I am trying to convert this Word document with a header showing an image on the right
http://www.filesnack.com/files/cduiejc7
to PDF using this sample code:
https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/master/src/samples/docx4j/org/docx4j/samples/ConvertOutPDF.java
Here's the result:
http://www.filesnack.com/files/ctjs659h
While the Word document has the header image on the right, the converted PDF shows it on the left.
How can I make docx4j to reproduce the original document as PDF?
Your image is positioned relative to a paragraph:
<w:drawing>
<wp:anchor distT="0" distB="0" distL="114300" distR="114300" simplePos="0" relativeHeight="251658240" behindDoc="0" locked="0" layoutInCell="1" allowOverlap="1" wp14:anchorId="791936E3" wp14:editId="575B92C8">
<wp:simplePos x="0" y="0"/>
<wp:positionH relativeFrom="column">
<wp:posOffset>5317388</wp:posOffset>
</wp:positionH>
<wp:positionV relativeFrom="paragraph">
<wp:posOffset>-325755</wp:posOffset>
</wp:positionV>
docx4j potential to support stuff like that in PDF output is limited by what XSL FO supports. See docx4j's TextBoxTest class for what we can do with text boxes.
Currently, although we can position some textBoxes; we don't do the same for floating images: https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/issues/127
In the meantime, a possible workaround for some cases (eg float right) is to use a table.
Or possibly, you could try putting the image inside a text box!

I have a markdown document that I wish to output in pdf format. I cannot find a way to format the images correctly.
If I use
<center><img src="_images/parameter_form.png" alt="Select Parameters" width="400"></center>
I works perfectly with make html, but with make latexpdf the image does not appear at all.
If I use (based on this stack overflow answer)
 { width=400 }
The images is not sized and the format string { width=400 } appears in the text
What am I doing wrcng?
The answer is to use MyST. This Sphinx parser allows a richer syntax in markdown and specifically the image tag
```{image} _images/parameter_form.png
:alt: Select Parameters
:width: 400px
:align: center
```
Perfect!

FOP 1.1
Question: Is there any condition to find the position of a text-block in on PDF page.
This is the problem:
I need to change the formatting of a title-block depending on its position on the page.
If the title-block appears somewhere in the (vertical) middle of the page, I want to add a line on top of it.
if the title-block appears at the beginning/top of a page the line must not appear
Does XSL-FO have a way to do that?
From http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xsl-fo/2015Sep/0002.html:
I used a white background on the
fo:region-before and a negative margin on the title to 'push' the
'border-before' of the title under the fo:region-before.
This requires that the FO processor supports negative values of
'margin-top', which is allowed but not required (http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#margin-top). It also requires
that the FO processor will 'paint' the fo:region-before after painting
the fo:region-body.
I'm using Docx4J to make an invoice model.
In the left-side of the page, it's usual to show a legal sentence as: Registered company in ... Book ... Page ...
I have inserted this in my template with a Word text frame.
Well, my issue is: when exporting to .docx, this legal text is shown perfect, but when exporting to .pdf, it's shown as an horizontal table under the other data.
The code to export to PDF is:
FOSettings foSettings = Docx4J.createFOSettings();
foSettings.setFoDumpFile(foDumpFile);
foSettings.setWmlPackage(template);
fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("/C:/mypath/prueba_OUT.pdf"));
Docx4J.toFO(foSettings, fos, Docx4J.FLAG_EXPORT_PREFER_XSL);
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
You'd need to extend the PDF via FO code; see further How to correctly position a header image with docx4j?
Float left may or may not be easy; similarly the rotated text.
In general, the way to work on this is to take the FO generated by docx4j, then hand edit it to something which FOP can convert to a PDF you are happy with. If you can do that, then its a matter of modifying docx4j to generate that FO.
When i saved a native Dynamics AX 2009 report as pdf or pdf-embed it doesn't show the images in the report i.e. company logo in header section, properly. The image comes very distorted, grayish and repeated.
On the other if i export the image in HTML format the image comes properly.
Had anyone experience a similar issue.
Please note that im saving the report as pdf using "file" option that comes when the report print dialog opens.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Issue will go if the image format used is one of the following
1. 24bit Bitmap
2. TIFF
I have found a solution for this issue in AX 2009:
Bitmap getImageBitmap(ItemId _itemId)
{
HPLInventImages inventImages; // Column HPLInventImages.ItemImage is EDT:BlobData (which is a container)
Image image;
;
if (!_itemId) return inventImages.ItemImage; // Return null bitmap. The whole AX client crashes if you try to do the resizing code below on a null bitmap.
select firstonly inventImages where inventImages.ItemId==_itemId;
//return inventImages.ItemImage; // Would normally just do this, but see comments below.
// Ok, this next bit is weird!
// There is a known issue with AX reports with images in, getting saved as PDFs:
// In some cases, the images appear as garbage on the PDF.
// I have found that resizing the image before rendering it, causes the image to come out ok on the PDF.
// So the code below does a token resize (by 1.0 times!) operation on the image before returning it.
// That is enough to make the image on the PDF turn out ok.
image=new Image(inventImages.ItemImage);
image.resize(image.width()*1.0,image.height()*1.0,InterpolationMode::InterpolationModeHighQuality);
return image.getData();
}
Is there any tool to find the X-Y location on a text content in a pdf file ?
Docotic.Pdf Library can do it. See C# sample below:
using (PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument("your_pdf.pdf"))
{
foreach (PdfTextData textData in doc.Pages[0].Canvas.GetTextData())
Console.WriteLine(textData.Position + " " + textData.Text);
}
Try running "Preflight..." in Acrobat and choosing PDF Analysis -> List page objects, grouped by type of object.
If you locate the text objects within the results list, you will notice there is a position value (in points) within the Text Properties -> * Font section.
TET, the Text Extraction Toolkit from the pdflib family of products can do that. TET has a commandline interface, and it's the most powerful of all text extraction tools I'm aware of. (It can even handle ligatures...)
Geometry
TET provides precise metrics for the text, such as the position on the page, glyph widths, and text direction. Specific areas on the page can be excluded or included in the text extraction, e.g. to ignore headers and footers or margins.
