iText 2.1.2 is released

[Bruno Lowagie (iText)]

Hello,

I've just released iText 2.1.2.

As asked on the mailing list, there is now OCG support for PdfStamper;
there's also functionality that allows you to create TOCs like this

Chapter 1.....................p 1
Chapter 2....................p 10

in a more elegant way as announced a couple of weeks ago.

Furthermore, we've introduced the concept of Tab Chunks, support
for utf32 in TrueType fonts, and much more.

For more information, read:
http://1t3xt.com/downloads/binaries.php and

br,
Bruno

Has anyone built a class to parse and convert a EML file to a PDF?

 

Just curious, before I "reinvent the wheel".

 

Thanks,

AJ

I started writing a mailbox parser a while ago:
http://itext.ugent.be/wiki/examples/src/com/lowagie/collections/mail/
but it's not finished (for instance: the HTML in a mail can be
really ugly and HTMLWorker chokes on it).

You can find more information about my initial goal here:
http://www.lowagie.com/itextwiki/doku.php/collections:mail
Note that the Base64 is not needed anymore, there's a similar
class in the current iText distribution.

Maybe you can start from my code and see how far you get.
I'm very interested to cooperate in the process, but if you're
following my blog, you know that I don't have that much time
for the moment. Nevertheless, if you want to share the code,
I'd be glad to help you out taking some iText or PDF specific
hurdles.

br,
Bruno

Is it that HTMLWorker can only handle a subset of all the "legitimate" HTML tags at this time, or is it non-well-formed HTML that causes it grief?  We can "tidy" the HTML in a pre-processing-method if that's what is required.

 

I will take a look and see if I can move this forward a little.

 

Thanks,

AJ

Unfortunately it's a little bit of both (as far as I remember).

Yes, that was what I intended to do. Unfortunately I didn't find
any sponsors for such a project. I remember I asked Google because
it would be great if Google mail had an option to get your mailbox
as a PDF collection, but Chris DiBona treated me as if I was garbage,
so I didn't ask any further.

Bruno
