Bruno Lowagie commented on DOXIA-53:


This is a very old thread.

In march 2006, I was overloaded with work, writing the book on iText.
I remember studying an APT to PDF convertor, but I never found the time to 
write one.

If you want to use iText to convert a wiki to PDF, I see different alternatives:

We have a developer who is currently working on better HTML to PDF and RTF
conversion in iText (his name is Howard Shank).

Another possibility would be to 'resurrect' the old XmlToPdf stuff in a 
separate jar
(the code is still out there in the SVN repository).

If you need any further input from me, please send a mail to the iText 
mailing-list:

I have copied Xavier's bundle to itext.ugent.be
Xavier has updated the build process, so this will automatically be OK in the 
next release.
Note that sourceforge doesn't allow us to host files through HTTP.
Xavier, can you remove the file once everything is OK?

 Key: MAVENUPLOAD-2003

  Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Bruno Lowagie


When I posted the initial upload request for iText 2.1.0:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-1986

I wasn't aware that there were 2 problems:
- iText uses BouncyCastle jars version 138 and the most recent BC version in 
maven is 136
  see also: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-1999
- worse: apparently the iText.jar was overwritten by the iText-RUPS.jar
  when making the bundle.

More and more people are mailing me because of these problems,
so I've made new jars and bundles here: http://itext.ugent.be/library/maven/

Bruno Lowagie commented on DOXIA-53:


I'm writing my second book about iText, and I still have my dayjob (to pay the 
bills), so currently I don't have much time.

I guess that your question is about the XmlWriter and different Xml2Pdf 
classes. They used to work in the past, but as described in my first book: 
there are better ways to do it. As I suggested a year ago (I'm surprised I had 
the time to answer back then, because that was when my son had Cancer and a 
week before I got ill myself), you could 'resurrect' the XML package, but when 
I look at your patch, it contains several RTF files that seem irrelevant. That 
confuses me. The RTF package is still present in iText, why the need for those 
files in your patch?

Also I have never heard of the ITextSinkTestCase. Please prepare a small jar 
with ONLY the XML package and a small standalone example that reproduces the 
problem. Then send a mail to the iText mailing list 
itext-questi...@lists.sourceforge.net and explain the problem there.

[jira] Created: (MNG-2162) update iText @ iBiblio

2006-03-21 Thread Bruno Lowagie (JIRA)
update iText @ iBiblio
--

 Key: MNG-2162
 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2162
 Project: Maven 2
Type: Wish

 Environment: Any
Reporter: Bruno Lowagie
Priority: Trivial
 Attachments: pom.xml

I am the project manager of iText, a free Java-PDF library ( 
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ ).
I often get the remark that the iText version offered at iBiblio is obsolete.
For instance: the most recent version at 
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/itext/itext/ is iText1.3.
In the meanwhile we've release 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7 
and 1.4.
Who updates iBiblio? Who adds new releases of software to iBiblio? Can I do 
this myself?

This was my main question.

Furthermore I have spent four days trying to Mavenize iText.
I wrote my own POM (because the POM at iBiblio is very incomplete); see 
attachment.
I won't list all the issues I encountered, just the two main showstoppers:

Making the JAR:
I need to include AFM (Adobe Font Metrics) files and the license TXT files into 
the jar.
I see this is a frequently asked (but never answered?) question.
I assume I have to add some exclude/include tag inside the  tag, but I 
didn't find any example on how to do this.
Also when I create a jar with a manifest file manually, I get an executable jar;
when I use the POM, a manifest file is created (with extra rubbish), but the 
jar isn't executable.
(I tried to copy/paste an example POM with a manifestFile tag, but that tag 
wasn't recognized and gave an error.)

Generating the SITE:
I wanted to customize the site that is generated. I was able to change the CSS, 
I was able to add links, a menu with items;
I did all kinds of cool but useless stuff, but I was not able to add for 
instance a Java Script sequence for Google Ads,
I was not able to add Javascript refering to Amazon books, I was not able to 
build a site that looks the way I want it to look.

Unfortunately I can't afford to spend more time on Maven, so I'm not expecting 
an answer on these issues.
I'm only asking if and how my library can be updated so that Maven users get 
the most recent version of iText.
br,
Bruno

Bruno Lowagie commented on MNG-2162:


The previous comment talks about the link to issue MASSEMBLY-74.
In the meanwhile I have found out that the jar isn't executable because a 
properties file that is supposed to be in the jar is missing.
So as soon as I find out how to include files other than *.class into the jar, 
I could also solve this problem.

Bruno Lowagie commented on MNG-2162:


That's interesting stuff, thanks!
I kept on turning in circles in the docs; always returning to the pages I had 
already read, not finding the information I needed. I don't have much time for 
the moment, but I'll update this page as soon as I made some progress.

[jira] Commented: (DOXIA-53) Pdf and Rtf support with the iText framework

2006-03-23 Thread Bruno Lowagie (JIRA)
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DOXIA-53?page=comments#action_61760 ] 

Bruno Lowagie commented on DOXIA-53:


I'll take a look at the files you have attached to this post.
Note that support for iText XML generation has been discontinued.
I do have plans to study the Wiki2PDF functionality that is inside the Eclipse 
plug-in plog4u.
Maybe I'll adapt it into an APT2PDF package.

[jira] Created: (MAVENUPLOAD-790) iText, a free Java-PDF library

iText, a free Java-PDF library
--

 Key: MAVENUPLOAD-790
 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-790
 Project: maven-upload-requests
Type: Task

Reporter: Bruno Lowagie


iText is a free Java-PDF library.
Some older versions of iText are already present on iBiblio:
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/itext/itext/
I don't know who uploaded these old version, but for the most recent iText 
version,
I would like to use the newer naming conventions (see POM) so that the URL 
looks like this:
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/com/lowagie/itext/
