Hi guys,
In this blog i am going to show one of example that how to create a multiple pdf page in pdf document with the footer where you generating pdf using open source java library "pdfBox". That footer should contain document name in each page , current page number and total pages in document.
First declare some constant where you can have static font size , padding size of bottom of the document.Like below code snippet.
// Hold the report font size.
private final static float FONT_SIZE = 10f;
// Hold the initial x position.
private final static float X0 = 5f;
// Hold the padding bottom of the document.
private final static float PADDING_BOTTOM_OF_DOCUMENT = 30f;
Then create a method to create document object and add some pages to that .I have created a separate method for that.Its like below code snippet.
// create empty document.
doc = new PDDocument();
// create fist page.
PDPage page = new PDPage();
page.setMediaBox(PDPage.PAGE_SIZE_A4);
doc.addPage(page);
Then create a PDPageContentStream Object to set the page x and y cordinates , font size and type.And also should remember is , before you write any text to page , you have to call the beginText() off the PDPageContentStream object.Its like blow code snippet.
contentStream = new PDPageContentStream(doc, page);
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.setFont(PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD, FONT_SIZE);
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(5, 800);
contentStream.drawString("Siva's Test page one");
contentStream.endText();
contentStream.close();
thats it .your done . now you can save the document by specifying the file name and the location to where to save by calling the document save() method.
doc.save(new FileOutputStream(new File("C://siva//SivaTestPDfWithMultiPage.pdf")));
you can see the full code in below.
thank and enjoy the programming !!!!!!!
