The last release 1.0.0 is Jun 2017. Which doesn't have the frame.add function.

Can we have another new release?

Do you use pdfbox-layout1? Try pdfbox-layout2

tonychangcheng commented 5 years ago

The changes is committed after the release of pdfbox-layout2-1.0.0 https://github.com/ralfstuckert/pdfbox-layout/commit/501c1a37491ebad3e6abd77d0f8f0937a335638f

Hi, to be quite honest: I'm dropping support for this library, since it is a dead end. I started this project since iText was no longer available for commercial usage and I quickly needed some kind of replacement for easy layout tasks in a project. But recursive layouts (e.g. tables) won't be possible with the current flow, and alas I don't have the time for a redesign (or a design at all ;-).

But now a new player entered the stage: https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF It is licensed under MPL which should be usable for most cases, so give it a try...

Sorry Ralf

OpenPdf is based on iText? Is this correct? After switching from iText to PdfBox, now I will have to get the old iText based code out of the recycle bin ...?

Please give OpenPDF a try. It is based on a fork of iText svn tag 4, which is compatible with iText 2.1.7.
