Synopsis
Imagine a publisher who wants to “stamp” his ebooks on the fly with the name
of the buyer (to discourage sharing). Such a publisher would (and we know one
who does) use iText for the task. Developers looking to enhance web- and other
applications with dynamic PDF document generation and/or manipulation will
find this book unique in content
and readability. Based on ongoing examples
that encourage learning “in action,” they will finally understand PDF and learn
how to build applications that produce professional, high-quality PDF
documents. While the basic functionality of iText is easy to acquire, this book
lowers the learning curve for more advanced functionality. It explains how to use
iText to create/manipulate PDF documents on-the-fly in one or more of the
following situations:
• Due to time or size, the PDF documents can’t be produced manually.
• The content of the document must be calculated or based on user input.
• The content needs to be customized or personalized.
• The PDF content needs to be served in a web environment.
• Documents are to be created in “batch process” mode.
All the examples are written in Java, but they can be easily adapted to .NET by
developers using one of the .NET ports: iTextSharp (C#) or iText.NET (#J).
While iText is a free Java library and the examples are written from the point of
view of the Java developer, nine out of ten examples can be run by .NET developers
without any changes.
