Question

Can we create PDF file in android?

• I have Tried all Google Search.
• Also seen more examples on it.

• And i have tried this,

  File f=new File("/data/data/com.pdf/test1.pdf");  
  Log.d("test", "created");  
  Document document = new Document();  
  PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(f));  
  document.open();            
  document.addTitle("My first PDF");
  document.addSubject("Using iText");
  document.addKeywords("Java, PDF, iText");  
  document.addAuthor("Lars Vogel");
  document.addCreator("Lars Vogel");
  Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph("This is left aligned text with indentation");
  paragraph.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
  paragraph.setIndentationLeft(50);
  document.add(paragraph);
  document.close();
  Toast.makeText(this, "Pdf Created", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();  
  

But This Gives Error As ,

Answer 1

I guess that the jar which contains the PdfWriter class got not exported into the apk file.

Look here for a solution.
