Cool. That's what I had been trying to do, but I'm unable to find the
itext api to do that on an image. Probably something simple, I just can't
see it. Can you give/point me at example code to set custom key
on com.itextpdf.text.Image?
Have tried:
image.setAdditional(new PdfDictionary());
image.getAdditional().put(new PdfName("foo"), new PdfString("bar"));
and have tried all of the other setters on image. Then looking in rups ui
or in my extraction code looping over PdfObjects returned by
reader.getPdfObject(i), and I don't see any of them.
