PDF creation with images

, ,
1

Hi there,

I am trying to create a PDF inside webMethods and found the helpful package PDFCreator (and it’s samples).

I am required to have images inside the PDF document.

In the PDFCreator sample ‘basicParagraph’ it references a getImage service, however this does not exist in the downloadable PDFCreator package on here (or the old wmusers for that matter).

Does anybody know where a version of the PDFCreator package is that contains this service?

The package version I have is 1.0 however the author (David Vilaverde) may not have versioned the package.

Regards,

David.

@David,

Please explore Apache PDFBox, which seems to have that functionality.

Ref: java - Can't add an image to a pdf using PDFBox - Stack Overflow

HTH.

Thanks,

}

Give the input Report as html string which contains all your texts and images(images with relative path of the server)
and AbsoluteFilename as a “location\filename.pdf” in your server .
Do download itextpdf-5.5.0 and place in <IS\lib\jars>
