Hi Kandarp,

you will find existing projects within this website that are dealing with pdf generation / templating etc.,mostly using itext library

http://community.bonitasoft.com/project?field_project_category_tid=All&title=pdf&term_node_tid_depth=All&sort_by=created&sort_order=DESC

Some may need to be “migrated” to Bonita BPM v6 but that should not be too complex,as the java code inside is merelythe same !

Hi, kandarp.
Thanks for sharing your problem. As for me, I have seldom tried to deal with that kind of problem before. Have you ever worked it out? I wonder whether you have any exprience about pdf extracting process. Because there is something wrong with my pdf reader. I need convert pdf into text or other formats. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Pan

I’ve faced this problem and the solution was prompted to me by a colleague who at times edited the PDF files online with the tool edit-pdf.pdffiller.com
All functions, implemented by this package we can split into several steps: downloading file, processing and “done” easy, is not it?
Well, I would say much easier than using packages of professional visualizers in which I understand nothing)

i Create one custom connector , but it will put into failed stage when executed .
how do i figureout it

/**

*/
package org.mycompany.connector;

import org.bonitasoft.engine.connector.ConnectorException;
import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
import com.itextpdf.text.Paragraph;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;

public class GeneratePDFImpl extends AbstractGeneratePDFImpl {

Document document = new Document();

@Override
protected void executeBusinessLogic() throws ConnectorException{
	try{
        PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("ThisisTest.pdf"));
        document.add(new Paragraph("A Hello World PDF document."));
	}
	catch(Exception e)
	{
		throw new ConnectorException(e);
	}
 }

@Override
public void connect() throws ConnectorException{
	document.open();

}

@Override
public void disconnect() throws ConnectorException{
	document.close();
}

}
