How to give properties to a .csv file in Java - java

I am having trouble implementing properties to a .csv file when I export it through Java. I will mainly be using the .csv in Excel. Is it possible to give bold text or any sort of properties to a .csv file in Java? Specifically, I want to give a background color to certain cells and make some text bold to differentiate the cells from other cells. For example, I want to make the first row in the .csv file bold to show that the first row is like a header.
One restraint, I want to avoid using any API's from the internet.

If you want bold or other features to show up in Excel you need to create an excel file. csv means Comma delimited file. All it has is data separated by commas. No formatting what-so-ever.

your best bet is to do this manually. there is no programmable way to tell which part of the picture contains the data of interest.

Display complete jtextarea content into single cell of excel file during export.

i am developing one desktop application with the functionality of exporting jtable content into an excel file.
Now here is the flow of project code that i am implementing:-
After importing jtable into excel, data is written in this way:- (only single record is in jtable)
Now here all data is exporting in proper way except OUR REMARKS & CLIENT REPORT.
I have also tried to implement setLineWrap() and setWrapStyleWord() but still its not working.
Here is my code for above functions for OUR REMARKS textarea:-
txtOurRemarks.setLineWrap(true);
txtOurRemarks.setWrapStyleWord(true);
Can anyone help me out in this?
Thanks.
I would guess the problem is that you have new line characters in your output file. So you would need to replace those characters with a blank character so they appear together on a single line in Excel.

I want to generate a pdf file in java and put text on particular location

I want to generate a pdf file in java where I can put text on particular location and later print that file
So first you want to generate a pdf and then put text on it or you want to have a text file put text on it and then convert it in a pdf file?
I am not familiar with this but the approach I would follow is:
1) Create the file and add text to it
2) Convert this text file in a pdf file
3) print the file
Now, creating a file and adding text to it is easy, check bufferedwriter, inputstreamwriter etc. For the generating of the pdf I would say also to check the iText library.
Here are some useful links:

How to copy the content with line breaks from a JTable to Excel with line breaks included

I have an application where I have a JTable with line breaks(pressing Enter key while editing) included in each and every cell.
The problem appears when I copy the contents from my JTable to Excel, I am not getting the contents in same format as in my Jtable(with line breaks) to my excel that is with line breaks.
Is there any way to solve my problem.I have to get the contents from my jtable to excel in the same format with line breaks.
Thank You

I don't know much about DnD. I think that typically you use a delimiter for each cell data (like comma or tab) and then a newline for each row of data.
So if your cell data contains newline characters you would probably need to wrap the cell data in "...". This would mean you need to write a custom TransferHandler for the table. The old TableTransferHandler from the JDK5 tutorial might help you get started.
How are you copying the contents? Are you using the build in copy support?(ie select all contents and copy w/ ctrl-c), or did you write something yourself to do the copy and paste?
You may have to do the latter, and make sure that you insert the necessary line break characters in to the text.
