I have a simple XML
that demonstrates a problem with keeptogether. It doesn't use tables as
does the other example mentioned in this list. The following
XML
<paragraph
indentationleft="20">
paragraph 1
</paragraph>
<paragraph keeptogether="true" indentationleft="20">
paragraph
2
</paragraph>
<paragraph
indentationleft="20">
paragraph 3
</paragraph>
produces
paragraph
1
paragraph 2
paragraph 3
If I put
keeptogethers on all the paragraphs or remove them completely, all of the
paragraphs indent correctly.
I'm using a simple
JSP to display the PDF. Here it is:
<%@ page
import="java.io.*" %>
<%@ page import="com.lowagie.text.*"
%>
<%@ page import="com.lowagie.text.pdf.*" %>
<%@ page
import="com.lowagie.text.xml.*" %>
<%@ page
import="javax.xml.parsers.*" %>
<%
final
String TEMPLATE_START = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"
?><itext>";
final String TEMPLATE_END =
"</itext>";
// this java will
only execute if there is a piece of text in the
// form parameter.
String
text = request.getParameter("text");
if (text != null) {
String
templateText = TEMPLATE_START + text + TEMPLATE_END;
char[] buf =
templateText.toCharArray();
CharArrayReader reader = new
CharArrayReader(buf);
OutputStream oStream =
response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
out.clear();
Document document = new
Document(PageSize.LETTER, 80, 50, 30, 65);
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, oStream);
SAXParser parser
= SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
parser.parse(new org.xml.sax.InputSource(reader), new
SAXiTextHandler(document));
return;
} // if text passed
in
%>
<html><body>
<form name="f"
action="xmlTest.jsp" method="get">
<p>Test PDF
using iText XML<br>
<textarea name="text"
cols="80"
rows="20"></textarea><br>
<input
type="submit"/>
</form>
</body></html>
Any
suggestions?
