Hi,

I am also trying to read an rtf file and replace the place holders using freemarker. But free marker is not properly reading the rtf files. I am getting some junk text instead of my the real content in the file
the junk text looks like this :- {\rtf1\adeflang1025\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1\adeff0\deff0\stshfdbch0\stshfloch0\stshfhich0\stshfbi0)

Please help.

Thanks,
Bindu

One more quick question. I googled about the use of freemarker. It mainly replaces the placeholders inside ${} . I am wondering whether it can replace strings inside @ @??

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your patience in answering my questions. I also think Freemarker is a good choice in placeholder replacement.
Let me try with freemarker and JODConverter. Thanks

Thanks a lot, Tim . So you think JODConverter is the best option? And is the tool 'sed' is integrated with the JODConverter?
And are these 2 opensource??

Thanks for your quick reply. Do you have any idea, is this possible through iText?

Hi,

I am working on an application, where i need to generate PDF files to send out to the users.

I have a sample .rtf file, which is the template for the PDF files. This template is actually a letter format, in which the fields like name, address, license number etc are marked as @name@, @address@ etc. I have to generate pdf files( actually letters to the users) replacing @name@ ,@address@ etc with the real time name ,address from the database.

Can i use iText API for this? or PDFBox ? I googled but couldn't find much useful info.

Appreciate your advices.

Thanks in advance.
