My application was written with iText 5.0.2. I have both books and have
searched the archives but have not found any similar issues (I admit I may have
missed them). My application simply concatenates multiple PDF documents. The
first and last document are generating using iText methods. The filler pages
are signature pages scanned by multiple users and stored in a database as
BLOBs. My application has been working great until recently. Prior to
concatenating the PDF documents, I perform a "sanity check" by checking the
number of pages. I have noticed the troublesome documents were created using
the Adobe Acrobat 10.13 Paper Capture Plug in. I verified this by opening the
document with Adobe Reader and examined the Properties. The PDF Version is
1.6(Acrobat 7.x) however I do not suspect the version is the issue since other
documents which successfully concatenate have the same version. I also found
that documents generated using the Adobe Acrobat 9.51 Paper Capture Plug In do
not cause a problem.
If I open the document using Adobe Reader and then save the document and
replace the database BLOB with the new version, the concatenation works fine.
I examined the before and after documents using MS WordPad and did note that
there are significant differences at the end of the file and in the actual file
size. Is there a better Windows-based tool for examining/comparing the
"contents" or "structure" of the documents? I can provide a snippet of my
source code but do not feel that is the problem. Unfortunately, I cannot
provide a copy of the actual signature pages because they contain actual hand
written signatures. Ultimately, I would like to accept only digitally signed
documents, but unfortunately the "resources" are not available to sign the
documents. Has anyone experienced any similar issues or does anyone have any
suggestions?
Thanks.
