Example usage


The use of the PDFGenerator component is quite simple - with only a few lines of code is possible to generate and convert practically any Docx document to PDF and if needed add custom headers, footers, page numbers etc.

If your document contains special fonts, characters or symbols you should set the characters set to UTF-8 using the following method - pdfGenerator.setCharset("utf-8"); - this will also generate PDF/A compliant file. Here are some examples:

Convert Word Docx to PDF in Java from URL to java.io.File

This method will convert the Docx to PDF and will generate the file using the standard page format string such as "A4", "Letter" etc. and and save the file to the specified OutputStream or File and page orientation such as "Portrait" or "Landscape". You can also set the page margins using the method setMarginsForStandardPageFormat. The destinationFile parameter is a java.io.File object:

import sferyx.administration.pdfgenerator.*;

PDFGenerator pdfGenerator=new PDFGenerator();
pdfGenerator.setMarginsForStandardPageFormat (10,10,10,10);
pdfGenerator.setCharset ("utf-8"); Will embed all fonts and generate PDF/A compliant file and will add support for non-latin languages.
pdfGenerator.generatePDFFromDocxURL ("http://your_url_here.docx", destinationFile, "Letter", "Portrait");

or using the file name as String:

 

import sferyx.administration.pdfgenerator.*;

PDFGenerator pdfGenerator=new PDFGenerator();
pdfGenerator.setMarginsForStandardPageFormat (10,10,10,10);
pdfGenerator.setCharset ("utf-8"); Will embed all fonts and generate PDF/A compliant file and will add support for non-latin languages.
pdfGenerator.generatePDFFromDocxURL ("http://your_url_here.docx", "c:/pdfgenerator-test1.pdf", "A4", "Portrait");

Convert Word Docx to PDF in Java from URL to java.io.OutputStream

It will convert the specified Docx document to PDF using the standard page format string such as "A4", "Letter" etc. and and save it to the specified OutputStream and page orientation such as "Portrait" or "Landscape". You can also set the page margins using the method setMarginsForStandardPageFormat. This method will recognize automatically if the document is HTML, Docx, RTF, TXT or image and will convert it accordingly. To use this automatic conversion the URL must end with the corresponding extension like docx, txt, rtx, jpeg, gif, png etc.

 

pdfGenerator.generatePDFFromURL ("http://your_url_here/file.docx", destinationStream, "Letter", "Portrait");


If you want to include automatically all TTF fonts inside the PDF/A document or you are using non western languages or special characters you should use the following method:

 

pdfGenerator.setCharset ("utf-8");


For generation of documents in Chinese language use the following setting:

 

pdfGenerator.setCharset ("ISO-10646-UCS-2");
