Cannot Export To PDF!

2004-03-05 08:04

Hello,

 

I am trying to export a report to a PDF stream. It gave me some trouble as part of my application. So I wrote the following simple class to test it on its own. It still gives me the same problem. I have included all the required libraries for Jasper and Itext in the IDE. I have no idea what to do.

 

I have included the code and the error message down below:

 

Here is the code:

 

import dori.jasper.engine.*;

import dori.jasper.engine.base.*;

import java.io.*;

import java.awt.*;

 

public class TestPDF {

static FileOutputStream fos;

 

public static void main(String args[]) {

 

System.out.println("Okay class, let's test some Jasper PDFs!");

 

try{

 

File file = new File("C:\randomreport.pdf");

if (!file.exists()) {

file.createNewFile();

}

fos = new FileOutputStream(file);

 

JasperPrint jp = new JasperPrint();

 

JRBasePrintText jrpe = new JRBasePrintText();

jrpe.setText("Hello World");

jrpe.setTextHeight(20);

jrpe.setX(50);

jrpe.setY(50);

jrpe.setWidth(100);

jrpe.setHeight(20);

jrpe.setForecolor(Color.BLUE);

 

JRBasePrintPage jrbpp = new JRBasePrintPage();

jrbpp.addElement(jrpe);

 

jp.addPage(jrbpp);

jp.setPageHeight(200);

jp.setPageWidth(100);

 

JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(jp, fos);

 

fos.close();

 

System.out.println("Done");

} catch(Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}

finally {

closeAll();

System.out.println("What just happened??");

}

 

}

 

private static void closeAll() {

try {

fos.close();

} catch (IOException e){}

}

}

 

Here is the error:

 

Okay class, let's test some Jasper PDFs!

What just happened??

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfContentByte.transform(Ljava/awt/geom/AffineTransform;)V

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

What operating system and JVM version are you using?

I'm using Windows 2000 (5.00.2195) and my JVM (or Java) version is:

 

java version "1.4.2_03"

Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_03-b02)

Java HotSpot Client VM (build 1.4.2_03-b02, mixed mode)

 

Thanks

The version of iText in your classpath is older than the version (1.01) that comes with the current distributions of JasperReports and iReports. v0.96 doesn't contain this method.

Hi,

 

Sorry, my mistake, I should have updated

the "Requirements" page after releasing the 0.5.2.

 

Thank you,

Teodor

Greg,

 

I downloaded the iText1.0.1 version, and its working fine.

 

Thanks so much for your help.
