如何从Web应用程序生成纸质打印?
具体来说,我正在考虑更复杂的纸质文件,如文凭,发票和合同.包含框架,表格,徽标和页眉/页脚的可变页数.
今天我使用自定义表单和CSS用于某些事情,而iTextSharp用于其他人(我使用asp.net和MS-sql),但我认为这两种方法都非常耗时且难以在不同文档中保持一致.
还有更好的方法吗?
解决方法
使用iTextSharp从头开始创建文档可能非常耗时.作为替代方案,您可以通过向其添加表单字段来创建(或重用)PDF“模板”文档(如果需要).最简单的方法是使用完整版的Adobe Acrobat,但您也可以使用iTextSharp添加可填写的表单字段.
例如,对于奖励或文凭,您可以查找,创建或修改包含文档的所有文本,图形,花式边框和字体的PDF,然后为收件人的名称添加表单字段.您可以为日期,签名行,奖励类型等添加其他字段.
然后,您可以非常轻松地使用Web应用程序中的iTextSharp填写表单,将其展平并将其流回用户.
还要记住,iTextSharp(或只是iText)对于组合来自不同文档的PDF文档或页面也很有用.因此,对于具有封面或说明页面的固定设计但是动态生成内容的年度报告,您可以打开封面,打开报告的模板页面,在模板的空白区域生成动态内容,打开后页“样板”,然后将它们全部合并到一个文档中以返回给用户.
