Could you kindly help me on how to add a thick black line(thick black bar) in the footer of the particular page in the PDF document?

Hi Anand,

Thanks for contacting support.

In order to add a line in an existing PDF file, please try using the createLine(..) method of the PdfContentEditor class. You can specify any location over the PDF file where you need to draw it.

Java:

PdfContentEditor editor = new PdfContentEditor();
editor.bindPdf("example1.pdf");

Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(50, 50, 200, 200);
Color c = new Color(255, 125, 125);
int[] dashArray = { };
String[] LEArray = { };

editor.createLine(rect, "", 100, 100, 400, 100, 1, 5, "s", dashArray, LEArray, c);
editor.save("example1_Line.pdf");

Hi ,

It would be very helpful if you share exactly how to add the
line at the bottom of the page(Page end) .The line should start from
left end and ends at right most of the page .It should not start from
center or somewhere.Also if you could share the details of what are all
the various fonts that we can display to line that will also be very helpful.

Thanks
Anand

Hi Anand,

In order to add a line 20 points up from the bottom of the page, please try using the following code snippet.

com.aspose.pdf.kit.PdfContentEditor editor = new com.aspose.pdf.kit.PdfContentEditor();
editor.bindPdf("c:/pdftest/AnnotationFile.pdf");

Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(1, 20, (int)new com.aspose.pdf.kit.PdfFileInfo("c:/pdftest/AnnotationFile.pdf").getPageWidth(1), 1);
Color c = new Color(255, 125, 125);
int[] dashArray = {};

String[] LEArray = {};

// create a line starting at (X,Y) where X=1 and Y=20
editor.createLine(rect, "", 1, 20, (int)new com.aspose.pdf.kit.PdfFileInfo("c:/pdftest/AnnotationFile.pdf").getPageWidth(1), 20, 1, 1, "s", dashArray, LEArray, c);

editor.save("c:/pdftest/Line_At_Bottom.pdf");

Now concerning your requirement:
“Also if you could share the details of what are all the various fonts that we can display to line that will also be very helpful.” Can you please share some details regarding this requirement?

Please note that Aspose.Pdf.Kit for Java supports the feature to add Formatted text string with specific font. You may try using any value from FontStyle enumeration. Please take a look over the following code line.

com.aspose.pdf.kit.FormattedText logo2 = new com.aspose.pdf.kit.FormattedText("Aspose.Pdf.Kit", new Color(10, 30, 100), com.aspose.pdf.kit.FontStyle.HelveticaOblique, com.aspose.pdf.kit.EncodingType.Winansi, false, 20);

Hi Anand,


In order to move/shift the contents of PDF file, the appropriate solution will be to increase the Height of PDF pages. But I am afraid the feature to increase the Height of existing pages is currently not supported by Aspose.Pdf.Kit for Java.

Please note Aspose.Pdf for .NET supports the feature to change/update dimensions of pages in existing PDF file and recently we have ported Aspose.Pdf for .NET to Java platform. Currently we are busy testing the new release and as soon as the new version becomes available, you will be able to accomplish your requirement. Please be patient and wait for new autoported release. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Thanks for your inquiry. You can use the resizeContents method for this purpose. The resizeContent method of the PdfFileEditor class allows you to resize the page contents in a PDF file. The ContentsResizeParameters class is used to specify the parameters to be used to resize the page(s), e.g., margins in percentage or units, etc. You can resize all the pages or specify an array of pages to be resized using the resizeContents method.

//Create PdfFileEditor Object
PdfFileEditor fileEditor = new PdfFileEditor();

//Open PDF Document
Document doc = new Document("d:\\input.pdf");

//Specify Parameter to be used for resizing
PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeParameters parameters = new PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeParameters(
    //left margin = 10% of page width
    PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeValue.percents(10),
    //new contents width calculated automatically as width - left margin - right margin (100% - 10% - 10% = 80%)
    null,
    //right margin is 10% of page
    PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeValue.percents(10),
    //top margin = 10% of height
    PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeValue.percents(10),
    //new contents height is calculated automatically (similar to width)
    null,
    //bottom margin is 10%
    PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeValue.percents(10)
);

//Resize Page Contents
fileEditor.resizeContents(doc, new int[] { 1, 2, 3 }, parameters);

//save document into new location.
doc.save("d:\\output.pdf");

I’m afraid this feature is not supported at the moment, as rotating Page rotates contents as well. We’ve logged an enhancement request as PDFNEWNET-36011 in our issue tracking system for further investigation and resolution. We will update you as soon as it’s resolved.

Best Regards,
