<div class="header">iText Toolbox</div>
<div class="title">Opening the Toolbox</div>
<div class="small">The iText toolbox can be started in two different ways.
You can <a href="download.html">download</a> the iText.jar. This is an executable jar.
You can execute it with:
<pre class="commandline">
java -jar iText.jar
</pre>
Or you can install it as a Java Web Start (JWS) application, just by clicking this
<a href="itext.jnlp">JNLP</a>-file.<br/>
All tools can also be called from the commandline with the same arguments in the same order as documented below.
Or you can call the tools from your own Java applications (see the <a href="http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/docs/com/lowagie/tools/plugins/package-summary.html">API</a> for more info).

PDF and links to the specific pages. The same goes for <a href="http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/objects/bookmarks/OutlineActions.pdf">OutlineActions.pdf</a> and

</div>
<div class="title">Various</div>
<div class="small">These are some handy tools that can be used for different purposes:
<ul>
<li><b>DvdCover:</b> Makes you a nice DVD cover for your home movies.
<ul>arguments
<li><b>destfile:</b> the path to the PDF that should be generated</li>
<li><b>title:</b> the title of the DVD</li>
<li><b>backgroundcolor:</b> the backgroundcolor of the DVD Cover (for instance 0xFFFFFF)</li>
<li><b>front:</b> (optional) the front image of the DVD Cover</li>
<li><b>back:</b> (optional) the back image of the DVD Cover</li>
<li><b>side:</b> (optional) the side image of the DVD Cover</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>ExtractAttachments:</b> Extracts all the files that are added to the PDF as an attachment.
<ul>arguments
<li><b>srcfile:</b> the path to the PDF with the attachments.</li></ul>
</li>
<li><b>Handouts:</b> Generates handouts with room for notes, based on an existing PDF file.
<ul>arguments
<li><b>srcdir:</b> the path to the directory that contains all the images</li>
<li><b>destfile:</b> the path to the PDF that should be generated</li>
<li><b>pages:</b> you can choose the number of original pages that should come on one page</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>LPRClient:</b> Allows to print pdf files directly to network reachable postscript printers that support rfc1179 lpr protocoll (port 515).<br/>
The source code was derived from <a href="http://www.hemasoft.de/dev/lprj/">http://www.hemasoft.de/dev/lprj/</a><br/>
It seems that most of the printers supporting postscript language level 3 are able to process
pdf directly but I am not sure about this (Another thing that can break pdf support is
the amount of ram in the printer).
<ul>arguments
<li><b>srcfile:</b> the path to the PDF you want to print;
if you do not choose a input file it uses a built-in postscript file
and sends it to the printer that makes the printer print some internal settings,
the postscript engine version and the postscript language level.</li>
<li><b>hostname</b> (or ip-adress)</li>
<li><b>queuename:</b> try "raw" or "raw1","raw2" on HP Jetdirect print servers,
some other manufacters need "print" or something else</li>
<li><b>copies:</b> 1-n, just the number of copies you want to print</li></ul>
</li>
</ul>
