Can you make the pdf more professional and beautiful?
Ah, creating PDFs! It’s like cooking a gourmet dish, but with pixels and vectors instead of spices and herbs. Let’s spice up your PDF to make it more visually appealing, like it’s strutting down a digital runway!
Here’s an enhanced version of your code:
private fun createPdfFile(): File? {
val pdfDocument = PdfDocument()
val pageInfo = PdfDocument.PageInfo.Builder(595, 842, 1).create()
val page = pdfDocument.startPage(pageInfo)
val canvas = page.canvas
val paint = Paint()
val titlePaint = Paint()
paint.textSize = 12f
paint.color = Color.BLACK
titlePaint.textSize = 20f
titlePaint.typeface = Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD, Typeface.BOLD)
titlePaint.color = Color.BLUE
val marginLeft = 50f
var yPosition = 60
canvas.drawText("Seminars Preview", marginLeft, yPosition.toFloat(), titlePaint)
yPosition += 40
seminarList.forEach { seminar ->
paint.typeface = Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD)
canvas.drawText("Subject: ${seminar.subject}", marginLeft, yPosition.toFloat(), paint)
yPosition += 20
paint.typeface = Typeface.create(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.NORMAL)
canvas.drawText("Date: ${seminar.date}", marginLeft, yPosition.toFloat(), paint)
yPosition += 20
canvas.drawText("Time: ${seminar.time}", marginLeft, yPosition.toFloat(), paint)
yPosition += 20
canvas.drawText("Room: ${seminar.room}", marginLeft, yPosition.toFloat(), paint)
yPosition += 30
// Adding a separator line for better readability
val linePaint = Paint()
linePaint.color = Color.GRAY
linePaint.strokeWidth = 1f
canvas.drawLine(marginLeft, yPosition.toFloat(), pageInfo.pageWidth - marginLeft, yPosition.toFloat(), linePaint)
yPosition += 20
}
pdfDocument.finishPage(page)
val directoryPath = requireContext().cacheDir.toString()
val file = File(directoryPath, "SeminarsPreview.pdf")
return try {
pdfDocument.writeTo(FileOutputStream(file))
pdfDocument.close()
file
} catch (e: Exception) {
e.printStackTrace()
pdfDocument.close()
null
}
}
