ITextSharp Determine If A PDF File Has Fields In It ?
Oct 30, 2008
I need to create a PDF drawing of our products with dimensions filled in, based on template files. After the user selects the proper template file for the desired product, a window should pop up that prompts the user for the necessary dimensions, such as width, length, etc. Then the program would fill in all the fields on the template form with the proper values. Some fields would just be filled with the exact values that the user enters in, but other fields may require a calculated value based on the entered values. ie. Overall width = nominal width + 6. So somehow I need to figure out how to make the template hold the equations. Can anyone offer me some guidance on how to make this work the way I described? Can iTextSharp determine if a PDF file has fields in it? Can it loop through all the fields & get the field names?

I'm currently trying to extract an image from a pdf file using iTextSharp.
The pdf is made from a scanner: it has a single page that contains one big image.
When looking at the file I find the following:
<< /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Name /Obj3 /Width 2480 /Height 3507 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /BlackIs1 true /BitsPerComponent 1 /Length 5 0 R /Filter /CCITTFaxDecode /DecodeParms << /K -1 /Columns 2480 >> >> stream
[Code].....
But, that doesn't work as I get one big black tiff file with different shades of gray on top.
Does anyone know a way how I can decode those CCITTFaxDecode images?

I have read the file I/O tutorial and I learned alot. My problem is I need to send several different txt fields at one time and each into there own file. This was simple in vb6 using something like below, I have no idea how to do this with .net. Also on start up I will need to read this information back into text fields.
Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
'Save command1 name to file
Open App.Path & "subD.cab" For Output As #1

I'm currently refactoring an old Visual Basic DLL (VB.Net), which stores all of its data in one module called Globaldefinitions as public fields. There are about 200 fields, referenced thousands of times all around the code:
Public Module Globaldefinitons
Public a As Short
...
Public zz10 As Double
[Code]...
I need to change the module into a class with non-shared fields. This means, each and every of these thousands of references needs to reference the instance of that class:
globalDefinitionsInstance.a = 5
How do I go about this efficiently?
Regular expressions operating on the source fall flat. Refactoring tools like Re-Sharper or CodeRush don't seem to offer this functionality. Visual Studio 2010 cannot do it automatically either.

Class Foo
ReadOnly name As String
Public Sub New(name As String, dependentUpon As Foo)
Me.name = name
[code]....
The output of New Bar() is:
Dependent created. Dependent upon nothing.
Independent created. Dependent upon nothing.
It seems fields are initialized in the same order as they appear in the source code, which (a) leads to an unexpected result, and (b) seems a little puzzling, given that one is normally not permitted to read from uninitialized variables in .NET, yet that seems to be working fine above.I would've expected VB.NET to be smart enough to initialize referenced fields first, and only then those that reference it; i.e. I'd have liked to see this output instead:
Independent created. Dependent upon nothing.
Dependent created. Dependent upon Independent.
how to get VB.NET to behave like that instead, without simply having to swap the declaration order of dependent and independent inside class Bar?

I'm trying to create a table in Word using data from a table in Access. There are four fields in the access table that I need. 3 fields are text which I can populate the Word without any issues. However the fourth field is a memo with >255 characters.I'm struggling to come up with the proper code to allow me to populate the Word field with the memo data that has more than 255 characters. The code I have so far is listed below. But when it hits the memo field, it crashes on the line I marked with **. I know it's not text, but I've tried many different field types, but nothing has worked so far.[code]...

My intent is to have the code - on a button.click event - check the Username and Password fields and return an error depending on which is wrong. Or if both are wrong, return a different error message. I've set the username as parts and the password as parts (still learning how to use external authentication). [Code]

I have been given a task to replace text within an existing PDF file. I played around with iTextSharp and is halfway.
I did come accross an excellent sample on the CodeBank by stanav, which I have been using.
Now, I know that you cannot replace the existing text on the file, because a PDF document is not a Word document as such. So my way of thinking is to draw a block around the existing text, and resave the file.
I need to find the precise x & y location of the text, and then I could draw the block(s) over it - that way, blanking the words out.
This is my

I'm trying to export the details in my datalist into a PDF file by using this third part program called Itextsharp. However, I'm encountering problems in generating the PDF as it keeps giving me the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error which points to my "htmlparser.Parse(sr)"
I been trying for 2 hours now to fix this problem however no progress. Does anyone here have experience in Itextsharp?
Here is the code that runs the export to PDF command
Protected Sub Button15_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Resume.pdf")

I want to scan a directory and see what files are NOT bmp image files. As the file extension can lie I need to interrogate the file itself. I found some code here [url]...?ID=112 that does exactly this however it was written for VB5 and is 13 years out of date! I tried compiling it however VB 2010 baulked and I don't have the expertise to make it work.

When scanning a data file of this kind of form:
21/02/11 11:00:23, true, false
22/02/11 02:03:43 AM, true, false
22/03/11, false, false
2011-05-21T12:30:20, true, true
The 2nd and 3rd row are not important. How can you, by scanning a file, determine if a row comprises of dates, particularly when they have inconsistent formats? In the example above, for instance:
1) 1st line is date and time
2) 2nd line is date and time but also AM/PM
3) 3rd line is only date
4) 4th line is GMT format.
I'm not requesting code, but perhaps an algorithm or some guidelines on how to achieve this.

So we're having this problem. A user goes to upload a file, and if it's above 10MB, it just kind of times out the page, and clears, and no good error is thrown to describe what happened. Ideally, we would like to examine the file size when the user chooses the file they want to upload but I don't know if this is even possible. Our framework is built with ASP.NET, VB.NET, and Javascript (and ExtJS 3.0), and it runs in IE.

I created a survey in vb.net where results are stored in an Excel file. Locally I can access and update the data of the file, but if I put online can not correctly access the excel file. How can I determine the absolute url of the file so, when a user submits the answers they can be inserted correctly in the excel file?Currently I use this to determine the location of the file: Dim LocalizacaoFicheiro As String = String.Concat(Server.MapPath("."), "RespostasQuestionario.xlsx")

I would like to check if a URL exists -- without requesting the file. The program needs to check if a PDF or Excel spreadsheet exists at a particular URL. If it does, it might want to download the file, but it should not download it every time.
I currently use the WebBrowser.Navigate method to do this, but it always downloads the file. But I don't want to actually download the .pdf or .xls file, I just want to determine if the URL exists.

Does anybody know of a way to determine the current name and link to the program on a computer currently as default associated with a file extension? For example, if you have a "*.jpg" file, it most likely will open in WINDOWS PICTURE GALLERY under Vista on default. If you associated another program with the "*.jpg" extension, then this file will be opened with tat program instead. "*.jpg" is here only an example!

I am currently using the FileOpen method wrapped in a try/catch block to determine if a particular Excel file is currently in use or not.
When my app tries to access the file, I would like to be able to notify the user who it is that already has the file open. If I try to open the file in excel while it is in use, the message that Excel provides includes the network login of the user that has the file open. Is it possible to get this information via code so that I can tell the user of my app the login of whomever already has the file open?
