Description

This PDF Creation Listener parses meta data elements from an (X)HTML document and appends them to the info dictionary of a PDF document.

The XHTML document is parsed for relevant PDF meta data during construction, then adds the meta data to the PDF document when the PDF document is closed by the calling ITextRenderer.

Valid (X)HTML tags are:

  • TITLE

Valid (X)HTML meta tag attribute names are:

  • TITLE (optional), DC.TITLE
  • CREATOR, AUTHOR, DC.CREATOR
  • SUBJECT, DC.SUBJECT
  • KEYWORDS

Valid PDF meta names are defined in Adobe's PDF Reference (Sixth Edition), section "10.2.1 - Document Information Dictionary", table 10.2, pg.844 ...

Usage

// Setup output stream
OutputStream outputStream = ...

// Create W3C document model
Document doc = ...

// Create new PDF renderer
ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();

// Add PDF creation listener
PDFCreationListener pdfCreationListener = new XHtmlMetaToPdfInfoAdapter( doc );
renderer.setListener( pdfCreationListener);

// Add W3C document to renderer
renderer.setDocument( doc, null );

// Layout PDF document
renderer.layout();

// Write PDF document
renderer.createPDF( outputStream, true );
