I have tried passing the two parameters to a two-argument constructor but it keeps failing.  I googled for the answer for 6 hours now but have not gotten any closer.  Can any see what I am doing wrong on the last line right before the error?

-----------------------------------
require 'rjb' # Version 1.0.11
Rjb::load(RAILS_ROOT + '/java/lib/iText-2.0.7.jar')

@byteArrayOutputStream = Rjb::import('java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream')
@acroFields = Rjb::import('com.lowagie.text.pdf.AcroFields')
@pdfReader  = Rjb::import('com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader')
@pdfStamper = Rjb::import('com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper')      
@pdfFormField = Rjb::import('com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfFormField')

@baos    = @byteArrayOutputStream.new
@reader  = @pdfReader.new_with_sig('Ljava.lang.String;', RAILS_ROOT + '/java/data/regform.pdf')
@stamper = @pdfStamper.new_with_sig("Lcom.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;Ljava.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;", @reader, @baos)

RuntimeError: Constructor not found
        from (irb):12:in `new_with_sig'
        from (irb):12
----------------------------------

Thanks,

Hi,

The new_with_sig method requires the exact signature.
According with http://www.docjar.com/html/api/com/lowagie/text/pdf/PdfStamper.java.html,
The constructor of PdfStamper is :
public PdfStamper(PdfReader reader, OutputStream os) throws DocumentException, IOException;
So you can write this as 
@stamper = @pdfStamper.new_with_sig("Lcom.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;Ljava.io.OutputStream;", @reader, @baos);

Cheers

arton

Thank you very much Arton.  It is hard to beleive that after 6 hours I did not try that one and it should have been obvious :-)

Message-ID: <17877523.8671197527841880.JavaMail.root@pyramid.gbdev.com>

Is anyone else using RJB and iText to fill PDFs successfully?  I have a pdf that I created in Adobe Acrobat Professional with 3 text fields (Name, Age and Dog) with some additional text on the page.  When I run the following code it generates a pdf with the fields filled in but the other text that I placed on the form is gone.

----------------------------------------
require 'rjb' # Version 1.0.11
Rjb::load(RAILS_ROOT + '/java/lib/iText-2.0.7.jar')

@byteArrayOutputStream = Rjb::import('java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream')
@acroFields = Rjb::import('com.lowagie.text.pdf.AcroFields')
@pdfReader  = Rjb::import('com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader')
@pdfStamper = Rjb::import('com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfStamper')      
@pdfFormField = Rjb::import('com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfFormField')

@baos    = @byteArrayOutputStream.new
@reader  = @pdfReader.new_with_sig('Ljava.lang.String;', RAILS_ROOT + '/java/data/regform2.pdf')
@stamper = @pdfStamper.new_with_sig("Lcom.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;Ljava.io.OutputStream;", @reader, @baos)
@form    = @stamper.getAcroFields()

@stamper.close

f = File.new(RAILS_ROOT + '/java/data/regform_ruby2.pdf', "w")
f.syswrite @baos.toString
f.close

I have a gem on rubyforge that does this.

http://rubyforge.org/projects/pdf-stamper/

I'd suggest you checkout the lastest and greastest from svn.

svn checkout http://pdf-stamper.rubyforge.org/svn/

require 'pdf/stamper/rjb'

pdf = PDF::Stamper.new('test.pdf')
pdf.text :name, "Jason"
odf.image :photo "photo.jpg"
pdf.save_as "output.pdf"

or for rails

send_data(pdf.to_s, :filename => "output.pdf", :type =>
"application/pdf",:disposition => "inline")

yuichiro,

Thanks for the reply. I looked into your code vs my code the the main differences is the libraries you are including, which makes sense now that I think more about it.

I also bought the iText book to get a better understanding of what iText can do.  Again, thanks for your help.

Regards,
-Wes

Jason,

Thanks for your reply.  I came across your gem a few days ago but because the activity was low, there was no website or forum with questions/answers it appeared that this was not maintained project.

However, I am glad to see that it is an active project!!  I started working on a class similar to yours a week ago but I am glad to look at what I have done as a learning experience and use your gem instead. 

I do have a lot of experience in Java, Ruby/Rails and PHP (over the past couple years it has been mainly rails) so if there is anything you would like help with to get this gem to 1.0 status I would be happy to help.  

Here is more about me and my skill set http://www.linkedin.com/in/wesleyhays if you are interested in the help.

Regards,
-Wes
