I'm new to java, and I'm learning how to create PDF, I was using Itext to create PDF, but because it handles a license I stopped using it, and started using PDFbox. I've searched the internet for how to convert from CSV to PDF, but I can't find an example of how to use margins, or how to align the content.
Using Itext, this is my code using Itext7, it works perfectly but i want to migrate it to PDFbox
public static boolean isEmpty(File rutaCSV) {

File csvFile = new File("path");
if (csvFile.exists()){
csvFile.delete();
return false;
}
System.out.println(csvFile.delete());
}catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println(ex);
}
}
return true;
}else{
System.out.println("There's not files");
return true;

I want two columns in an excel sheet with column 1 containing File or
Folder and column 2 containing the name of the file/folder
eg
File books.xml
Folder Script
Thus i want to write the output to the excel sheet
i am using the function excel log to write to the output screen
I use this to write to an excel - however I make it .csv format, not xls. Therefore this might not be what you need, but it's still partially useful as it's writing in a file that can be opened by excel efortlessly.

it misses some string, it not replaces entire document..please help with sample code
I do something similar in my project at https://github.com/centic9/poi-mail-merge which provides a general mail-merge functionality based on POI. It is using a bit different functionality from XmlBeans which replaces strings in the full XML-content of the document instead of each paragraph separately.

final String mainPart;
// exclude template itself in first appending
if(first) {
mainPart = "";
} else {
mainPart = srcString.substring(srcString.indexOf(">")+1,srcString.lastIndexOf("<"));
}
String suffix = srcString.substring( srcString.lastIndexOf("<") );
String addPart = append.substring(append.indexOf(">") + 1, append.lastIndexOf("<"));
CTBody makeBody = CTBody.Factory.parse(prefix+mainPart+addPart+suffix);

I am trying to read large excel files xlsx via Apache POI, say 40-50 MB. I am getting out of memory exception. The current heap memory is 3GB.
I can read smaller excel files without any issues. I need a way to read large excel files and then them back as response via Spring excel view.
public class FetchExcel extends AbstractView {
#Override
protected void renderMergedOutputModel(
Map model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
String fileName = "SomeExcel.xlsx";
response.setContentType("application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet");
OPCPackage pkg = OPCPackage.open("/someDir/SomeExcel.xlsx");
XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(pkg);
ServletOutputStream respOut = response.getOutputStream();
pkg.close();
workbook.write(respOut);
respOut.flush();
workbook = null;
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" +fileName+ "\"");
}
}
I first started off using XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(FileInputStream in);
but that was costly per Apache POI API, so I switched to OPC package way but still the same effect. I don't need to parse or process the file, just read it and return it.
Here is an example to read a large xls file using sax parser.
public void parseExcel(File file) throws IOException {
OPCPackage container;
try {
container = OPCPackage.open(file.getAbsolutePath());
ReadOnlySharedStringsTable strings = new ReadOnlySharedStringsTable(container);
XSSFReader xssfReader = new XSSFReader(container);
StylesTable styles = xssfReader.getStylesTable();
XSSFReader.SheetIterator iter = (XSSFReader.SheetIterator) xssfReader.getSheetsData();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
InputStream stream = iter.next();
processSheet(styles, strings, stream);
stream.close();
}
} catch (InvalidFormatException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (OpenXML4JException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
protected void processSheet(StylesTable styles, ReadOnlySharedStringsTable strings, InputStream sheetInputStream) throws IOException, SAXException {
InputSource sheetSource = new InputSource(sheetInputStream);
SAXParserFactory saxFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
try {
SAXParser saxParser = saxFactory.newSAXParser();
XMLReader sheetParser = saxParser.getXMLReader();
ContentHandler handler = new XSSFSheetXMLHandler(styles, strings, new SheetContentsHandler() {
#Override
public void startRow(int rowNum) {
}
#Override
public void endRow() {
}
#Override
public void cell(String cellReference, String formattedValue) {
}
#Override
public void headerFooter(String text, boolean isHeader, String tagName) {
}
},
false//means result instead of formula
);
sheetParser.setContentHandler(handler);
sheetParser.parse(sheetSource);
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("SAX parser appears to be broken - " + e.getMessage());
}
You don't mention whether you need to modify the spreadsheet or not.
This may be obvious, but if you don't need to modify the spreadsheet, then you don't need to parse it and write it back out, you can simply read bytes from the file, and write out bytes, as you would with, say an image, or any other binary format.
If you do need to modify the spreadsheet before sending it to the user, then to my knowledge, you may have to take a different approach.
Every library that I'm aware of for reading Excel files in Java reads the whole spreadsheet into memory, so you'd have to have 50MB of memory available for every spreadsheet that could possibly be concurrently processed. This involves, as others have pointed out, adjusting the heap available to the VM.
If you need to process a large number of spreadsheets concurrently, and can't allocate enough memory, consider using a format that can be streamed, instead of read all at once into memory. CSV format can be opened by Excel, and I've had good results in the past by setting the content-type to application/vnd.ms-excel, setting the attachment filename to something ending in ".xls", but actually returning CSV content. I haven't tried this in a couple of years, so YMMV.
In the bellwo example I'll add a complete code how to parse a complete excel file (for me 60Mo) into list of object without any problem of "out of memory" and work fine:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
class DistinctByProperty {
private static OPCPackage xlsxPackage = null;
private static PrintStream output= System.out;
private static List<MassUpdateMonitoringRow> resultMapping = new ArrayList<>();
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
File file = new File("C:\\Users\\aberguig032018\\Downloads\\your_excel.xlsx");
double bytes = file.length();
double kilobytes = (bytes / 1024);
double megabytes = (kilobytes / 1024);
System.out.println("Size "+megabytes);
parseExcel(file);
}
public static void parseExcel(File file) throws IOException {
try {
xlsxPackage = OPCPackage.open(file.getAbsolutePath(), PackageAccess.READ);
ReadOnlySharedStringsTable strings = new ReadOnlySharedStringsTable(xlsxPackage);
XSSFReader xssfReader = new XSSFReader(xlsxPackage);
StylesTable styles = xssfReader.getStylesTable();
XSSFReader.SheetIterator iter = (XSSFReader.SheetIterator) xssfReader.getSheetsData();
int index = 0;
while (iter.hasNext()) {
try (InputStream stream = iter.next()) {
String sheetName = iter.getSheetName();
output.println();
output.println(sheetName + " [index=" + index + "]:");
processSheet(styles, strings, new MappingFromXml(resultMapping), stream);
}
++index;
}
} catch (InvalidFormatException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (OpenXML4JException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static void processSheet(StylesTable styles, ReadOnlySharedStringsTable strings, MappingFromXml mappingFromXml, InputStream sheetInputStream) throws IOException, SAXException {
DataFormatter formatter = new DataFormatter();
InputSource sheetSource = new InputSource(sheetInputStream);
try {
XMLReader sheetParser = SAXHelper.newXMLReader();
ContentHandler handler = new XSSFSheetXMLHandler(
styles, null, strings, mappingFromXml, formatter, false);
sheetParser.setContentHandler(handler);
sheetParser.parse(sheetSource);
System.out.println("Size of Array "+resultMapping.size());
} catch(ParserConfigurationException e) {
throw new RuntimeException("SAX parser appears to be broken - " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
you have to add a calss that implements
SheetContentsHandler
import com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.operations.Bool;
import org.apache.poi.ss.util.CellAddress;
import org.apache.poi.ss.util.CellReference;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.eventusermodel.XSSFSheetXMLHandler.SheetContentsHandler;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFComment;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class MappingFromXml implements SheetContentsHandler {
private List<myObject> result = new ArrayList<>();
private myObject myObject = null;
private int lineNumber = 0;
/**
* Number of columns to read starting with leftmost
*/
private int minColumns = 25;
/**
* Destination for data
*/
private PrintStream output = System.out;
public MappingFromXml(List<myObject> list) {
this.result = list;
}
#Override
public void startRow(int i) {
output.println("iii " + i);
lineNumber = i;
myObject = new myObject();
}
#Override
public void endRow(int i) {
output.println("jjj " + i);
result.add(myObject);
myObject = null;
}
#Override
public void cell(String cellReference, String formattedValue, XSSFComment comment) {
int columnIndex = (new CellReference(cellReference)).getCol();
if(lineNumber > 0){
switch (columnIndex) {
case 0: {//Tech id
if (formattedValue != null && !formattedValue.isEmpty())
myObject.setId(Integer.parseInt(formattedValue));
}
break;
//TODO add other cell
}
}
}
#Override
public void headerFooter(String s, boolean b, String s1) {
}
}

I too faced the same issue of OOM while parsing xlsx file...after two days of struggle, I finally found out the below code that was really perfect;
This code is based on sjxlsx. It reads the xlsx and stores in a HSSF sheet.
[code=java]
// read the xlsx file
SimpleXLSXWorkbook = new SimpleXLSXWorkbook(new File("C:/test.xlsx"));
HSSFWorkbook hsfWorkbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Sheet hsfSheet = hsfWorkbook.createSheet();
Sheet sheetToRead = workbook.getSheet(0, false);
SheetRowReader reader = sheetToRead.newReader();
Cell[] row;
int rowPos = 0;
while ((row = reader.readRow()) != null) {
org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row hfsRow = hsfSheet.createRow(rowPos);
int cellPos = 0;
for (Cell cell : row) {
if(cell != null){
org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell hfsCell = hfsRow.createCell(cellPos);
hfsCell.setCellType(org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING);
hfsCell.setCellValue(cell.getValue());
}
cellPos++;
}
rowPos++;
}
return hsfSheet;[/code]
