As I had mentioned, I want to parse information out of an exisiting PDF file or an InputStream that would contain Base64 encoded version of PDF. Just was trying out with the examples to see if I can parse information out of the existing PDF files.
Since I could not figure out which objects must be used, I thought of sending it out to group. Iam not sure of any forum on iText.NET . Would appreciate if you point me towards the right direction. -----Original Message----- From: Paulo Soares [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 12:19 PM To: Vijay Cinnakonda; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [iText-questions] Parsing an existing PDF document This is a java forum, not .NET.
