Vlad-Tudor Marchis updated PDFBOX-4002:
---------------------------------------
Description:
I've had some problems with the layer utility when trying to overlay two PDFs.
Normally it works fine, but I've encountered a type of PDF file on which it
doesn't work properly.
Text elements are not being displayed (it can be selected, but it looks to be
transparent), but images are.
I've stripped down my code to the bare minimum and produced a maven project
with a command line and provided some examples for the base, the overlay and
the output I get.
I've attached all below.
The usage for the command line is as follows:
java -jar Overlayer-1.0.jar -basePdf base.pdf -overlayPdf overlay.pdf -outPdf
out.pdf -layerName overlay
If I try to overlay the other way around, i.e. use the overlay.pdf in the
-basePdf parameter and the base.pdf in the -overlayPdf parameter, it does do
the overlaying, but obviously, that's not what I'm looking for.
Any hints as to why this might not work, or any particularities about the base
PDF that might be causing this to be behaving differently would be helpful.
