Hi Pdfbox dev ML!
I'm working with org.apache.pdfbox.multipdf.Overlay class to... well...
add overlays to PDFs and the functionality is great but I have a minor
issue with the API - it's completely filename-based and even though
PDDocument.load, that is used internally, has a lot of useful overloads
I don't see a workaround to load InputStream or a byte array as an overlay.
I see one place that all strings (that Overlay accepts) are converted to
PDDocuments, the loadPDF method:
private PDDocument loadPDF(String pdfName) throws IOException
{
return PDDocument.load(new File(pdfName));
}
If that method was at least "protected" I could override it in my own
subclass and return my own PDDocuments, loaded from InputStream or byte
arrays.
Do you think it would be a good idea?
If not, what would be the a better one? (Except copying the class and
modifying it myself, that I'm also considering :) ).
Thank you for your time!
Kind regards,
Wiktor
