Sure, it's possible that they are using some tool that adds text directly to the content instead of as an annotation. Perfectly valid.
In which case, removal is MUCH harder (but not impossible) -----Original Message----- From: AJ Weber [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 10:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Strip Annotations? >I'm using RUPS to view a PDF that has some kind of text annotation/stamp, but >I can't find the actual object (even >though it's a one-page document and >there aren't that many entries in RUPS at all!) to determine exactly what my >>target object is... OK, I found the "offending text". It's in the Page's /Contents "stream"??? Background: the original PDF is a PDF/Image (actually created using iText 2.1.4 by a third party, according to the metadata). So is a user somehow inserting their comment-text as the plain-text contents of the page (even though the original/image is still there)? (I'm not entirely clear on what the /Contents stream is supposed to traditionally be.) I can't send the document, but I can take a screen-shot of the page's subtree from RUPS if that helps (and I'm allowed to attach a jpeg or something to the post).
