> Hello Sir,
> We are facing an issue with one of our current requirement which is to read
> content from one of the PDF document which has some placeholders in it. These
> placeholders are required to be replaced with new values and the then to save
> the document in PDF format with these new values. We have looked at the class
> ReplaceString.java which provides this functionality of replacing a single
> string in the adobe document, but we will not be able to use this class as we
> have approx 15 strings to be replaced. We are looking for a functionality
> which can help us to replace these 15 strings once the file is read and
> before saving the file with new string values. We have tried the following
> approach, we looked at the source of ReplaceString.Java file and used the
> source code to replace the multiple strings, what we have observed during
> debugging that while reading the document the returned token contains only
> the random portion of the placeholder string and not the complete word
> (sometimes it contains first 3 characters of the word and sometimes last 4
> characters of the word); we never get the token with complete placeholder
> word or string. We are using JDK 1.4.2_16 version on 64 bit windows system.
> Any help to realize the required fucntionality is highly appreciated.
> Thanks and Regards,
> Naga Kishore Vankayala
