Hi all, Thanks for the answers, it seems usable and in the fact similar what we want to do. Is it possible to show me or direct me to some API which will allow me to extract binary streams, replace it with zero byte stream and also direct me to some API which will do the opposite ?
Is it possible to send me some snippet or direction to the iText in action 2nd edition chapters to study (we already have the book but it has more than 500 pages) ?

It's fairly easy to use iText to extract binary streams and replace them with a zero byte stream (resulting in a PDF that will only show blank pages, but keeping stuff like bookmarks intact). It's also fairly easy to do the reverse and replace the zero byte streams with the actual streams. Using hashes to identify streams that are identical is exactly what PdfSmartCopy is doing to downsize PDF files with redundant information, so storing streams based on their hashes (but maybe also some other info, such as the original length of the stream) would work. > About deep nested XObjects - do not know, so it is better to suppose that yes > - will be in PDF's. This isn't a problem if you say it's OK to strip a PDF from all its streams and then reinsert the streams afterwards. > About the fonts - fonts will be subsetted, but there will be about 100000000 > PDF pages with the similar resources so even with subsets we should be able > to save some place.
