Re: Pdf and richtext item

If the PDF design is simple enough, you can create the whole PDF "on the fly".

See this video here http://notesin9.com/index.php/2011/10/23/notesin9-ee-012-creating-pdfs-from-xpages/

I think they even share an example of how to add content from HTML?

Re: Pdf and richtext item

Hi ..I have used this Enkory solutions:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

importPackage(com.itextpdf);

importPackage(java.io);

try{
var con = facesContext.getExternalContext();
var response:com.ibm.xsp.webapp.XspHttpServletResponse = con.getResponse();

response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setDateHeader("Expires", -1);
response.setHeader( "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"test.pdf\"" );

var newPDF:com.itextpdf.text.Document = new com.itextpdf.text.Document();
var writer = com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter.getInstance(newPDF,response.getOutputStream());
var htmlWorker = new com.itextpdf.text.html.simpleparser.HTMLWorker(newPDF);

newPDF.open();
newPDF.addAuthor("xxxx");
newPDF.addCreationDate();
newPDF.addCreator("IBM Lotus Domino V8.5.3 :iText Library");
newPDF.addTitle("PDF Demo");

var str=getComponent("RICHTEXTFIELD").getValue().toString();
htmlWorker.parse(new java.io.StringReader(str));
// Finish
newPDF.close();
writer.close();
facesContext.responseComplete();
}
catch(e)
{
log.logError( e.toString(), null, e ); //Write in OpenLog

}

But I have problem to convert Font on my RichText into PDF ?

Now I see flying-saucer

I tried also the flyingsaucer but didn't manage it to work propertly - it requires pure DHTML and as far as I know, Domino does not provide pure DHTML. I studied it only during one day and gave up. The idea in that project is great.

Re: Pdf and richtext item SOLVED!

I'have found a SOLUTIONS!!!

Is need this JAR...XMLWORKER.JAR

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlworker/

Now the fonts style work very vell!!!

But Now I need to understand how transcoding URL Image Uploaded in CKeditor..because the URL CHANGE for every user:

For example:

/hostname/xsp/.ibmmodres/persistence/DominoDoc-33-Body/ManageError_1322230051777.jpeg

Re: Pdf and richtext item

Too bad that it requires the iText version 5.1.2. That version of iText has a bit "aggressive" open source license (AGPL if I remember it correctly).

The PDF Exporter Custom Control (openntf) is based on the older iText version 2.1.7 which uses MPL/LGPL license.
