Costuming Page Size PDF Using Java
In this example we
are going to set background color of a PDF using java.In this example we are using setBackgroundColor(Color object) to set the background color.
There are basic five steps to create PDF:
We are creating and object of rectangle.We are passing this rectangle into Document to customs the page size.
Rectangle pageSize = new Rectangle(216, 720);
Step1: Creation of a document-object
Document document = new Document(pageSize);
Step2:
Create a writer that listens to the document and directs a PDF-stream to a file.
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("CustomPageSize.pdf"));
Step3: Open the document
document.open();
Step4: Add a paragraph to the document.We are adding the standard size of the page in diffrent unit.These values will added at PDF file.
document.add(new Paragraph("The size of this page is 216x720 points."));
document.add(new Paragraph("216pt / 72 points per inch = 3 inch"));
document.add(new Paragraph("720pt / 72 points per inch = 10 inch"));
document.add(new Paragraph("The size of this page is 3x10 inch."));
document.add(new Paragraph("3 inch x 2.54 = 7.62 cm"));
document.add(new Paragraph("10 inch x 2.54 = 25.4 cm"));
document.add(new Paragraph("The size of this page is 7.62x25.4 cm."));
Step 5: Close the document
document.close();:

}
catch(IOException ioe) {

}
// Step5:Here we are closing the document
