I need to convert an image to PDF file
in my Android application but i found two library iTextG
and iText
.
Are they open source?
YES, iText is an open source library. Infomation from itext oficial site: "iText is a free/open source software (F/OSS) project, giving you a lot of freedom and flexibility.... You have to respect the Affero General Public License (AGPL)."
and you can use it like that:
import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.itextpdf.text.Image;
public class ImageToPDF {
public static void main(String ... args) {
Document document = new Document();
String input = "c:/temp/capture.png"; // .gif and .jpg are ok too!
String output = "c:/temp/capture.pdf";
try {
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(output);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, fos);
writer.open();
document.open();
document.add(Image.getInstance(input));
document.close();
writer.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
