***DRAFT - 05Jun2016*** ***NOTICE - THIS VERSION SHOULD BE USED ONLY WITH iText-2.1.7.jar*** README File for Get_iText //Get_iText Introduction Get_iText is a Java program for downloading the itext-2.1.7.jar file from the MVN repository and renaming the downloaded file to iText-2.1.7.jar, for compatibility with ScaleAndTile3, _v3u & _v3v, UPDF_v3u, and iText-toolbox-2.1.7. It is distributed as an executable JAR file, requiring only a compatible Java Runtime Environment (JRE), in order for the program to be run on any Windows (95 to Vista), Mac OS X, or Linux computer. How to Install and Run Get_iText.jar: Initial Setup 1. No installation at all is needed, if you already have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your computer. To see if JRE is present, execute "java -version" from a terminal window. If JRE is present, skip to step 3. 2. If you do not have the Java and iText required JRE on your computer, you must first download and install the required JRE from http://www.sun.com. 3. Copy the file Get_iText.jar into the working directory you wish to use. 4. For Windows users, you can now create a Shortcut for launching the program. Move the Shortcut to your Desktop for easy launching of the program. 5. From a terminal window, navigate to the working folder above and execute the command java -jar Get_iText.jar so you can see the messages that are sent to the terminal window when you run the GUI application. 6. Please read the current license conditions in the README file that comes with the program. 7. If you're using Windows, you should be able to launch the program by simply double-clicking on the icon for Get_iText.jar. 8. Please report any problems via email. Running the Program 1. For Windows users, double-click on the Get_iText.jar file icon or on the shortcut icon, to launch the program. Other users, launch the program from a terminal window by typing "java -jar Get_iText.jar" at the command prompt. In either case, the desired file iText-2.1.7.jar will appear in your working folder. Verify the time stamp on the file and make it executable. Notes 1. (TBD) Gifts Several Users have offered to pay for the use of the ScaleAndTile3-related programs. I have, so far, resisted the temptation to seek profit from UPDF, preferring instead to maintain the "free" model of distribution for as long as possible. For anyone who feels like showing their appreciation for the program via a charitable contribution, I would be glad to accept checks payable to "The Rotary Foundation" with the "For" line marked "EREY - William A. Segraves", which will be promptly turned over to The Rotary Foundation through the responsible committee chairman of the Rotary Club of Sarasota for transmittal to Rotary Headquarters. Please go to http://www.rotary.com to see the humanitarian uses to which your gifts will be applied. Thanks in advance for your generosity. Mailing address: William A.
