It introduces a modular approach and improves support for advanced typography and Indic scripts. Key features include form filling and flattening, as well as efficient merging of multiple filled forms into a single PDF.
If AMD Adopted OMI in their EPYC ArchitectureAllan Cantle
AMD's EPYC Architecture has paved the way forward towards Heterogeneous Data Centric Computing, but it is still limited by it's parallel DDR interfaces. This presentation shows the potential for the EPYC architecture if it adopted the Open Memory Interface, OMI, for it's Near Memory interface.
During the CXL Forum at OCP Global Summit, SMART Modular Director Product Marketing Arthur Sainio, provides an overview of the company's CXL memory cards and modules.
This presentation is from the ZFS Tutorial presented at the USENIX LISA09 Conference at Baltimore, Maryland in November 2009.

12 Principles Of Knowledge Management By Enamul HaqueEnamul Haque
There is little doubt that we have entered the knowledge economy where what organisations know is becoming more important than the traditional sources of economic power – capital, land, plant and labour – which they command.
When people are given access to the information and resources they need to complete a task, they can finish it more quickly and effectively.
An engineer selecting a part for a sensor, a scientist analyzing data from an experiment, a manager selecting among various new technologies—all these actions are more likely to succeed if the people have access to relevant information about what has worked before and who has made the same analyses.
Knowledge management applications are the key to helping bring the right information to the right people at the right time to make the right decision.
These are the slides that were be presented at a GlobalSign customer event in Leuven on September 16, 2014. In my talk, I explained why digital signatures are important. I introduced the audience to the basic concepts used when signing documents and showed how these concepts are used in the context of PDF. Furthermore, I discussed different architectures to implement a digital signature solution, as well as how digital signatures can be used in a workflow and how we can create digital signatures for the long term.

Templates for PDF
iText strategies for the mass production of documents based on templates: two user stories presented by iText customers.
There are different ways to create high volumes of PDF:
- You can create the PDFs from scratch (the program is the template)
- You can fill out PDF forms based on AcroForm technology (the template is static)
- You can use an XML-based format as a template (XSL:FO, XHTML and CSS, custom XML)
- You can use a dynamic XFA form (the XML Forms Architecture)
In this session, we will give the floor to two of our customers, one that uses the core iText to create documents, one that uses XFA Worker, a tool built on top of iText.
Project for Governement: creating PDF using the XML Forms Architecture
By Pieter Robberechts, CSC
CSC has developed applications to automate Belgian Governmental tasks, more specifically Juridical tasks that are time consuming and error sensitive because of human input.
The fully automated 'E-griffie’ application renders juridical and legal forms, injecting XML into dynamic XFA templates that are then flattened into PDF/A documents using iText. Another application, JustX is an authentic Source Judgement Database to streamline information.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

1. PDF made easy with iText 7
What’s new in iText and iTextSharp?
Benoit Lagae, Developer, iText Software
Bruno Lowagie, Chief Strategy Officer, iText Group
2. Why did we write iText?
• Specific problems that needed to be solved
– Emancipate PDF from the desktop to the server
• Solved in 1998 with a first PDF library
• Deep knowledge of PDF required
– Make PDF creation easier for developers
• Solved in 2000 with the release of iText
• Concept: PdfWriter and Document
• Add high-level objects (e.g. paragraph, list, table)
3. History
• First release: 2000
• iText 1: 2003
• iText 2: 2007
• iText 5: 2009; upgrade to Java 5
• iText 7: 2016; upgrade to Java 7
iText is available for Java and .NET
4. Why iText 7?
iText 5 was approaching the limits of its architecture.
iText 7 overcomes these limits and enables further user-driven feature
development and more efficient support
• Complete revision of all classes and interfaces based on experience
with iText 5.
• Complete new layout module, which resolves some inconsistencies
in iText 5 and enables generation of complex layouts.
• Complete rewrite of font support enabling advanced typography.
6. Basic design principle
OutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(dest);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(fos);
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(writer);
// PDF knowledge needed to add content
pdf.close();
OutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(dest);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(fos);
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(writer);
Document document = new Document(pdf);
// No PDF knowledge needed to add content
document.close();
10. Hello world: the hard way
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(dest);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(fos);
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(writer);
PageSize ps = PageSize.A4;
PdfPage page = pdf.addNewPage(ps);
PdfCanvas canvas = new PdfCanvas(page);
canvas.beginText()
.setFontAndSize(
PdfFontFactory.createFont(FontConstants.HELVETICA), 12)
.moveText(36, 790)
.showText("Hello World!")
.endText();
pdf.close();
11. List example: code
// Create a PdfFont
PdfFont font = PdfFontFactory.createFont(FontConstants.TIMES_ROMAN);
// Add a Paragraph
document.add(new Paragraph("iText is:").setFont(font));
// Create a List
List list = new List()
.setSymbolIndent(12)
.setListSymbol("u2022")
.setFont(font);
// Add ListItem objects
list.add(new ListItem("Never gonna give you up"))
.add(new ListItem("Never gonna let you down"))
.add(new ListItem("Never gonna run around and desert you"))
.add(new ListItem("Never gonna make you cry"))
.add(new ListItem("Never gonna say goodbye"))
.add(new ListItem("Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you"));
// Add the list
document.add(list);
13. Image example
Image fox = new Image(ImageFactory.getImage(FOX));
Image dog = new Image(ImageFactory.getImage(DOG));
Paragraph p = new Paragraph("Quick brown ").add(fox)
.add(" jumps over the lazy ").add(dog);
document.add(p);
14. New in iText 7:
improved typography
and support for Indic scripts
15. iText 5: missing links
Indic scripts:
•Only unsupported major script family
•Feature request #1
•Huge opportunity
•limited support in most other PDF libraries
Other features:
•Optional ligatures in Latin script
•Vowel diacritics in Arabic
16. Indic scripts: problems
•Lack of expertise
•Unicode encodes 49 Indic scripts
•Complex scripts with unique features
•Glyph repositioning: ह + ि = िह
•Glyph substitution: ம + ு = மு
•Half-characters: त + + य = त्य
•Unsolvable issues for iText 5 font engine
•No dedicated Unicode points for half-characters
•No font lookups past ‘uFFFF’
•Ligaturization is context-dependent (virama)
17. Indic scripts: solutions
Writing a new font engine
• Automatic script recognition
• Based on Unicode ranges
• Flexibility = extensibility
• Generic Shaper class
• Separate module, only called when necessary
• Glyph replacement rules
• Different per writing system
• Alternate glyphs are font-dependent
20. Status of advanced
typography in iText 7
•Indic scripts
•We already support:
•Devanagari
•Tamil
•Coming soon:
•Telugu
•Others: based on customer demand
•Arabic
•Support for vocalized Arabic (diacritics) is in development
•Latin
•Optional ligatures are fully supported
23. Parse CSV line by line
OutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(dest);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(fos);
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(writer);
Document document = new Document(pdf, PageSize.A4.rotate());
document.setMargins(20, 20, 20, 20);
PdfFont font = PdfFontFactory.createFont(FontConstants.HELVETICA);
PdfFont bold = PdfFontFactory.createFont(FontConstants.HELVETICA_BOLD);
Table table = new Table(new float[]{4, 1, 3, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1});
table.setWidthPercent(100);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(DATA));
String line = br.readLine();
process(table, line, bold, true);
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
process(table, line, font, false);
}
br.close();
document.add(table);
document.close();
24. Process each line
public void process(Table table, String line,
PdfFont font, boolean isHeader) {
StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line, ";");
while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens()) {
if (isHeader) {
table.addHeaderCell(
new Cell().add(
new Paragraph(tokenizer.nextToken()).setFont(font)));
} else {
table.addCell(
new Cell().add(
new Paragraph(tokenizer.nextToken()).setFont(font)));
}
}
}
29. Fill the form
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(dest);
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(reader, writer);
PdfAcroForm form = PdfAcroForm.getAcroForm(pdf, true);
Map<String, PdfFormField> fields = form.getFormFields();
fields.get("name").setValue("James Bond");
fields.get("language").setValue("English");
fields.get("experience1").setValue("Off");
fields.get("experience2").setValue("Yes");
fields.get("experience3").setValue("Yes");
fields.get("shift").setValue("Any");
fields.get("info").setValue("I was 38 years old when I became an MI6 agent.");
pdf.close();
31. Flatten the form
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(dest);
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument(reader, writer);
PdfAcroForm form = PdfAcroForm.getAcroForm(pdf, true);
Map<String, PdfFormField> fields = form.getFormFields();
