users enters the name of village.

2nd Part: and I want to automatically sa ve the pdf file as the name of t he village entered in Jtextbox.

how to accomplish the 2nd part in itext?

note:: no use of servlets. only a stand alone app.

How would you normally provide a filename to iText?
However you do that, then simply get the String from the JTextBox and use that instead.

[seredi]

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("example.pdf"));

The above underlined "example.pdf" should be variable at runtime and should be able to be saved by desire of users.

how to do?

I've never used iText, and I am not currently doing Swing, and I also tend not to post "teh codez".

Find out how iText saves files (and weher it gets the name for the file from), then use the value in the text field instead...

seredi, don't start more than one thread for the same question. I've merged your two threads here.

Since you know that the FileOutputStream is initialized with a String, just pass it the text inside the JTextField (which is a String).

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(myTextField.getText()));
