Adding metadata to PDF documents

2003-02-21 21:18

Hi,

 

I am creating a PDF document and sending it directly to an OutputStream object. I need to set viewer preferences and document meta data.

 

What class/method should I use in JasperReports to be able to do this? I know iText provides this functionality. How do I use this functionality from JasperReports?

 

Regards,

Arun Jayaprakash.

Hi,

 

JasperReports is not a PDF oriented library.

Exporting to PDF is only one of the available

features.

So, it does not support all the features that

iText offers.

It support only features that are common accross

multiple output formats.

 

Thank you,

Teodor
