java - Highlevel interface to PDF-Generation -


i need generate pdf-documents java. i've tried itextpdf, , apachepdfbox. have impression, these libraries possible things pdf.

but have few requirements:

  • create pdf-document scratch
  • add chapters having title
  • adding plain text chapter
  • adding text html chapter
  • adding image chapter, being scaled fit if needed
  • adding table chapter
  • create header , footer
  • having background image

there quite learning curve these things libraries mentioned above. i'm dreaming of high level api making life easier, having these few methods:

  • createchapter(string title)
  • addplaintext(chapter chapter,string text)
  • addhtml(chapter chapter,string html)
  • addimage(chapter chapter,byte[] bytes) (because it's coming out of db)
  • addtable(chapter chapter, tablemodel table)
  • addheader(headerfootermodel header)
  • addfooter(headerfootermodel footer)
  • addbackgroundimage(chapter chapter,byte[] bytes)

is there available? cool , safe time.

following class great start @ having high level api itext. implemented of methods requested. remainder left challenge reader.

you can call facade work you.

    file outputfile = new file(system.getproperty("user.home"), "output.pdf");      itextfordummiesfacade facade = new itextfordummiesfacade(outputfile);     facade.createchapter("chapter 1");     facade.addplaintext("chapter 1","lorem ipsum dummy text of printing , typesetting industry. lorem ipsum has been industry's standard dummy text ever since 1500s, when unknown printer took galley of type , scrambled make type specimen book. has survived not 5 centuries, leap electronic typesetting, remaining unchanged. popularised in 1960s release of letraset sheets containing lorem ipsum passages, , more desktop publishing software aldus pagemaker including versions of lorem ipsum.");     facade.close();

Add a dynamic header in angular 2 http provider -

i have http interceptor built via tutorial https://scotch.io/@kashyapmukkamala/using-http-interceptor-with-angular2 the problem need have dynamic header changes automatically once changes 'mode' in app. service able tell interceptor change header, or have interceptor pull header (which string)from service each request. able throwing away patch method, call http.patch('new header string') set header string. call in service controls 'mode' setting. wondering if there way interceptor pull recent value service each request or if can add method http provider via interceptor? i've tried call service in interceptor each request returns undefined. because creating new instance of service or copying value before service fired , loaded/changed data. i don't want pass header string every http provider call because defeats purpose of having interceptor, id able set once changes or have provider fetch service before makes request. tl;dr : need add autom...
