedInputstream.count is not accessible in this context because it is 'Protected Friend'. Does anyone know how to fix this error?
The other errors i get are "Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Val' accepts this number of arguments". I have listed below the code that I have coverted from Java. Where is my mistake?'the underlined areas are where it is giving me errors.
I have a bunch of PDFs that I'm just trying to open, resize the page, and then save. I'm also hoping that the file sizes will shrink significantly doing so. I am using iTextSharp and the resizing works just fine, but the file size is nearly identical, ever so slightly larger in fact. Here's the function I have now:
Is there a way to extract the value for APPEARANCE_NORMAL from each stamp in a PDF using iTextSharp? I know how to find all the Stamp annotations, but I am unsure how to get APPEARANCE_NORMAL.
I have an instance where I have a logo image as part of some artwork..If a user uploads a new logo I have a form field which is larger than the default logo.I then use that form field to position the new image.
The problem is I need to set the background colour of that form field to white so that it covers the old logo in the event that the new image is smaller than the old logo..
what I have done is:foreach (var imageField in imageReplacements) { fields.SetFieldProperty(imageField.Key, "bgcolor", iTextSharp.text.Color.WHITE, null); fields.RegenerateField(imageField.Key); PdfContentByte overContent = stamper.GetOverContent(imageField.Value.PageNumber); float[] logoArea = fields.GetFieldPositions(imageField.Key);
[Code]...
The problem with this is that the background colour of the field is set to white and the image then doesn't appear.. i remove the SetFieldProperty and RegenerateField commands and the image replacement works fine.is there a way to set a stacking order on layers?

even though im decrementing last_pos by the height of the previous table, they still lap over in a weird way like this:
I need to convert fdf files to pdf in asp.net using vb. I found some code that I'm trying to learn from. What I would like to do is upload the fdf file and then output a pdf to a directory and email it out. The fdf files are coming from a shared linux/php host (using the php fdf functions is all I can do here on this host) that are emailed to a central inbox. I'm going to pick up the files from the inbox and upload them to a win/asp.net box to convert to pdf.The code i found is below.
* Dim pdfFlat As New MemoryStream() * Dim pdfReader As New PdfReader(context.Request.MapPath(pdfFormFileName)) * Dim pdfStamper As New PdfStamper(pdfReader, pdfFlat) * ' bind fields from fdf... * Dim fdfReader As New FdfReader(context.Request.InputStream) * Dim pdfForm As AcroFields = pdfStamper.AcroFields *

I am trying to export gridview (HTML Based) to a pdf in asp.net+vb.net (backend). When I click on the Export to PDF button the download window shows, but when you click on open Adobe reader will open but displays the message
" Adobe Reader Could not open 'test[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ( for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded) ".
The coding for export to pdf is same for 5 different reports of which 4 are working fine, as well as export to Excel is also working fine for all 5 reports. Does it have any relation with the itextsharp dll version? (I am using itextsharp version 3.1.1.0)
