Hi,


This is my first post in this forum, after doing lot of research i came to a conclusion only Abode API can help me in this. I have the following requirement (just a snippet of it).

I tried Jasper Reports, but i able unable to get the above format, moreover these datas will have the heading (title) highlighted, uses different symbols, underlines, uses different styles, fonts, etc. Which i think is only possible through MS WORD Api and can be done only in .NET , we tried and is pretty slow. Hence thought of doing it in Abode API in java . Please do provide some example of how to do this? I have downloaded the Indesign Server SDK and the Indesign suite . Is it possible through the indesign suite we can create the layout,font,styles,etc to be displayed in PDF? Please do send the code to generate the above snippet, as i am unable to find better examples using Indesign Java API. For your reference i have attached a sample dir data file. This is the format i need to generate in PDF, where these format is possible in Abode? I hope so.Thanks in advance. Waiting for your response..


Thanks,

Rithu

This is my requirement:-

Currently we have .NET application which is generating the data which is fetched from DB in MS Word, the problem with this is when fetching a huge amount of data it is pretty slow in terms of efficiency and performance. Hence we thought of using Indesign written in Java to generate the PDF format which contains the data. Currently we have .docx file which does have a specific content generated through MS Word API , I want to convert that in to a IDML format, so that this IDML can be used with Indesign server API to generate the PDF. This is the requirement, since you are telling we can generate a PDF from IDML, I need to create a POC on this. Can you send me the source code of converting .docx -> IDML -> PDF via Java API?


Hi Rithanya,

Did you get a solution to this?
