Last night the Frankfurt Webmontag was very nice.
Since I’m a developer, I like the techi-stuff most and last night was an 80% techi Webmontag. Very interesting presentations (not only the techi ones) and a lot of new and interesting people that I met.
We had
Since I’m doing a lot of android stuff, I definitely have to check out the cross platform mobile dev and get back to you with some further information in upcoming posts.
This blog post is dedicated to Darren Cooper who always says:
“If you like Webmontag, tell others … if you don’t, tell us (so that we can make it better)”
I just want to tell everyone:

I just uploaded my first Java App for free for you.
As you know, I was recently playing around with iText for some serious PDF action.
Last night I came across the problem to merge an office generated letter with my (also available as pdf file) letter paper. I usually print those so I don’t have the letter paper in my office document. This time I wanted to send out an E-Mail as PDF and that’s where the problem started:
I was looking for some software to merge my letter with my letter paper and I only found some demo stuff which always put some kind of watermark into my document.
Ok, iText, PDF-manupulation .. here we go. On my new site My Apps you can now download the PdfLetterPaper application which first of all is for free and 2nd does not put any demo watermark crap into your document.
Currently the app only supports one page or better; merging the first page of your letter with your letter paper. I’ll fix that later .. I had no need for that at the moment.
Go ahead and enjoy some unrestricted pdf merging.
Just fyi: If you are using Free PDF XP to print PDF files from your office documents, make sure that you configure it on the “medium quality” or “high quality”. The default on my computer was “ebook”. I don’t know what the hell Free PDF XP is doing here, but the created PDF will not merge with the other one. I always had a big X over the whole document and it took me some time to figure out what happend and who was the culprit.
