Inserting TIF / BMP / GIF into PDF

2007-07-05T17:13:00Z

I would like three new classes---PDtif, PDbmp, and PDgif. These classes should work like PDJpeg. I really hope the constructor is the same (pdfDoc, inputStream).

Identify text rotation angle in TextPosition

2007-05-01T22:40:42Z

Applications that use the TextPosition objects generated by PDFStreamEngine sometimes have to be aware of the text rotation angle so that they can handle text that is not horizontal. For example, we process many PDFs that have vertically-oriented copyright info that appears either next to an image or at the right/left size of the page; this content doesn't extract correctly because it's vertical rather than horizontal. Applications that attempt to join TextPosition objects have difficulty because they cannot currently distinguish between vertical and horizontal text.

Updated PDFText2HTML

2007-04-26T18:13:47Z

Hi Ben,

I was wondering, are you accepting member to the project?

I'm using the PDFBox for importing PDF documents and would need more formatting information that is currently supported by PDFBox. The attached is what I've done so far: handles line breaks, bold, italics. Also added some comment delimiters for page boundaries.

Two things I'll want to handle next are:

1. Underline
2. Subscripts and superscripts

Later on, I'll want to also handle the following:

1. Images
2. Hyperlinks
3. Tables (I know this might be hard)

I'll need all the help I can get in the form of pointers and clues.

I look forward to reading from you soon.

Many, many thanks for providing us with a great library.

Regards,

Raimi Rufai

Import a part of a pdf page

2007-04-19T15:14:07Z

It will be great to have the possibility to import a part of a pdf page defined by a rectangle.
Everithing contained in this rectangle (text, immage...) can be copied elsewhere (same or other pdf).
I found a such possibility in the commercial component pdfLib
