Mixing text and lines 2006-08-10 - By Glen Self
Back
I am doing something wrong with mixing boxes and lines with my text.
I keep getting the error "Illegal operation inside a path." from acroreader7.
I am attempting to replicate a form that needs to be emailed to people that has
lines and check boxes intermixed with hard text and text from a database.
The snippet below shows what I am doing.
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,new
FileOutputStream("HelloWorld.pdf"));
document.addAuthor("Glen Self");
document.addTitle("SDNA Questionaire");
document.open();
HeaderFooter footer = new HeaderFooter(new Phrase("Page "),true);
footer.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER );
document.setFooter(footer);
PdfContentByte cb = addBarCode(iPid, document, writer);
cb.rectangle(20,580,300,70);
cb.stroke();
s_affsubdiv_flag = rsProv.getString("affsubdiv_flag");
s_affsubdiv_text = rsProv.getString("affsubdiv");
s_affsubdiv_flag = "S";
if(s_affsubdiv_flag.contentEquals("S")){
print_box(cb, 158, 520, bfTimes,"Y");
else{
print_box(cb, 158, 520, bfTimes,""); }
//The following line works fine here as do the previous calls
print_box(cb, 10, 460, bfTimes,"Y");
cb.moveTo(50,50);
cb.beginText();
cb.setFontAndSize (bfTimesBold, 12);
cb.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER,"PLEASE RETURN
BY:",450,710,0);
cb.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_CENTER,"July 7, 2006",450,700,0
);
cb.endText();
int iMarginMailAddr = 50;
int iMargin = 12;
cb.beginText();
cb.setFontAndSize (bfTimes, 10);
cb.setTextMatrix(iMarginMailAddr, 620);
cb.showText(rsProv.getString("mail_to"));
cb.moveText(0,-10);
cb.newlineShowText(rsProv.getString("coname"));
cb.moveText(0,-10);
cb.showText(rsProv.getString("address1"));
cb.endText();
addPhoneNumberstest(rsProv, bfTimesBold, bfTimes, cb, iMargin);
cb.beginText();
cb.setFontAndSize (bfTimesBold, 10);
cb.setTextMatrix(iMargin, 520);
cb.showText("Date Inc.: ");
cb.setFontAndSize (bfTimes, 10);
cb.showText(rsProv.getString("inc_year"));
cb.setFontAndSize (bfTimesBold, 10);
cb.moveText(80,0);
cb.showText("Your firm is a: Sub Div Affil of : ");
cb.setFontAndSize (bfTimes, 10);
cb.showText(s_affsubdiv_text
cb.endText();
cb.beginText();
cb.setTextMatrix(iMargin, 500);
cb.showText("Website:");
cb.moveText(80,0);
cb.showText("Employer ID:");
cb.moveText(-80,-20);
cb.showText("Memberships:");
cb.moveText(0,-20);
cb.endText();
//The following line breaks when used here
print_box(cb, 10, 460, bfTimes,"Y");
......??????????????
//Here is the routine to print the box
private static void print_box(PdfContentByte cb, int xpos, int ypos, BaseFont
bfTimes, String yn) {
cb.rectangle(xpos-1 (See http://pos-1.ora-code.com),ypos-2 (See http://pos-2.ora-code.com),10,10);
cb.stroke();
if(yn.length() > 0){
cb.beginText();
cb.setTextMatrix(xpos, ypos);
cb.setFontAndSize (bfTimes, 10);
cb.showText(yn);
cb.endText();
}
}
