Sounds like a good use of XML with XSLT. You create an XML source version with all possible content. Then either have a stylesheet for each permutation or (if that's not practical), create the XSLT on the fly based on user inputs.
Then apply the stylesheet to the XML to produce the iText XML. Then run it thru iText to make the PDF. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Hull [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 2:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [iText-questions] Modifying specific areas of existing PDFs. I'm trying to set up a system where marketing can create PDF promotional materials that can be "personalized" by individual salesmen. The documents have areas where custom text or graphics can be added, but the rest of the document should not be changed. What classes should I be looking at in itext to accomplish this? Essentially-- read in existing PDF, locate the area that is modifiable, and add new content to it. Additionally, if there is no easy PDF-standard way to mark a region modifiable, can anyone suggest a way to put some sort of "marker" into the page that could be found by walking through the objects after loading the PDF? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
