We are using itext 2.0.4 to add a stamp (this is just a text string) 
(over content) to existing scanned PDF files.
It works for most of them. But for a few documents it just does not work.
Following are some of the properties as we see from within Adobe Acrobat 
for the non-working documents.

PDF Producer: PDFScanLib v1.2.2 in Adobe Acrobat 7.0.8
Page Size: 8.53 X 11.00 in

I am not sure if page size has anything to do with it (or does it??!!) 
since the X and Y coordinates are being calculated based on the height 
and width of the Rectangle. We have also produced documents of other 
sizes and other combinations of properties.

But this particular specification (PDF Producer) seems to be the common 
one amongst the documents that fail.

My question is: Is there any limitation with itext to add content (in 
our case over content) for PDFs created with this particular PDF Producer ??

Answer: iText doesn't care about the producer that was used to
create the PDF; adding content with PdfStamper should work with
any PDF that was properly created.
Maybe the problem lies with the PDF; is it a valid PDF file?
Or with the way you try adding content; are you using PdfStamper?

This kind of problem was reported only once before, by somebody
who didn't understand that he was adding content outside the
visible page area.

Please do not reply to me personally, use the mailing list address
if you have any further questions.
br,
Bruno
