如何使用Java和itext从Graphics对象创建包含多个页面的PDF

I have an abstract class with an abstract method draw(Graphics2D g2), and the methods print(), showPreview(), printPDF(). For each document in my Java program, I implement draw(), so I can print, show preview and create a PDF file for each document. My problem is how to create a PDF with multiple pages from that Graphics object. I solved it by creating a PDF file for each page, and then merge the files into one new file. But there must be a better way. I have following code to create PDF with one page:

我有一个抽象类,抽象方法绘制(Graphics2D g2),方法print(),showPreview(),printPDF()。对于我的Java程序中的每个文档,我实现了draw(),因此我可以打印,显示预览并为每个文档创建PDF文件。我的问题是如何使用该Graphics对象创建包含多个页面的PDF。我通过为每个页面创建PDF文件来解决它,然后将文件合并到一个新文件中。但必须有更好的方法。我有以下代码用一页创建PDF:

public void printPDF1(){
    JFileChooser dialog = new JFileChooser();
    String filePath = "";
    int dialogResult = dialog.showSaveDialog(null);
    if (dialogResult==JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){
        filePath = dialog.getSelectedFile().getPath();
    }
    else return;
    try {
        Document document = new Document(new Rectangle(_pageWidth, _pageHeight));
        PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document,
                new FileOutputStream(filePath));
        document.open();

        PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
        g2 = cb.createGraphics(_pageWidth, _height);
        g2.translate(0, (_numberOfPages - _pageNumber) * _pageHeight);
        draw(g2);
        g2.dispose();
        document.close();
    } 
    catch (Exception e2) {
        System.out.println(e2.getMessage());
    }
}

2 个解决方案

#1

    document.open();

    // the same contentByte is returned, it's just flushed & reset during
    // new page events.
    PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();

    for (int _pageNumber = 0; _pageNumber < _numberofPages; ++_numberOfPages) {
      /*******************/
      //harmless in first pass, *necessary* in others
      document.newPage(); 
      /*******************/

      g2 = cb.createGraphics(_pageWidth, _height);
      g2.translate(0, (_numberOfPages - _pageNumber) * _pageHeight);
      draw(g2);
      g2.dispose();
    }

    document.close();

So you're rendering your entire interface N times, and only showing a page-sized slice of it in different locations. That's called "striping" in print-world IIRC. Clever, but it could be more efficient in PDF.

因此,您将整个界面渲染N次,并且仅在不同位置显示页面大小的切片。这在印刷世界IIRC中被称为“条带化”。聪明,但它在PDF中可能更有效率。

Render your entire interface into one huge PdfTemplate (with g2d), once. Then draw that template into all your pages such that the portion you want is visible inside the current page's margins ("media box").

将整个界面渲染为一个巨大的PdfTemplate(使用g2d),一次。然后将该模板绘制到所有页面中,使得您想要的部分在当前页面的边距内可见(“媒体框”)。

PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
float entireHeight = _numberOfPages * _pageHeight;
PdfTemplate hugeTempl = cb.createTemplate( 0, -entireHeight, pageWidth, _pageHeight );
g2 = hugeTempl.createGraphics(0, -entireHeight, _pageWidth, _pageHeight ); 
draw(g2);
g2.dispose();

for (int curPg = 0; curPg < _numberOfPages; ++curPg) {
  cb.addTemplateSimple( hugeTempl, 0, -_pageHeight * curPg );

  document.newPage();
}

PDF's coordinate space sets 0,0 in the lower left corner, and those values increase as you go up and to the right. PdfGraphis2D does a fair amount of magic to hide that difference from you, but we still have to deal with it a bit here... thus the negative coordinates in the bounding box and drawing locations.

PDF的坐标空间在左下角设置为0,0,当您向上和向右时,这些值会增加。 PdfGraphis2D做了相当多的魔术来隐藏与你的区别,但我们仍然需要在这里处理它...因此在边界框和绘图位置的负坐标。

This is all "back of the napkin" coding, and it's entirely possible I've made a mistake or two in there... but that's the idea.

这就是所有“背面的卫生巾”编码,我完全有可能在那里犯了一两个错误......但这就是主意。

I was having trouble following the above code (some of the methods appear to have changed in the current itextpdf version). Here's my solution:

我在遵循上面的代码时遇到了麻烦(某些方法似乎在当前的itextpdf版本中已经改变)。这是我的解决方案:
