I have a JFrame, which i wish to save as a PDF.
How do i paint this JFrame using iText?
public PrintFrameToPDF(JFrame bill) {
try {
Document d = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(d, new FileOutputStream ("sample.pdf"));
d.open ();
// HOW ?
d.close ();
}
catch(Exception e) {
//
}
}
This should do the trick (and it's generic for JComponent object):
public PrintFrameToPDF(JFrame bill) {
try {
Document d = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(d, new FileOutputStream ("sample.pdf"));
d.open ();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent( );
PdfTemplate template = cb.createTemplate(width, height);
Graphics2D g2d = template.createGraphics(width, height);
bill.print(g2d);
bill.addNotify();
bill.validate();
g2d.dispose();
d.close ();
}
catch(Exception e) {
//
}
}
