Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-854:
-------------------------------------------
Can you be more specific about the text? I'd like to search for some hints in
the resulting pdf and without knowing the exact string that would be difficult.
I'd also like to know some details about the used font. Do you use an external
font? Is the font embedded into the pdf? Do you try to use a font from the
original pdf?

> I add custom text to misc exsiting PDF files. Now I wondered why my text
> doesn't appear for a specific PDF. It is not encrypted, has the same page
> size and adding Text with iText 2.1.7 works as expected. My code to add text
> is:
> ----------------------------------
> final PDPage page = (PDPage) allPages.get(i);
> final PDPageContentStream contentStream = new
> PDPageContentStream(doc, page, true, false);
> contentStream.beginText();
> contentStream.setFont(font, sizeOfFont);
> contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(xf, yf);
> contentStream.drawString(text);
> contentStream.endText();
> contentStream.close();
> ---------------------------------
> I tried to find differences between this PDF and other PDFs. What I noticed:
> the PDF where I can't see the text has a PDF-Version "1.3" and was created by
> "AFPL Ghostscript 8.54". Is there some known issue with PDFBox and such
> "older" PDF formats?
