I don't know why you don't like Itext[^]? Anyway there is no simple way to do it unless you want to implement it your self. A nice article to read here in codeproject utilizes PDF Generation using XSLFO and FOP[^] but if I where you I would stick to Itext a simple example:

import java.awt.*;
import com.lowagie.text.*;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.zip.*;

public class TextToPDF{
  public static void main(String arg[]){
    try{
      InputStreamReader in= new InputStreamReader(System.in);
      BufferedReader bin= new BufferedReader(in);
      System.out.println("Enter text:");
        String text=bin.readLine();
        Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 36, 72, 108, 180);
        PdfWriter.getInstance(document,new FileOutputStream("pdfFile.pdf"));
        document.open();
        document.add(new Paragraph(text));
        System.out.println("Text is inserted into pdf file");
        document.close();
    }catch(Exception e){}
  }
}

18 lines of code what do you think? Better than 16+ don't you think?

Regards

You need to understand that this does not create a PDF file. The extension of "pdf" means nothing to Java or to Windows/UNIX, it is merely a convention for humans to recognise the type of file, but the application still has to do the work to create the file.

The definition of DataOutputStream.writeChars() states that it Writes a string to the underlying output stream as a sequence of characters. The structure of a PDF file is much more complex than this (see the specifications on the Adobe web site). The easiest way to achieve your objective is use the tools that are available.

you can use Apache FOP without having to learn XSL-FO or complex API. Just put the data you want convert in a XML file and use this XSL FO generator to create the PDF file.

Hi Everybody !

eSpeak[^]

To use it in a Java application just call the Runtime.getRuntime.exec("command"); where command is what you want to hear. Example command might be cmd.exe /C %path of espeak%\\espeak "This is a test"

Good luck

Hi Member!

I've got the c++ source from the link you gave.

But when i compile(Using BorlandC), the compiler couldn't find two file:

getopt.h
speak_lib.h

i try to found these file in source, there no file name identical those.

How can i compile this code and which tool diffrent from BorlandC,...

I don't want to use the setup_espeak.exe because i just want to embed the exe file into my java app and the relative resource. So user needn't to setup this file.

Thanks regards!

Hi Everybody !

I found Jespeak.

I set the build path to the jespeak-0.2-alpha.jar

but when run the program, i got this Error:

Jespeak is not fully implemented yet thats why I referd you to espeak. Correct me if I am wrong but cant you include the espeak file in your application and call it from there by Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\eSpeak\\command_line\\espeak.exe \"This is a test\""); ?

Hi member !

I knew the command to execute the espeak with the agruments.

(By the way, i want to ask you about the command you gave,
1.which language espeak will speak?
2.If i want espeak speack read german or french, with command argument for the language?
)

But i download the setup_espeak.exe, so if i want to use the espeak.exe i must install it.

So, i want the espeak.exe stard alone to embed into my app that the users who will use my app needn't install setup_espeak.exe.

You can read this link for more info:
http://espeak.sourceforge.net/commands.html[^]

# speak is a stand-alone version which includes its own copy of the speech engine.

Where can i download it.
Thanks and regards

1. English
2. You need to follow the steps mentioned in the mbrola.html which is available under docs.
3. Yes only you need to install it then copy the espeak file to your Java project folder after you done step 2. There you can call the exe from Java and when you want to deploy include the file with Jar thats it.

Good luck

I need to create a method that reads in bytes until it reaches a nullterminator using FileInputStream. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I make simple

1. i have to submit Hindi(Unicode format) news in MS Access database through the web page developed using (JAVA,STRUTS)

2. i have to display these news on the JSP/Struts-Action pages.

I tried
String sFieldName=new String(bean.getFieldName().getBytes,"UTF-8"));
and
String sFieldName=new String(bean.getFieldName().getBytes,"ISO-8859-1"));
and
String sFieldName=new String(bean.getFieldName().getBytes,"utf-8"));
and
String sFieldName=new String(bean.getFieldName().getBytes,"iso-8859-1"));

but i did not get success.

can somebody help me

POI ShrinkToFit

This is a long shot, but does anyone know how to set the ShrinkToFit property for an Excel Cell or CellStyle and apply it in POI?

Using HSSFCellStyle and HSSFFont[^]

Then set the style to:

ExtendedFormatRecord r =new ExtendedFormatRecord();
r.setShrinkToFit(true);

Good luck

Thanks. I'd actually got thar far recently after hours of searching through namespaces/classes... what I can't figure out is how to apply the ExtendedFormatRecord to an existing CellStyle.

Hi David, Nevermind the first solution you can use the Java Excel API [^]

import java.io.*; 
import jxl.*; 
import jxl.write.*;

public class ShrinkToFitExample 
{
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
	{
		WritableWorkbook workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(new File("output.xls"));
		WritableSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("First Sheet", 0);
		WritableCellFormat arial10format = new WritableCellFormat(); 
		arial10format.setShrinkToFit(true);
		Label label2 = new Label(1,0, "demo Text", arial10format); 
		sheet.addCell(label2);
		workbook.write(); 
		workbook.close();
	}
}

Unfortunately, I have to use POI - I'm actually not using Java but C#.

I'm using NPOI which is a port of the Java POI to .NET. I asked here because it is a direct port of the Java solution so should work identically (assuming there isn't a bug or ommision in the port). NPOI isn't widely used yet so there's no one to ask in the C# world!

Thanks for the time and trouble you've gone to anyway Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

POI ShrinkToFit Solution

DaveyM6926-Sep-09 7:37

Re: POI ShrinkToFit Solution

26-Sep-09 7:37

I've just found the solution!

HSSFCellStyle doesn't have a property ShrinkToFit or SetShrinkToFit method. I created a property that gets/sets the internal ExternalFormatRecord.ShrinkToFit property. To be successful, it also needs to set the ExternalFormatRecord.XFType to XF_CELL.

C# solution:

public bool ShrinkToFit
{
    get
    {
        return format.ShrinkToFit;
    }
    set
    {
        // Not sure if this line is necessary
        format.IsIndentNotParentAlignment = (true);
        format.ShrinkToFit = (value);
        /* Not sure of the consequences of changing the XFType,
         * but shrink to fit only works on XF_CELL */
        format.XFType = ExtendedFormatRecord.XF_CELL;
    }
}

Re: POI ShrinkToFit Solution

28-Sep-09 1:43

Hi David, you gave me a push to actually do it in Java so I asked Tony from NOPI project and he added the shrink property to HSSFCellStyle[^]. The new Solution would be:

// In C#
HSSFCellStyle cellstyle1 = hssfworkbook.CreateCellStyle();
cellstyle1.ShrinkToFit = true;

// In Java
HSSFCellStyle style = workbook.createCellStyle();
style.setShrinkToFit(true);

To do the same in Java POI I added the shrinktofit property to the HSSFCellStyle and recompiled the library:
Link[^] All you need to do is overwrite the same jar in the poi-bin-3.5-beta6-20090622.zip[^] folder.

Thanks and Regards to you all
